Uh Oh... Bot Collided with Containment Cap...

From AFP via Breitbart:

"The containment system capturing oil from the Gulf of Mexico spill had to be removed Wednesday, leaving the gusher unchecked after a collision involving a robotic submarine, US officials said."

(UPDATE)

Two people died today in the cleanup operation. One is a boat captain who died of a gunshot wound.

(2nd Update)

Two people who died were part of the program called "Vessels of Opportunity", which is "designed and implemented to provide local boat operators an opportunity to assist with response activities, including transporting supplies, assisting wildlife rescue and deploying containment and sorbent boom" and is part of BP's effort to clean up the oil spill.
