[/quote] the oil spill is constantly being sunk, because the corexit is being used to sink it. The "leak" is actually 38 leaks now. It's growing. Last I was updated, the oil has been settling in the deepest area of the gulf and forms a "plume" (what a stupid term), 400 miles long, 80 miles wide and 2 MILES deep. And the gulf is more than 2 miles deep in it's deepest areas. so as you can see this region is possibly more oil than water now, depending on the density of the "plume" [/quote]

BP Spill Oil 'Not Gone, It's Where Nobody Has Looked'
"In some areas the oily material that Joye describes is more than two inches thick. Her team found the material as far as 70 miles away from BP's well."
"There is nothing living in these cores other than bacteria," she said. "I've yet to see a living shrimp, a living worm, nothing."
"We're finding it everywhere that we've looked. The oil is not gone," Joye said. "It's in places where nobody has looked for it."
"Oil from the BP spill has not been completely cleared, but miles of it is sitting at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to a study currently under way."
