May 21, 1956: Bikini Is Da Bomb and Oil giant BP concedes Gulf spill is bigger than estimated

#1
This is talking about how the United States delivered a hydrogen bomb from the air in 1956. Also the then drop it on a small island group known as the Bikini Atoll. Also it went 4 miles instead of just the mile target. It seems inconceivable now, but there was a time when hydrogen bombs were routinely tested right out in the open — monstrously menacing mushroom clouds, radioactive shroud and all. After a while tests were driven underground and, under a series of treaties which began in 1963.
I thought that this was a great artlice and that i learned more then i knew.

This is talking aobut the oil spill that bp had. The experts are saying that Proegler said the figure has always been just an estimate because there is no way to measure how much is spilling from the well.Tentacles of the oil spill were seeping Thursday into Louisiana's lower marshes.
Some of the crude seeped into the Loop Current, a fast-moving current south of the well that could swing the oil east toward Florida's coastline, said Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But she said only a small amount of oil is entering the current and will likely break down by the time it nears Florida."The bulk of the oil on the surface is still far away from the Loop Current," she said.Crews have been struggling for nearly a month to cap the well that began gushing oil following last month's explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig about 50 miles offshore. The downing of the rig killed 11 workers and sparked an ecological emergency in the Gulf.Oil pushing into marshes ratchets up the urgency and marks the start of a complex cleanup effort, said Kurt Fromherz, a spokesman for Plaquemines Parish, who toured the oily marshes with parish leaders and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal Pond-size sheets of oil, some of them coal-black, others bright orange or red, have wrapped around the roseau cane and other marsh features near the mouth of the Mississippi River, Fromherz said. Tar balls also washed ashore 25 miles to the west in Grand Isle."The oil is no longer just a projection or miles from our shore," Jindal said in a statement. "The oil is here. It is on our shores and in our marsh."Engineers on Sunday or Monday will attempt to pump mud into a massive device sitting over the well and choke off the flow of oil, BP spokesman John Curry said. "We are making progress." I thought that this article was good but can use more information.
