From Spill-cam chat (they're as bad as we are):

Welcome to the 'wkrg_oil_spill' room.
clearcloud9: oh?
Corexit: that's what they are trying to keep from the general public
badt: so.... that's not normal?
Corexit: No
Corexit: It means that the entire structure on which the bop sits, is damaged
Corexit: It could rupture easily
clearcloud9: so you say alternative enegy may be the salution
Corexit: That's why they are not capping the oil
Corexit: The pressure would blow up the seabed
Corexit: And oil would gush out like you've never seen
clearcloud9: oh...I thought they was just stupid
Corexit: Planetary Scale
Corexit: That too
badt: oil's escaping the borehole way down going sideways and then up?
Corexit: I guess
Corexit: I'm gonna have to close
Corexit: bbl
Corexit: Cheers
