BP, a company with a terrible environmental record, and a company that cut corners on safety causing this entire mess that's turned into the largest oil spill in history, killing huge numbers of wild life and destroying the livelihoods of people who rely on the gulf...this company deserves to be commended? You're sick. I think they should be booted out of the country.

BP is partly American.

News ticker on TV this morning said that it could be as late as August before any headway is made on capping the damn thing. What was the estimate, around 2 million gallons of oil leaking out per day? That'll be around 180 million gallons by then, on top of what's already floating around out there.

Wouldn't do any good. They'd pollute someone else's shores. Hell, on the other hand, exile them to the Persian Gulf. Let 'em stink up Iran's shores for a few years and give those bastards a real reason to hate Western culture.

If anything, at least the industry will learn from this experience how to cap a blown pipe in deep waters. It's obvious that they had no contigency plan to cover "what if the blowout preventer fails?". Who would have suspected that it would happen?

^^ That's just what is visible on the surface. Apparently there is a very large volume lurking in the depths, as well.

And it's much bigger now, saw another picture of it on Friday I think but couldn't find it now that I searched for it.
