OIl spill in the Gulf - - It happened before

You have got to watch this news clip!

Did you know that there was a massive oil spill in the Gulf, from an exploding oil rig, that occurred in 1979? Everything is exactly the same as what is happening right now. All of the techniques being used right now to stop the oil leak were tried in 1979 and all failed, as they are doing now. It is depressing to think that thirty-one years after a massive oil spill the oil companies have not improved one bit in formulating techniques and plans to avert this disaster. Oh, in 1979 they finally got the leak sealed off by drilling a relief well, only it took them nine months to get this relief well drilled and shut down the escaping oil. It sure looks like we are in for hard time that will last long into the future.
