NEW ORLEANS - Engineers reattached a cap on the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico late Wednesday night after crude oil spewed uncontrolled into the water for much of the day.
A crew member aboard the Discoverer Enterprise, the ship that has been siphoning oil, told The Associated Press that the cap was placed back on the gusher around 9 p.m. EDT on Wednesday and is again capturing some of the crude. It had been off for more than 11 hours.
Earlier Wednesday, engineers had to completely uncap the broken well after an undersea robot bumped into machinery being used to collect the spilled fuel. Hundreds of thousands of gallons more poured into the water as crews scrambled to replace a critical component.
Swimming Advisory
Thick pools of oil from the spill in the Gulf of Mexico washed up along miles of Pensacola Beach Wednesday, prompting health officials to issue an advisory against swimming in the water. Dozens of workers used shovels Wednesday to scoop up the oil and orange-tinged sand. There were a few sunbathers at the beach. Tar balls have been reported as far west as Panama City and heavier oil is predicted to wash ashore farther east along the coastline in the coming days.
Another New Pot of Soup is Stirring.....
In the world of disaster support, there are rumors stirring. FEMA has been quietly lurking around the kitchen. One source stated... "it's confidential... somethings about to change".
Well, I say, get that big spoon and stir away. We are ready for a big bowl of soup!!
ps. Toaka says..... "Soup?? Ah yes! Now you're talkin' ."
