BP’s massive oil spill has reached another threshold. Sometime today the spill will become the largest ever in the GULF OF MEXICO (somewhere between 70-140 million gallons have spewed)… The oil calculation is based on the higher end of the government’s range of barrels leaked per day, minus the amount BP says it has collected… BUT there is still hope… Officials say they now have a huge new piece of equipment that they’ve dubbed “the world’s largest oil-skimming vessel”…
Officials hope the ship can scoop up to 21 million gallons of oil-fouled water a day…
