This has earmarks of probably the worst ecological disaster on record..

The entire Gulf Coast, and the Atlantic Coast will probably be affected.. all wildlife.. fisheries.. depending on current...

It'll take them another 8 days to assemble the 'box' they are supposed to drop on top of it.. here's the latest status in the news tonight:
The first of two domes to contain the crude at the sea floor will be put on one of three leaks in six to eight days, BP said. The second dome will take eight to 12 days. A valve, which the company said may be in place in 24 hours, will be tried on the most significant leak.

So very sad... shrimp, oyster, turtles, birds, countless fish, all marsh creatures, lobster if the currents take it along the coast (hopefully a worst case scenario)
