Its an epic disaster though!  |
Yes indeed, it's as sad a it gets...we've more than likely past the 2 million barrels (318 Million litres) mark by now.
The well can leak at this rate for 2-4 years...if they can't stop it with the bypass wells, but that's 1-2 months away...sterilising it with a Nuke may be the best option...it's death for the southern states though.
