[ale] BP knew of problems 11 months before the rig blew

[Greg Freemyer]

I saw a really crazy worst case post to the effect:

The dispersant BP spread is deadly to plants and micro-organisms such
as bacteria.  It's just below the surface all around the gulf.  A
hurricane picks it up and spreads it across the entire eastern coast
wiping out all life from the bottom-up and the entire east coast
becomes a dead zone!

Somehow, I have as much trouble believing this as what XKCD had to say.

fyi: Even they said the dispersant is supposedly only deadly for 28
days.  If so, and we live through June, we're golden!  :)
