BP needs to plug it up, NOW!
It’s been the better part of a month and BP has yet to make any sort of headway in plugging the spew of oil into the gulf… It seems to me if these assholes can figure out how to tap 50 million barrells of oil 5000 feet below the sea and 13000 feet beneath the seabed, they should sure as hell be able to plug up a ~2ft diameter pipe. These guys shouldn’t be testifying in congress, not yet at least. They should be in deep diving scuba gear trying to plug that pipe and dealing with the pressure of being 5000 ft below sea level. That’ll teach ‘em to ignore the safety violations that caused the death of 11 of their riggers. Ok, I realize that is probably unfeasible considering the deepest dive any one has survived is a mere 1083 feet, but this is a disaster on so many levels and we’re all so frustrated and angry and ultimately helpless by all this. If we can put men on the moon and walk in space surely we can figure this out.
