Reading A volcano of oil erupting (http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-8199-Breakthrough-Energy-Examiner~y2010m5d13-A-volcano-of-oil-erupting), I got to the link for Leaked report: Government fears Deepwater Horizon well could become unchecked gusher (http://blog.al.com/live/2010/04/deepwater_horizon_secret_memo.html). I thought I was terrified before I got to that link. I had no idea what terror really is until I read the linked article. We are well and truly screwed, though just how much worse it will get is anyone's guess at this point. It was those vast sheets of red crud spread far across the waters of the Gulf that got to me most, though the idea that somebody might try shutting off that gusher of oil with a nuke is right up there with it. God help us all, because I don't think anyone else can.
