Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser said this morning that a recent flyover showed areas where oily water was lapping over the boom set out to contain the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Also, he said, because of the rough weather in the Gulf, some of the boom appeared to have broken free and washed onto an area beach and other boom appeared to have sunk, he said.
"It's not keeping the oil out,'' Nungesser said. "And it's only going to get worse before it gets better.'
Thank god we've got "15,000 miles" of this stuff hanging around to protect ourselves with. I'll go back to remaining calm just like BP flack Mary Landrieu told me to do.
The good news is five years from now, we'll all get to watch this again on HBO. I guess we could line up a few disaster tours via airboat or something as well.
