NEW ORLEANS – Marine scientists have discovered a massive new plume of what they believe to be oil deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico, stretching 22 miles (35 kilometers) from the leaking wellhead northeast toward Mobile Bay, Alabama.
The discovery by researchers on the University of South Florida College of Marine Science's Weatherbird II vessel is the second significant undersea plume recorded since the Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20.
The thick plume was detected just beneath the surface down to about 3,300 feet (1,000 meters), and is more than 6 miles (9.6 kilometers) wide, said David Hollander, associate professor of chemical oceanography at the school.
Hollander said the team detected the thickest amount of hydrocarbons, likely from the oil spewing from the blown out well, at about 1,300 feet (nearly 400 meters) in the same spot on two separate days this week.
The first such plume detected by scientists stretched from the well southwest toward the open sea, but this new undersea oil cloud is headed miles inland into shallower waters where many fish and other species reproduce.........

Try harder, Daddy!
Haha... what?
Plug the damn thing. OK, that’s that. Where was I? Oh yea, so about Lebron James...
A Louisiana State University researcher who has studied their effects on marine life said that by breaking oil into small particles, surfactants make it easier for fish and other animals to soak up the oil’s toxic chemicals. That can impair the animals’ immune systems and cause reproductive problems.....
Well...I don’t know but this tragedy sure sounds like what the Bible would say would happen to the Oceans in the Last Days...
Revelation 8:9
And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
He really is a usurper and is pushing for a violent reaction in order to criminalize dissent and nationalize more industries.
May God deliver us from this evil bastard and his comrades in Congress.
This is starting to sound like some Grade B Horror movie!!
I’m just looking for the DeepWaterGate truthers
that think BP did this on purpose to give o’Zer0
the crisis he needed to stop oil exploration in
Alaska and then give the renamed French company
Petrol Brit Isch the worldwide corner on oil

Yeahbut...what happens when the dissent keeps fading the heat, and fading the heat, and he keeps pushing harder, and pushing harder, and — finally, one day — he gets coaxed into pushing just a bit too hard, overreaches, and all that pent-up dissent explodes like a tactical nuke in the face of his little tin horn regime, and just annihilates it completely?
THEN what, huh? Is there anyone prepared to lead a people who WILL NOT stand for repressive dictatorship and socialist impositions; a people who, though exceedingly patient, will at last opt for the violent removal of those who attempt to force such chains upon them?
In the aftermath of a "nuclear" explosion of anti-dictatorial dissent, and violence that bodily sweeps repressive men (and women) from the halls of government, who has the stature to stand up and say, "Mission accomplished," such that the roused people will hear, believe, return to their homes peaceably, and restore the civilized order of their communities??
In a liars club, your would be disqualified.
I can see how it would kill sea creatures, but I'm not sure how it will destroy the ships. Perhaps fishing vessels, no more needed for that activity, will be dismantled.
That’s what I was thinking about the ships as well...
This isn’t the Revelation 8:9 event, but I do not doubt in the least that it could be judgment as a result of what Obama is doing with regard to Israel.

A Judgement..I agree....
Hurry! Someone inform EmperorObama right away so he can schedule some rounds of golf, a few games of basketball and then another lavish party where his wife can continue to wow us with her bare arms. He can check back in about 30 days to see if the problem has abated or if he needs to head out on a vacation...
And just think over 40% of the American public still give him a favorable rating.
Yup they’re out there, just getting their talking points together. Already hearing such rumblings.
