He's basing his claims on GPS data which doesn't work underwater, certainly not at 5000'.

Something unexpected must have happened down there. Didn't see it happen, but the cap on the BOP has been removed this morning. Last night it looked like it was experiencing an ugly and rapid incrustation of frozen methane.
Wow! I just took a look at the ROV feeds and I see that the top cap is gone. Oil is gushing out the cut riser full force. Does anyone know what is going on?

Raining oil!
If you thought you were safe if you were inland, think again.

Oil gushing at spill site after vent damaged Cap removed after robotic sub hits vent; two deaths in response effort
breaking news NBC News and news services updated 9:16 a.m. PT, Wed., June 23, 2010
WASHINGTON - Oil was again gushing uncontrollably from the BP spill site on Wednesday after the company was forced to remove the containment cap when a robotic submarine hit a vent. The news came as officials also reported two deaths in the response effort.
BP hoped to reinstall the cap later Wednesday after fixing the vent and checking for safety.

I'm not buying that. I've seen that many times, oil on a street. Most likely it's oil that drained out of some leaky old car. People are panicking.
Hurricanes, though, will indeed hurl the oil many miles inland.

Looking at that thing, I just can't fathom what can be done at this point. It looks impossible. Humanity's feeble technology against the full force of Mother Earth.
Dunno, if this has been posted upthread yet or not, but I ran across this. Some prophecy from 1903 or something. Haven't had the chance to read it yet though.

They need to figure out how to burn it as it comes out of the well. Add some oxygen down there, light it up somehow .....
Hm, then again this might just turn the whole gulf into one big boiling stew pot. Never mind ....
I don't think this thing is gonna ever stop until the oil runs out.
Time to get off the toxic teat.
This is like one of those moments in any addicts life where you realize you'd better change your behavior or else you're gonna end up dead.
What are those moments called? I'm still drinking my coffee ....
