The largest eco-disaster in the history of the US and a massive undersea high tech response from BP. Remote operated vehicles manuever the top cap into position over the base of the well. BP’s share price has dropped another 16% in US trading among fears that President Obama will impose massive punitive penalties on the company.

Where are the environmental organisations when we need them? Why are corporate sell outs like abc news doing a better job at investigating this disaster than the very people so outraged by every environmental injustice? Go to Greenpeace International’s facebook page and ask these very questions. Bombard these aresholes until they do their fucking job! www.facebook.com A mile below the surface in the Gulf of Mexico, there is little sign of life. “It looks like everything’s dead,” University of Georgia professor Samantha Joye said. In an exclusive trip aboard the US Navy’s deep-ocean research submersible Alvin, ABC News was given the chance to observe the impact of this summer’s massive oil spill that most will never see. The ocean floor appears to be littered with twigs, but Joye points out that they are actually dead worms and that Alvin is sitting on top of what is considered an 80-square mile kill zone. Having taken nearly two dozen dives in the Gulf inside the tiny sub that helped discover the Titanic, Joye is leading a team of scientists who are investigating how much oily material is left on the sea floor. Aboard the Alvin Thursday, Joye said she saw “about three to four inches of material.” The devastation, she said, could last “years or decades.”
