Så er den store olieklokke på plads

Natten til onsdag lykkedes det amerikanske eksperter at anbringe en tung klokke over et af de tre huller, hvorfra tusindvis af tønder olie hver dag strømmer ud i Den Mexicanske Golf. Det er dog endnu for tidligt at sige, hvilket effekt det får på udstrømningen.

"Op mod 49 millioner liter råolie kan være sluppet ud i vandet ud for den amerikanske kyst i Den Mexicanske Golf", vurderer den amerikanske havforsker Ian MacDonald fra Floridas statsuniversitet.

Hvis Ian MacDonald har ret, overstiger oliekatastrofen det store udslip der fandt sted ud for Alaskas kyst i 1989, hvor olietankeren Exxon Valdez gik på grund, hvilket ført til et udslip på 41 millioner liter råolie.

Oliekatastrofen i Den Mexicanske Golf blev udløst, da olieboreplatformen Deepwater Horizon eksploderede og brød i brand den 20. april. To dage senere sank den. 11 borearbejdere mistede livet.
