Where is the Oil Spill? Detailed topo maps BP didnt provide http://coto2.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/where-is-the-oil-spill-detailed-topo-maps-bp-didnt-provide/

It’s the largest environmental disaster in U.S. – and possibly world history. But do you know exactly where it is? Could you point to a map and show where the oil rig sank? Do you know what the topography of the surrounding area is?Some oil industry professionals are worried that a landslide at the spill site could make the oil spill much worse by carrying away the blowout preventer, riser and all other equipment. While I have no idea how likely it is that a landslide could occur before the well is capped, it is true that:

(1) The spill site is located in a steep canyon, as discussed above; (2) There are hundreds of feet of loose mud and muck on top of the sea floor in this area; and (3) Many deepwater, oil-rich areas within the Gulf are tectonically active.
