Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Disaster |
 |
We must find a way to stop or contain the millions of gallons of crude oil gushing into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Please add your ideas to help deal with the flow of oil, or the massive clean up that will be required.
According to a leaked report, "Two additional release points were found today in the tangled riser. If the riser pipe deteriorates further, the flow could become unchecked resulting in a release volume an order of magnitude higher than previously thought."
