That there oil spill....

[Arathorn136]

The Transocean Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killed 11 workers and caused the worst oil spill in US history.The best way they could have stopped it was nuke it. But of course, he greedy shareholders don't want to lose their precious oil. Instead of nuking it, the idiots decided to make a cap, which didn't work, and wasn't expected too. Now the oil spill is ten times worse than the Exxon Valdez disaster. Heck it's probably 100 times worse. The oil spill is still leaking, what is it, 500 barrels a day or something like that. During the Exxon Valdez spill, millions of fish and fish eggs were killed, hundreds of thousands of seabirds, whales,, and pretty much every other marine organism. Since this oil spill is so much worse, who knows how much sea life it will kill?

Not only is the oil polluting the water, it is polluting the land. Waves and ocean currents are constantly pushing oil landward, causing a build-up of oil scum on the coast. Some oil sinks to the bottom, where it is almost harmless, but for the most part, it goes directly to the top, as it's desity is less than water.
