Hi Suzanne & All, May 25, 2010
Working at 1.5 km with complications of murky water and methane ice don't make it easy but I get the impression that the engineers involved either lack both imagination and know-how or they have been told (quietly) to not try too hard; from a BP standpoint, compensation to the few who get past the lawyers may cost less than containment.
This may be incorrect, but dispersing the oil with wetting agents would (to me) logically increase toxicity by increasing the water/oil contact surface. So I wonder. Does use of dispersants mean that toxicity is not increased or does it mean that the problem (as viewed superficially) seems to be lessened ?
This event may stall or slow deep oil activity.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

Is anyone getting mad enough yet to march on Washington, London, and BP to get off the red tape and go suck up the mess? I don't even see anything about it in the paper today. It's like it's not important enough?
