    The morning paper says 11 still missing. Seas calm and ideal for searching.

    :lol:

    yeah you are right though, i can't imagine what it must be like to lose a family member like this. Well, i guess losing one in any way shape or form sucks, this is tragic.

    i forgot that was today.

    and i am asking because of not only environmental implications, but the financial impact that an environmental disaster from it would have. both would hurt the state.

    Up until the time the rig sank, they were saying minimal environmental impact. That will probably change now.

    If BP is able to shut in the subsea head the flow of oil will stop
