Undersea Gulf of Mexico Oil Gusher

An environmental disaster of mammoth proportions struck when an undersea oil well broke following an explosion. The challenge to contain the up-pour is the location, being more than a kilometer beneath ocean surface! That place is distant, cold and dark. With gooey oil spewing out in a roar, approach to cap the orifice shall require a custom engineering solution. Several attempts have been tried, with more or less success. Soon, however, some solution is going to work. But by then much of the stuff would have wormed its way along with waves in all compass directions, leaving disaster to fauna and flora in the water and shores it washes up on. fine thing to hear efforts by the likes of Kelvin Costner deploying machines that separates oil from water to salvage the oil while cleaning the seas. I bet someone, too, may come up with a beach-comber sort of machine that eats up oily sand, cleanses it, then spits it out on the beaches, white as satin sheet. Or licks clean the rocky shores without furthering ocean water pollution.

I've been thinking of where this crude is coming from with all that enormous pressure. It is quite possible the crude in crevices on oil-bearing rocks are kind of conjoined in one continuum, definitely no borders for countries or even continents. This oil off a hole in the gulf may be trickling from far-away lands, just like one would expect water coming from high point (inland oil rigs) to low point (rig tapping oil a kilometre below sea level). I therefore would not be surprised if shiploads of crude continues capturing crude from the damaged hole while, say, Gabon's oil reserves deplete mysteriously. This sounds like conspiracy theorist, hopefully nothing like that shall happen.
