[ExI] Good article on the Deepwater Oil Spill.

Spike - I'm not an oilperson.  I was a staunch feminist in the 1970s and
broke through some gender barriers. One was to get the largest oil shipping
company in the US to hire me (they did not have women on the boats.)  I
travelled to several locations, not just the Gulf.  I wrote about my
experiences in some magazine, don't remember which one.  Was in one
hurricane which was a horribel experience but not really a worthy of a tale
to tell.  But what was more intersting than working in the Gulf, was my
utilizing the Merchant Marines as a way to travel on boats to Brazil so I
could get into the Amazon Jungle.  I performed a project titled "Green"
outside of Manhaus, when it was a little village, and before the big
industrialization of the Amazon. NOW, this is a worthy tale worth telling at
some point in time.  Bio is here (but it needs updating)

Indeed?  This is so cool Natasha!  I woulda never guessed you were an
oilperson.  Have you an online autobiography?

Ja this is a good explanation and a good source.  I check out the Oildrum
occasionally.  It's a good informative site, strictly moderated, balanced,
sane, on topic, seldom wacky.

Thanks Samantha.

I suppose this situation touches all of us and in different ways.  I was in
the Merchant Marines in the 70s and I worked with oil rings in the Gulf.  We
especially worked with cleaning up left over pipes after we moved a rig to a
new drilling site.  It was exceedingly dangerous work and when the hurricane
season hit, we had 30' swells and serious problems to overcome.

For understanding a bit more technically what happened and is going on this
is the best I have found so far.
