What a complete mess! 37 days & counting.....

In the last few days as we wait to see if and when this "Top Kill" will work. (Apparently, its not) We've learn that this is in fact, the largest oil spill recorded! Almost 2-3 times that of Esson Veldez and steady climbing. Estimated 17,000 - 39,000 million gallon to date, where BP's est. was at 11 million. So of course, the companies not going to give off the worse case estimate. They want to protect their brand name. It will however , bite them in the butt in the days & years to come. Because it will all come forth, in the inquires that will be sure to follow.

Still the impact of this on the enviroment will be unspeakable. The lost of wildlife, economics and even the political ramifications will sure endure long after they plug this leak.

N.W.F. reports about 150 threatened or endangered sea turtles are dead. Some 316 sea birds, mostly brown pelicans & northern gannets, have been found dead along the Gulf Coast as a result of the spreading oil. I've heard about some endanger turtles that had to be relocated. This is still in the early stages of a major on-going disaster.
