Potential for big spill after oil rig sinks

36 hours after the major explosion and the Deepwater Horizon has sunk. Now officials are worried that many gallons of crude oil could spill into the sea. So far ship have been skimming oil off the surface. But it won't be until tomorrow at least before they find out if the rid is still spilling more crude oil under the surface. They are currently using a remotely controlled vehicle to look around the sunken rig to see if in fact the crude is spilling from the well of the rig.

It seems that the problems are just getting bigger due to the explosion of the rig. There are still 11 people missing and now to add to it there is a good chance many gallons of crude oil are spilling into the ocean waters. They need to find out if it is spilling and if so stop it quickly before they have even more problems. For everyone's sake I hope that the missing people are found and that there isn't oil spilling into the water.
