Today, my thoughts are more on the oil. Matters not to me if it is Bob's beach, Bill's beach, or we the people's beach.....and area waters. Today, it is getting screwed up. Only those of us who drive anything with a motor in or on it support indirectly the oil industry. Even the sail boats...indirectly thru raw materials support the oil industry. So, we need those rigs. How many of us have enjoyed some of the best fishing...Yes... right around the rigs.
Just seems to me, that with the "probability" of this happening thru human error, or "Stuff Happens".... that some type of flexible tubing with some type of large hose clamp should be able to be slid over the broken pipe end (clean cut it if needed) and then a hose attached and pump what ever comes out, good or bad oil/water mix....into some tanker rather than just letting the pipe spit out gallons of "stuff" a day. Just my take on this, 9 Days out from the start of this mess.
