The way I read it was its a possible number if the riser pipe goes. Ii could also be worse than that.

I think that number is purely speculation
No more speculation than the 5,000 barrel figure we currently have.
Basically, nobody has a freakin' clue.

Wherever this oil ends up noone really knows, but it would be much easier to clean up if it is on the beach than back in the marsh.

Bet those oil boom manufacturers are scrambling to ramp up production right now. Another disaster anywhere in the country would be crippling.

Folks, it's going to be okay.

Right. Most of it wil get cleaned and there wil be some left. No major damage and certainly not long lasting. Watch how it plays out.
You guys are behaving like the coast is about to be wiped off the map.

Your definition of "major" and "long lasting" are....?

don't worry it will be ok. Janet Naponlitano landed in Houma today and took a flight to see the oil slick.

"A flight" not even a helicopter ride or a boat ride.

HOUMA – President Obama's top security official flew into Houma Friday morning before being whisked away on a flight to see the path of the expanding oil spill in the Gulf.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's flight from Washington landed at the Houma Jet Center at the Houma-Terrebonne airport shortly after 9 a.m. She spoke briefly with Louisiana officials on the tarmac for a minute or two before climbing on board another flight to see the slick.
Also on the flight were Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry, U.S. Sens. Mary Landrieu and David Vitter of Louisiana and U.S. Reps. Charlie Melancon of Napoleonville and Joseph Cao of New Orleans.
Secret service officials said Napolitano wouldn't take questions.
Landrieu said the uncontrolled flow of the oil was “extremely serious and significant.”
She likened the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon last week to the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle.
“I do support the president's efforts to pause and review the situation with drilling in the Gulf until this investigation is completed and we understand what happened,” she said. “What we can't afford to do is retreat out of fear. We need to clearly understand what happened and put additional provisions in place.
We need to perfect the oil-and-gas industry.”

You are clearly out of touch with reality. If you don't know what happened in Santa Barbara in 1969, and if you haven't read about what happens to the eco-system or the economy, both in actual impact and psychological impact, you shouldn't be telling everyone to calm down.
