Oil Slick Growing
      Tue Apr 27 2010 12:14 PM

A great concern of mine is that we are witnessing the set up for an ecological disaster. What was 40 sq miles of oil slick has now become 48 miles long and 80 miles wide.
According to Coast Guard Petty Officer Erik Swanson.
They have not been able to secure the tap at the bottom of the Gulf floor 5000 feet below the surface, and 1000 gallons of oil is leaking into the Gulf Daily.
The Coast Guard is scrambling to protect the shores of LA, AL, FL, TX.
With an active storm season on the way, and thousands of gallons of oil floating around, I can't help but wonder the impact on the shores of the entire gulf coast.
