People's Network on April 29 electric current, located in the southern U.S. Gulf of Mexico's "Deep Horizon" rig explosion caused by the oil spill has created an up to more than 100 kilometers of the pollution belt. U.S. Coast Guard on the 28th said they have begun to use the "slow fire" light leak into the oil slick to reduce accidents of this pollution on the marine environment(coach outlet).

It is reported that 11 workers are still a serious accident because of this missing. As the leakage point in the seabed 1,600 meters deep, "plugging" can not work effectively. U.S. Coast Guard will use a special oil sea boat "driven" to a secluded between them ignited. Throughout the process, the large oil will be divided into several small pieces were to be lit.

It is reported that the ignition of this action in a "small scale" and "controlled" status. Each ignition combustion operation will last about an hour, but residents of the shore during the discovery will not allow fireworks. The owner of the well, the British BP, the company said the number of years for the control of the rare leak, it spent millions of dollars every day.

Rescue workers(cheap coach bags) said that although the wells occurred in 22 oil spills resulting explosion of small thickness, but the amount is large (more than 190,000 liters per day of crude oil poured forth) may still be on the Gulf Coast of the various types of marine life have serious implications. In addition, the strong wind may accelerate the steady spread of pollutants along the ocean currents.

BP said it leaked oil in the fire, while a remote control of pumps are underwater, hoping to block leakage points through pressure changes, and the other side intends to drill oil wells in the accident in order to slow down the speed of oil on the Bay.

United States, the most serious oil spill(coach handbags) in history occurred in March 1989, when the United States Exxon "Valdez" oil tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, resulting in about 41.6 million liters of crude oil leak was a serious local pollution, salmon and herring resource is close to extinction, dozens of companies went bankrupt or the brink of collapse.

Cost of more than 600 million U.S. dollars in the "Deep Horizon" drilling platform in Louisiana, Plaquemines County, 84 km southeast of office. It is 121 meters long, 78 meters wide, almost the size of two football fields, up to 130 workers operating in 2001, built by the Hyundai Group, after the operation, drilling depth of 9144 meters, the world's most advanced drilling platforms .

Information, Newfoundland, Canada had a "fire" way to clean up the oil spill on the sea. U.S. officials said, although the air pollution produced by combustion of oil will affect the environment, but the risk of such controllable than rig burning fire explosion hazards arising from much smaller.
