It'd probably drive the oil several miles inland, maybe coating everything in the process.

I would guess that a hurricane is just what is needed to reduce the concentration of oil to a survivable level. Hardly an ideal solution...

Jinx ... yeah, true, think of that as a self-cleaning spill ... very clean.

ZenGum · 06-04-2010, 07:37 PM

Gulf stream ... could this oil end up on English beaches?

TheMercenary · 06-04-2010, 07:38 PM

I have no idea, but I seriously doubt it.

Hey, free rust-proofing!

BP has succeeded in putting on a cap device that has caught about 6,000 barrels in the past 24 hours. Unfortunately, about 19,000 barrels a day are leaking into the ocean. Its a case of too little too late. I've read that the water near the coast looks red from all the oil. Such a tragedy!

But BP says nobody needs to know how many barrels are leaking ... and then said it was only 5,000 barrels per day. Why do these numbers not work? Is somebody smarter than a 2nd Grader?

Edited for TW, I'm sure that's what he meant classic. Or at least thats what I've decided he meant.

Oh c'mon tw - there are plenty of people smarter than a 2nd grader.
It seems that none of them are currently employed at BP.

Perhaps you are right - after rereading it the writing style still leaves it ambiguous. <shrug>

Griff · 06-07-2010, 08:24 PM

I saw some tv news over the weekend. They were talking about gallons of oil, my bad.

The whole situation will be a nail in the Coffin of LA.

Here in France, the news channel speak of 'barrels' of oil, yet when I read news in english the amount of oil is sometimes expressed in gallons.

I know the difference between the two: 55 gallons to 1 barrel.

Can someone give me hard numbers ?
