Gulf Oil Spill Getting Worse? Seems So

And there could well be another leak nearby that had not been reported earlier. Likelihood that it can be "cleaned up" is next to nil - sad to say. Fishing industry in that part of the Gulf will be shut down for years. What will the impact be on migratory species - could be a deathblow for many. In short, BP has - by if sloppiness in pursuit of greed may well have killed the Gulf.

Don't know how they could really pay for what they have done and how much will we owe ourselves for allowing it to happen with out past votes and thrist for SUVs?

clipped from blog.skytruth.org BP / Gulf Oil Spill - Slick Getting Bigger? The COSMO-SkyMed radar image taken yesterday is somewhat ominous - it shows nearly all of the slick from the ongoing Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and at 4,922 square miles (12,748 km2) it's significantly larger than it appeared on May 13: And we think we've discovered an unrelated leak from a nearby platform that was installed back in 1984. The MMS ID# for this platform is 23051 (look it up here). A small, dark slick appears next to this platform on radar satellite images from April 26, May 8, and May 13 as well as this May 14 image. It's not a major leak but it may indicate a chronic problem. Somebody should check that out to make sure it doesn't get any worse.
