“A crew capable of capping the well is expected onsite later this afternoon.” That was the story on the Barataria Bay oil spill yesterday.
This morning, the story from the spill, which is now up to about a million barrels, is that it will take between 10 to 12 days to stop the oil spill. After everything that’s been learned, and all the promises from the oil industry that they’ve improved their response time, it’s still a week and a half before a well that’s in shallow water close to shore can be capped.
What will the story be tomorrow?
