Wrong. Burning would have only destroyed 30% at the most. This is light crude on rough seawater, not gasoline.
It's funny how the free market people scream for government to bail them out when things get out of hand.
I watched a little Hannity last night and could not believe my ears. He was actually blaming Obama for the mess.

He speculated. It is the oil company's responsibility to be prepared for disasters like this. Not the government job to babysit them.
Didn't the obama administration just authorize off shore drilling though?

US bans offshore drilling as Deepwater Horizon slick hits land - Times Online
I strongly support off-shore drilling, but I think this is a good idea. If we are going to do it, we should do it as safely as possible.
They know the plan will work because, and here's the important part....they've don this many times before with other wrecks of the same type.
.
Yes, by all means perform some research to be sure that this freak unusual accident does not happen again.
They don't have a clue if it will work or not. Where do you get your information?
(CNN) -- A four-story oil-containment dome is near the 5,000-foot-deep Gulf of Mexico seafloor, and BP workers are using remote-controlled craft to start placing it over a gushing wellhead, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The move to try to cap oil leaking from the sunken Deepwater Horizon rig started early Friday. This technique has never been tried at such a depth, and there are no guarantees it will work, said BP, which holds the license for the well.
"It's a technology first," BP CEO Tony Hayward told CNN's David Mattingly. "It works in [300] to 400 feet of water. But the pressures and temperatures are very different, so we cannot be confident that it will work."
There have been seven major oil well disasters in the last 33 years. That works out to less than one every five years (this does not include incidents of oil spills from tankers/ships). Not so "freak" after all.

But, when you compare that to the hundreds of thousands of wells that didn't blow out in the past 33 years, those are freak accidents.
Besides, you have to ask yourself how those blowouts happened.
I'm still not convinced that the Horizon blowout was an accident.
