Photo gallery: Aerial photos of oil and gas flaring at Deepwater Horizon site

Edited on Fri Jun-18-10 03:38 PM by Barrett808

June 18, 2010 � The fight to contain the oil and gas spewing into the Gulf of Mexico goes on. While much of the news focus over the last few days has been on Washington, D.C. and BP executives meeting with the President and testifying before Congress, the oil continues to flow from the Deepwater Horizon ruptured wellhead. Oil and gas are being brought to the surface by the containment cap, the oil is being off-loaded and gas is being burned. Now, both oil and gas are being burned off after being captured by the reverse use of the top kill procedure apparatus. But, thousands of barrels still pour into the Gulf a mile below the surface.

1. I remember when the Cuyahoga River catching fire was a big deal

Now we have the entire Gulf of Fubar on fire.
