New, giant oil plume seen in Gulf chron.com By MATTHEW BROWN and JASON DEAREN Associated Press Writers May 27, 2010, 11:13AM NEW ORLEANS — Marine scientists have discovered a massive new plume of what they believe to be oil deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico, stretching 22 miles from the leaking wellhead northeast toward Mobile Bay, Alabama. The discovery by researchers on the University of South Florida College of Marine Science's Weatherbird II vessel is the second significant undersea plume recorded since the Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20. David Hollander, associate professor of chemical oceanography at the school, says the thick plume was detected just beneath the surface down to about 3,300 feet. He says it's more than 6 miles wide. Scientists say they are worried the undersea plumes may be from chemical dispersants used to break up the oil a mile under the surface.

re:::.."" Hope they have enough and heavy enough mud on hand and the pumps and everything else holds out until it is killed.."" When I came in from the trail, I heard the "top kill" was suspended.. I wondered wtf is going on.. Now, I just heard on CNN, the guy said he thinks "they ran out of mud".. WTF, is this the Bushy Face and Stumble Foot Oil company running this operation?? Sheesh.. Can't they buy a 5.00 hand held calculator and figure out flow rates versus time.. Plus order up another sack of barite to keep on stand by.. Cheap Basturds.. Maybe go gather up some dried horse sheet on land for lost circulation material.. We had to do that one time.. Although Lost circ material won't do squat here.. Just being sarcastic.. Seriously, they should have had barges lined up clean to NO loaded with mud.. It's far past time for Obama to put somebody that knows something and CARES about stopping it in charge..
