Oil Spill In the Gulf of Mexico

A few interesting questions lurk.....

What would be the possibility or probability, of a hurricane crossing over the top of the spill and picking up the oil.?

If the wirly wirly picks up the oil slick and carries it into the air, how far could it potentially spread?

Will it cover crops as it falls with / like rain?

Would the crude, being a petrochemical, become atomized enough to be activated by a lightning strike? Or ignited by oppositely charged clouds(like napalm clouds, fire in the sky or elsewhere)

Could be some interesting answers, guess we`ll find out one way or another.

Tick Tock.

Another idea instead of a straight capping procedure, could have been cutoff, sleeved with a valve open, bolted or welded, valve closed, and usable further down the track by joining fresh pipe above valve and opening again.
