Oil is 6 Inches Below The Sand In Pensacola.

WEAR Television has a video today that is worth seeing.

The video shows a geologist digging a trench on Pensacola's beach. Six inches below the beach surface a layer of oil is visible. I wonder if there are other layers of oil below?

While it is important to clean the surface of the beach, it is clear that the cleanup will require removing a substantial amount of sand.

The cleanup in the water seems to be an identical process: Clean the surface. It is not difficult to imagine the immense damage to the body of water. Other than dispersing chemicals, is this going to ever be addressed?

This reminds me of Craig T. Nelson shouting "You moved the headstones but you didn't move the bodies!"
