Do not be surprised to find that there are several leaks in several different areas, the integrity of the structure itself is on the verge of collapse which would make the gushing substantially larger, predictions will continue to get much much worse for quite some time, it will go on for years, by then the right-wing of the country will be on Big Oil's side and make dreadful claims like Obama did it/BP is the victim/this is proof that we need more offshore drilling and deregulation, and Barry O will fail to seize the opportunity to make substantial change.
