An oil sheen has moved to within nine miles of Pensacola’s white beaches and could reach shore within a day.
Booms were being spread Tuesday to protect Florida from being the fourth state to be ravaged from the BP Deepwater Horizon gusher which is pouring up to one million gallons of oil per day. Already, Mississippi and Alabama shores have been contaminated and 125 miles of Louisiana fouled from the oil which threatens to jet around the Keys and up the East Coast.
The Justice Department announced it will conduct a probe into the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history and prosecute those found to be criminally responsible.
BP said it may be at least August before intervention wells being drilled will stop the gusher. Until then, the company is deploying underwater robots to cut and cap the riser pipe nearly a mile under the sea. That procedure could actually increase the flow by 20 percent until the procedure is completed over several days.
