Well, from what I understand Cameron is a real bear to work with :p2:

Even before Cameron offered up help BP declined help from others.

I don't. He wants to make documentary I'm sure. I can see it now...."I'm king of the pump!" And the opening song..."My Pump Will Go On."

Tater - they have to dig way out to see because the environmentalists won't allow them to work "offshore" - where its alot shallower and easier to reach. Sure, the same thing could happen - but at 500 feet its alot easier to deal with than at 5000....

In many ways - environmentalists own a share of the blame here - but you will never see em accept it.

There's also the issue of the people who died and those that survived.

Oil Rig Survivor.

I could have taken that many photos of roadkill on Friday along a 70 mile stretch of US 64. Those birds are lucky not to be four-legged creatures living along a busy road.

I'd imagine most roadkill deaths are relatively quick and painless, and don't involve hours of struggling to move and breathe while covered in oil, before eventually dying.
