They **** up royally and then finally (hopefully) fix their mistake 37 days later, and for that they should be commended?

I honestly don't know why or how they put up with the **** government and the press keeps giving them, but I'm glad they do.

In other news, I don't understand why this oil spill is such a big deal. Didn't the Germans sink like, 30 tankers in the Gulf during WW2?
Yeah, they were smaller than modern tankers, but combined they certainly spilled more oil than this rig has. And yet, the Gulf is fine. There's so much marine wildlife in the Gulf that people get their jollies bitching about motorboats running over manatees.

Were all those tankers sunk simultaneously in the same location, less than 40 miles from shore? Were all of them even carrying oil at the time? Did their spills mostly remain on the surface, or did they originate on the ocean floor so that they could affect the entire water column?
