BP made some progress today cutting a damaged pipe that was leaking oil. Now it will try, once again, to cap the well. U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen called today's developments a "significant step forward," but the situation remained volatile.

I can't believe that in all the top Universities in US their not engineer who can't figure out how to fix this pipe????
I live in Hattiesburg, MS, which is about an hour north of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It has been a privilege to live so close to the coast and to be able to enjoy the best seafood in the world. There is something special about Gulf seafood. I am disgusted and appalled at the lack of concern for our coast, as well as the wildlife. Why hasn't BP started a significant clean up effort? What are they waiting for? Where is PETA? How long will it be before someone cares about Mississippi?
The rules governing deep-water drilling were apparently not adequate. How long have those rules been in place, and when were they last reviewed?
Will the contaminated water in the Gulf eventually pollute the rest of the worlds water?
