BP=British Polluters
I am an avid watcher of 60 minutes as they usually tell it like it is. Don't you think with all the money involved in the oil industry that a 3rd unbiased party should be involved in making decisions that effect us all. Imagine the two head managers fighting over a decision, but the decision ultimately coming down to someone that has no ties to the bottom line. The US Govt is really on a role lately. Go Team!!!!

Titanic
I couldn't help but think of the Titanic watching the 60 minutes program on the oil disaster. The company pressured the captain to go faster and ignore the warnings. They said she could never sink.
Transocean's Deep Horizon rig was bigger, faster and set a record for the deepest drilling operation in history. They said that this couldn't happen. It has happened and just like all the lives lost from the Titanic this makes me real sad.

The worst is yet to come
Sorry I wish I could bring better news. Where are we going with this mess?
KEY WEST (AP) -- The U.S. Coast Guard says 20 tar balls have been found off Key West, but the agency stopped short of saying whether they came from a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Some 5 million gallons of crude has spewed into the Gulf and tar balls have been washing ashore in several states along the coast. Scientists are worried that oil is getting caught in a major ocean current that could carry it through the Florida Keys and up the East

On one hand, I wished I hadn't watched 60 minutes... as now my oil-anxiety levels are even higher! But on the other hand, I'm really glad I now understand the big picture and how bad BP F*&%#D this whole thing up.
Thought the live video of the explosion was amazing. Go figure that 4 guys were fishing under the rig! LOL! They are lucky to have gotten away from the rig before it blew! Let's hope they can stop the flow soon! Very soon! And I hope we don't see anything worse than tarballs.

A little bit of good news:
KEY WEST (AP) -- The Coast Guard says the tar balls found off Key West aren't linked to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. A report released Wednesday says tests show the tar balls don't match the type of oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill. The source of the tar balls isn't known. Tar balls can occur naturally or come from other sources such as ships. Twenty were found Monday and several others Tuesday. Government scientists who surveyed the Gulf on Tuesday said tendrils of light oil were near or already in a powerful current that could take it to Florida. The loop current circulates in the Gulf and takes water south to the Florida Keys and the Gulf Stream. But most oil remains dozens of miles away from the current.
