"Lighter-than-water crystals called hydrates have thwarted BP's attempts to contain the gulf oil leak with a 100-ton funnel. The extreme pressure and low temperatures at the sea floor are creating tiny shards of crystallized gas that clogged the steel and concrete cofferdam and threatened to make the structure buoyant. BP has moved the containment dome 650 feet away from the well while their engineers continue to evaluate options."
What?
The news stories from BP continue to be released. With nice nice like "BP plans to pay for all Damages" and "Our containment dome has been compromised by ice".. Well this ice ain't your mommas ice tea ice.
It is - sodium -methyl-sulfate something-or-nother..BP just doesn't want to come out and say "
Uh - now the thing is spewing deadly poison"
This along with the news that Alabama Law limits damages in courts to $75 Million Dollars.
About the damage to our beaches that occurred Tuesday afternoon.
I have to wonder, Does the US navy not have some kind of ordnance that will blow that hole shut?
Of course that would also blow shut any hopes BP has for making millions or even billions from this gusher after the blast.
It is beginning to appear that the need for profit is preempting the need to stop the flow of oil.
What do you think?
