Even the efforts of the people who help, often voluntarily without getting money, is only of limited use as much of the disastrous results cannot be amended with work or money.

Yesterday I heard on German public Television of some really nutty sounding plans for the situation that are now considered. It tells me that they are really desperate and lets me even doubt that the proposed long term solution they planned for the next two months (by drilling a second hole) will work at all. I mean, if they plan to drop "tires and golf balls" into the well as a measurement and even consider the "russian method" of exploding a nuclear bomb underwater - this tells you what the situation is, yes?

This entire situation is sooo scary for me. I really don't think they have a clue when they will be able to stop the leak. I'm sure they are confident that they will find a solution.... The problem is when? Things are looking soo very bad for the wild life and economy in the near bye areas... This is sooo bad.. *cry*
