I read newspaper articles that they tried to plug the leaking hole with tires and golf balls. How are they going to remove all the oil from the surface of the water? I have no idea. Someone asked if the oil could be ignited, so that the oil burns out and there is no more oil left? Maybe it can be ignited, but maybe that would kill even more nearby birds and creatures and it could lead to the whole oil refinery building igniting in a fire.
