You know, author, I'm not so worried 'bout the lost of the spilled oil in itself, but very, very worried 'bout what can happen with our Nature with such accident. Moments of damage; months, years to turn everything into normality...

Great name at the bottom! good work, esp. w/plastic wrap for the slick. And oh, that 'twere so, that we could use these beasts of burden to clean it up. Erikuri is right, it's going to take a long time.

scariest part, is some of the right wing nuts want to seal it with a Nuclear bomb.. YIKES

i believe it was all part of the plan to take the publics attention off of something else goin on in the government.... call me a conspiracy theorist.... lol... OUTSTANDING WORK AUTHOR!!

Very strong image...good luck

beautiful entry...........

Author, nuclear bomb??? where in the world did you hear that ??? had to be from some lefty source.

Fox news .. where else.. Christopher Brownfield gives the suggestion that shutting the leak up with massive explosives and using a nuclear bomb to melt the piping... CRAZY!!!!

Chris Brownfield is a writer for ' The Daily Beast " a liberal blog.

I saw it on FOX news Golckman.. so I kinda just assumed it was a right winger.. my bad.. but he's not really that endorsed by the left either... still creepy as hell to think about

EDIT: Doesn't matter now anyway.. the first marshlands have been corrupted.. and not by tar balls.. but pure liquid oil, welcome to a 20 to 50 year disaster... I guess the drill baby drill is really working out now

wooooo hoooo......

Impressive image, Westfall you could be exactly right with your observation albeit a nasty game of Wag the Dog if it were true.

nice idea

Nicely done.....gl
