BLACK MAREE: OIL REACHES THE RATINGS

ENVIRONMENT NEWS - This time it is, the oil reaches the American coast, hitting the Mississippi Delta tonight. If the authorities continue to try to stem the ravages of this gigantic oil spill, specialists admit a certain helplessness. Especially since 800 000 liters continue to escape every day from the remains of the platform. The solution would be to build a huge bell above the site, but beyond the technical difficulties it will take weeks anyway before stemming the flow of oil. A major ecological disaster is therefore apparently inevitable today.
