Perhaps the President will get a second chance to make a first impression…If the report is accurate, a 100 mile sheen would be very serious.
“A possible massive oil sheen is being investigated by the US Coast Guard. The report comes from 20 miles north of the site of last April’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion. A press release sent Saturday night stated that the Coast Guard confirmed there was a “substance in the water,” yet have not determined what that substance is.
Paul Barnard, operations controller for Coast Guard Sector New Orleans, stated that investigators were following up on two calls to the National Response Center. The calls indicated that a potential oil or chemical spill had occurred in the area.
The Matterhorn well site, 20 miles north of the BP Deepwater Horizon site is being investigated. The Matterhorn field includes a deepwater drilling platform owned by W&T Technology.
A pilot, flying over the reported area, stated that the sheen about a half-mile and a half-mile wide could be seen from the air. Another report stated that a much larger sheen, approximately 100 miles long, could be seen. The larger of the two points of interest was spotted Saturday off Grand Isle, Louisiana by pilot Bonny Schumaker.”

That’d be just what the world needs… the “fractured sea floor” theories from last year being proven right.
I liked the old news format a lot better. Not the newsbot, but when we could see who posted the news and the news page looked like a part of ibc and not a diff site. Few days ago version…
Jeremy will stroke out on your comment.
Lol. The concept here is good, be a “go-to” for people trying to figure out why futures are up 17 or why the market just dumped by 10 points at 2 pm. I bet tonight 5 million people will get online to try to figure out the “why” of a futures move. This format is strange, though, imo.
I am dreaming here, but a front a center “futures tracker” or after hours would save me trips to bloomberg 10x a night.
This is better. People keep missing the main site link at the bottom tho.
Hopefully there is a chance that this is a sort of twisted “wishful thinking” from an enviroquack.
Still a work in progress. I started coding this thing up yesterday. I probably should have waited until it was done, but I was eager to get something out there immediately.
