Part of the original article.................
(June 4) -- A man helplessly tries to stop a convoy of tanks with his body. Three firefighters raise an American flag in the rubble of the World Trade Center. A turtle-necked hippie places a carnation in the barrel of a rifle during a Vietnam War protest.
You can never predict when a single photograph will transcend that day's front page and become an icon of an era. You just know it when it does. And in the case of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, that picture arrived Thursday.

they gotta have some type of emergency shut off valve.
either way if they were allowed to drill closer to shore capping off a broken line wouldn't be as difficult, only robots can go that deep (1000+ ft vs off shore 100+ ft).

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

Sad picture. BP should have had an emergency backup plan, hopefully Obama doesn't stop offshore drilling and just regulates it better. No corrupt people getting free gifts for not doing their job.

This would have been alot easier if it wasn't so far out and so deep.... But not saying that's any excuse for the ball being dropped by BP and the Obama administration.

There are tons of wells close to shore. All those gray dots on the map are oil platforms. You have to go farther out to tap into reserves that still have oil in them.
