I also read somewhere this morning that worst case scenario it could take up to 90 days to cap the oil geyser. This thing is going to devastate industries along the gulf coasts.

The cleanup is going to take years.

I can't even imagine how much damage it will cause if it takes that long to get it capped. Unbelievable.
