Some Bloggers have gone too far.
I do understand how devastating the situation is and the potential in the future could be even worse but read the attached blogger's comments. These types of blogs are appearing on the internet at an alarming pace, Can you imagine the image or the perception of people who has never been here? I think this blogger takes it a bit too far.

Now that the OJ Box designed to snuff the GUSHER is floating around in a buoyant sea of methane crystals, we are back to Plan C, which is the 3 month Plan to drill horizontally into the current gusher and cap it from below. Maybe it works, maybe not, but we have at least 3 months of PUKE spilling out from below the seabed into the GOM to deal with while they spend themselves on what could be just ANOTHER Epic Failure.
In order to keep this Gusher from becoming an Eyesore on the beaches, BP is spilling some kind of detergent into the sea to keep it all from making surface level. So instead of the spill going lateral across the surface, instead now its layering itself up through the column, with some of it clumping and hitting the sea bed where THANK GOD te Tourists will never see it! Sadly for the Fishies though, they will have to swim through it at virtually any depth at all, and filter all that Oil through their gills. Imagine yourself a Smoker who has to do ALL is breathing through a Marlboro. Even Chain Smokers get to take a few fresh air breaths between their puffs. NOT so for the Fishies. EVERY breath they take through their gills is loaded up with Carcinogens.
The GOM is going to be a complete DEAD ZONE for fishing here, and it is of course only a matter of time before the PUKE starts washing up on the Florida Beaches, and then saturates the Evergaldes. Because you know, there is only a limited amount of the “dispersant” chemicals (themselves derived from Oil) which BP can pump down toward the GUSHER. How much Tide do you think they have in storage? A Few 100s thousand Gallons maybe? Meanwhile the GUSHER produces probably 60,000 BARRELS a day here. They cannot pour detergent faster than this Oil Volcano can spit out the PUKE. They are gonna run out of detergent in a week or a month, and they STILL will not have capped this thing.
Then of course comes the WEATHER. Fairly calm seas and beneficent tides have kept most of the PUKE offshore so far. However, HURRICANE season is coming upon us, and its about statistically IMPOSSIBLE we won’t get at least one MAJOR Hurricane hitting the GOM this season. What is going to happen once this Detergent Emulsified SOUP of Oil and Sea Water gets stirred up by a decent size Hurricane?
Well, heavy Oil Polymers will not be evaporated at those temperatures, but the lighter ones will be. The rainwater will contain a percentage of hydrocarbons far greater than it normally does, which will rain down everywhere. Wave action will push large quantities of emulsified Oil-Water mixture onto beaches, the water will wash back out to sea, the clumps of Oil will STICK to the rocks and the sand. Coral and Oyster beds will be fouled for generations, there will be no shellfish that survive this in the GOM. They are filtering organisms and they are not designed to filter THAT much PUKE and still survive.
The SMELL in every community along the Gulf Coast will be like living inside a Refinery Tank. Mass migration away from shoreline communities from Mobile to Houston as people choke and vomit from the fumes.
Is this a worst case scenario? No it is not. Its just the most likely case based on what has gone down so far. The WORST CASE? This reservoir of Oil is SOOO vast it keeps spewing up the PUKE for 20 or 30 years, and takes out ALL the Oceans of the world in the same way. No indication yet of this slowing down, only increasing. No indication yet that the Bozo Engineers can design anything but Epic Fail solutions to the problem. Each day that goes by with no solution, we are one day closer to DEATH as a species. Its looking pretty ugly at the moment for the future of Life on Earth above the level of the Tardigrades.

Wow.....That person is a dumbass.

Damn.....and I thought otto was bad

Otto cites and defends the points of these kinds of blog posters.
Although in his defense, he seems to have laid off a lot of the practice in the past couple of days.

There is way too much stupid here to address

Wow, talk about doom and gloom.

A shark can smell blood in the water from a mile away but a fish cant detect crude oil in the water and just swims through it to his death
awesome
awesome

Blood is natural to a Shark, oil is not and a fish will not know better. If you think this is in any way not going to be catastrophic to any species around the Guld, you are simply to stupid to think rationally or you just don't want to know.
Guys, this is as bad as it can get in our gulf, and it is getting worse as we speak.

No, it isn't
Its up there, but its not the worse oil related scenario.
That is probably reserved by some tanker getting compromised within 100 miles of the shore.

It's funny to watch the differences in the reactions of people in the know (people actually working on economic and environmental impact studies) and the average person who listens to too much TV.
It could get worse, but as of right now, this isn't nearly as bad as anyone thinks.

Please provide a teaser and a link versus copying and pasting entire articles...thanks...
ie, please edit your post...

WTF ? This is likely do be the worst economic/environmental disaster ever.

I agree... I don't understand why people don't see the big picture of what is going on??

Me neither. Likely, It is the Rush Limbaugh mentality dumb down of our society.

No, it's the liberal snobbery that provides arrogance in ignorance.
You guys literally have no idea what's going on out there beyond what the media is pumping out, and I can tell you for a fact that all of it (on both sides) is shenanigans.

just a point and only a point! one can not smell natural gas and then what if this gas would turn out to be sour gas? do, any of you clowns have any idea what i'm saying here?

Take this FWIW, but I've done my best speck fishing underneath a giant oil sheen. They seemed to be doing just fine to me.

6 or 8 of those tanker breaking up, have happened, world wide, in the past generation, a few in the USA. Nantucket, Santa Barbara that I recall.

Ignorance and arrogance have zero boundaries and affect us all....cast the 1st stone if you dare.
