Update on Oil Spill from The Frontlines
GRAND ISLE, La. - Jefferson Parish Emergency managers say they have commandeered all of BP's hired boats in Grand Isle.
A representative for Jefferson Parish Emergency chief Deano Bonano said they requested immediate action after oil moved into the marsh passes and onto the beaches in Grand Isle. He said more than 40 boats were sitting idle while he watched the oil rush into the passes. At around 5:30 p.m., Jefferson Councilman Chris Roberts confirmed the boats have been commandeered by JP emergency managers At this point you are going to see Cajuns taking matters into their own hands....we may end up succeeding from the Union if this gets worse.... Here are pictures..

Good for them. I was hoping that this would be somewhat contained but this is just getting more and more out of hand and I shudder to think of the possible long term ramifications.
A live view of the leak. 5000 barrels a day my but according to BP the amount of the leak is irrelevant. http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/l...tream/3&hpt=T1
