Guard watches coast for oil slick's first wave

[over the mountain]

The idea that BP isnt doing everything in its power to stop the underwater oil eruption just flies in the face of reason and logic. If BP makes money off oil, why would they sit idlely by and allow billions (im guessing but the value of the oil lost will probably be in the billions) of dollars float away?

this disaster is a huge nightmare for BP. im guessing when this is all said and done, they will merge with another company and change their name.

Because its one mile beneath the sea. You act like corporations maek decisons based on logic. theya re steady trying to suck that oil up think about every attempt so far. No attempt to block the well just attempts to siphon.

What has BP or the gov't said in response to this? is there a good reason why they wouldnt want to try and block the hole? idk but maybe blocking the hole could make things worse.

i not nearly as up to date on this, but has anyone heard or read a reason why, so far, the curative attempts dont include blocking the leak?

ill look it up.
