Gulf Disaster

In the latest harebrained scheme to stop the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a saw got stuck in a pipe of the busted oil well, which Coast guard Admiral Thad Allen says will delay containment efforts until Wednesday afternoon at the earliest. The sawing of the oil pipe—which will increase the overall oil flow by up to 20 percent—is in preparation for a plan to try to cap the well and then siphon its spillage to the surface, similar to a plan that failed months ago. Even if this plan eventually works, the flow will not stop altogether until August at the earliest.
