OIL ADDICTION



The Oil Spill's Worst-Case Scenario?

The grim video feed of oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico got even worse on Wednesday after BP had to remove the containment cap because a robotic submarine collided with a vent.

Even before this setback to contain the massive flow of oil into the gulf, online speculation has fueled fears that the leaks could be much greater than what's been shown.
According to these theories, such leaks at the bottom—that is, below the sea floor—could present a new “worst-case scenario” for the disaster.
