Guys, this thing has got me sick, boycotting is the immediate response, but as many have said these stations are not necessarily carrying their own brand. The real issue for me is the lack of a emergency response, these companies understand the ramifications of an error like this, they should have had every emergency scenario ironed out before they put a hole in the mud. It was only a matter of time before this happened.
I am thinking they likely could have closed it up right away but for the sake of losing the well and the associated investment they thought they could salvage it, hence the delay in the response and lack of media coverage in the first two weeks.
Now my biggest fear is that while this underwater volcanoe is gushing it's wallowing/compromising the surrounding area of the ocean flow, which if it fails God only knows how they will stop it from flowing!!!
