Oil Spill

     At this time, all efforts to stop the widening oil spill have failed. The recent attempt to "syphon"
the oil failed because ice formed on the contraption effectively blocking the funnel of the syphon.
This kind of operation had never been attempted before. Regardless, BP engineers didn't count
on ice at such a depth. It's rather foolish to think ice could form in waters at 33 degrees Fahrenheit,
isn't it?
      Efforts to break the spill up with chemicals are faring better. However, this is only treating
the symptoms not the disease. However, the side effects of these chemicals are not known at this time.
It's moved since this picture.
The barrier islands off the coast of Louisiana
 are the first to feel the oil spills
waves of death.
