Worst Engineering Disaster to Hit South East Louisiana in 4 & 1/2 Years

News of the "Deepwater Horizon" oil spill just keeps getting worse. BP has admitted the size of the leak was 5 times the volume were saying 2 days ago, and that they have no idea how to stop it from continuing to get worse.


Forget the word "spill."

"This isn't a spill," said Kerry St. Pe, who headed Louisiana's oil spill response team for 23 years. "This isn't a storage tank or a ship with a finite amount of oil that has boundaries. This is much, much worse."
