They had a similar situation in the arabian gulf, super tankers were made to stay on site and help vaccum the crude.How many super tankers do we the US own? Ifthis gets worse, whats to stop BP from filing bankpubcy? How would that be handled?

Thats a very good point. What if BP decides it isnt worth it to clean up the mess they made and just go out of business,pack up their equipment and take off. What happens then? I heard something about this on my car radio yesterday that BP is saying if the American government expects them(BP) to pay about $70million for the damage and clean up that they cant afford that and will go out of business. So I can see that coming.

I hope they don't try that tactic. 70 million seems like a small figure to me...I just figured it would be more.
I do find it hard to believe that a figure like that could scare off a company that is so entrenched in our gubment's fuel and oil needs.
