100,000 barrels a day equals 4,200,000 gallons a day. Since the complete Exxon Valdez spill was 11 million Gallons then to do the math it means that at 8,400,000 every two days it means that an Exxon Valdez spill is happening in the Gulf of Mexico about every 2 1/2 days.
So if 100,000 barrels a day has been going on from the beginning just multiply the days by 4,200,000 and then divide the total by 11 million and you get an idea how many Exxon Valdez spills are now in the Gulf. or I think it is now approximate 60 or so days so 60 times 4,200,000 gallons divided by 11 million equals (if I did this right) 22.9 Exxon Valdez spills approximately. Since the oil spill took place April 20th 2010 and since it is now an hour after midnight into June 21 then I believe 60 days is about right since there are 30 days in April and thirty days in June so that makes 31 in May. (30 days hath september, april, june and november all the rest have 31 except February.)
Even though this is a man made disaster it is now something else. I think the best way to view this is sort of as a man made accidental artesian oil volcano. It is possible that this could go on for many years. The reason for this is that any abrasive action of the oil on the walls of the oil well could continue to increase the size of the hole. If the metal was worn away from abrasion or if the oil goes around the outside of the metal pipe and if the size of the hole becomes too big and continues to increase in size it is possible by six months from now that this thing will not be stopped and have to be allowed to just play out until the oil pressure ends. The problem with that is that it is possible that the weight of the ocean is actually driving the oil out. So unless you could drain the ocean(isn't going to happen) that this will just continue to vent for about 100 years. But the problem with this is that most of the Atlantic Ocean would be covered with Oil and there might even be oil to some degree in all connecting oceans on earth.
So even though this is a man man disaster, the way to see it now is as a catastrophic event like a nuclear blast.
So, my question is: "Is this the next 9-11?"
"Did someone engineer this?"
"Is this meant only to appear to be an accident?"
"Is this some kind of economic attack?"
"What groups or Countries have the most economically to gain from this?"
"If someone engineered this find out who would most benefit in the short and long run."
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
