Video is from Alabama resident John Wathen as a volunteer pilot flew him over the area where the oil rig sank. Officials have stopped guessing at the amount of oil leaking although some speculate it may be closer to 1 million gallons per day.

    • They're lying about the clean-up efforts. They aren't giving 110% of their time and effort to this. The truth of the matter is they don't know how to stop it. Everything they're doing is trial and error. They know the dispersants are toxic and that they're going to do more harm than good but they need to give the appearance of doing something until they can figure out how to stop this. What they're not admitting is that this part of the ocean is now dead, the coastline is now polluted and will be so for the next 100 -150 years. Help is being offered from the international community but it's not being accepted. Why? Why is that? Certain parts.....KEY pieces of information isn't being made public. Why is that? Some of the most brilliant scientific minds in the world are offering up counsel and options. But untested dispersants are what's being used? Why is that? FYI, this is going to affect more than just the gulf. The current will carry this mess until the entire continent feels the affects. The folks who live along that coast line should consider it a wrap and just count up their losses and leave. Life as they knew it is over.

    • This man is wanting to help with the Gulf Coast oil spill and cannot get anyone to return calls or emails. Why do they not give him a shot....everything else seems to be failing? Any ideas what he might do to get someone to at least listen to what he has to offer? At this point, what do they have to lose?

      Randy Oglesby: Mr President, At my cost I will move my machine to the gulf set it up and i will need a container to hold all the oil I can get which will be 99% of the area as a square mile, when you see it work then we talk. all this at my cost I will pay for everthing until I prove myself then we talk

    • I smell it, I hear the helicopters as they fly to and from placing huge sandbags, I see the military convoys with troops going to and from shore. It's like trying to clean 1000 pools with a Q-tip. It's depressing...the ocean has a gaping wound and blood is pouring out. At least with a storm and flood, we could dry out, clean up, and rebuild.

      I know. My feeling is that accidents like this are going to happen from time to time until we start moving away from using oil. We tend to blame one company or another, and that is all well and good, but really we are ALL using oil every day in petrol, plastics etc. They are filling huge demand. Our biggest challenge for the 21st C is to find and use alternatives instead of oil and coal.
