Many of Sharky&Sharky's friends and pals and associated general ne'er do wells have also referred to this busted oil riser as the cause of an oil spill. It is Sharky&Sharky's duty to correct this language abuse. There is nothing spilling here. When a drink glass is knocked over it spills it's contents; it does not spew or gush. The Exxon Valdez was a oil spill, big but yet a spill. It simply spilled its contents into Prudhoe bay.
Some have called the Deep Water Horizon situation an oil leak. A car has an oil leak. The garage floor gets a big stain. This is not a big stain
Others have called it a gusher. This is not a gusher. Old Faithful gushes every now and then. Here is couple of minutes of that gusher:
Sharky&Sharky insist that the BP situation be called the Deepwater Horizon oil main break akin to a city's water main break. You are familair with the situation in which a city's water main breaks and the water just keeps on coming. We do not say "oh there was a water spill or water leak over on main street". No, we say that there was a water main break. Everyone gets tuned into the severity right away. Here for example, KTLA in Los Angelos reports a recent water main beak:
SANTA MONICA -- Pacific Coast Highway is open once again after being shut down for several hours Thursday morning due to a water main break caused by a suspected drunk driver.
The incident in the 1100 block of PCH was reported just after 12:30 a.m., according to Santa Monica fire officials.
It all started as a traffic collision involving a suspected drunk driver. The impact of the collision caused the pipe to burst, sending a huge geyser into the air.
Water and mud covered the roadway, forcing it to be shut down in both directions between the California Incline and the McClureTunnel.
Or! is someone trying to have us think that this is only a spill.
