    BP just doesn't want to give this thing up...still likely trying every way possible to salvage it to still be able to collect on the oil...

    I am close to believing that this is the only option left:

    That's an old bomb. Here are the specs on the latest design. Although, I think it should be tested on Washington D.C. first.

    B83 Characteristics
    Available Yields: Low Kiloton Range/ 1200 Kilotons
    Weight: 2408 lb
    Length: 12 ft
    Body Diameter: 18 in

    If the US is forced to detonate a nuclear weapon on its own shores to prevent an apocalyptic disaster, BP is going to zero.

    What worries me is, is it too late if the apocalypse happens, or is the nuke option still available if say the gulf seabed collapses? If not, we are gambling with the complete and utter destruction of the gulf, and I say light her up now.

    It's so friggin obvious no one knows what the fuck is really going on.

  7. "Given the current observations from the test, including the detected seep a distance from the well and undetermined anomalies at the well head, monitoring of the seabed is of paramount importance during the test period," the official added.

    Experts say this could mean more leaks are being sprung.

  8. It's late, and I don't really care about BP, but has Oprah talked about this mess yet? When its on Oprah, BP will be a buy.

  9. When you mentioned Oprah, I thought, hmnnnn where's the race card in this oil spill.

    "The NAACP has sent a letter to BP expressing concerns that minorities helping to clean up after the massive oil spill tend to be assigned tougher, lower paying jobs than whites."
