If some person flies over this debacle - what? Exxon gonna hit them with a fine? Under what authority? Gonna shoot them down? With what?

This has to be the CRAZIEST environmental disaster in a long time. This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of why the Right pushes relentlessly for deregulation on ALL fronts. The next time there's a spill like this it'll be the propety owners responsibilities to clean it up and pay the oil company for pipeline repairs.
