The cost awarded to cleanup the Exxon Valdez was 5 billion dollars, although the amount is still being debated in court to the delight of the attorneys who no doubt will make more money than all the fisherman's lifetime combined incomes in Alaska.
The cost to cleanup the goo in the Gulf of Mexico will cost ten fold that of the Valdez not counting attorney fees of course.
The World Trade Centers One and Two were completed at a total cost of 900 million dollars
Why is our American outrage misdirected to third world thugs, when the BP cost will no doubt vastly overshadow anything the Arabs can muster. Grab your bicycle and your wallet because pump gas is going to skyrocket to pay for the attorney's , lawsuits, bureaucrats and cleanup. In that order. Never waste a perfectly good disaster when you can score a big profit from the public trust!!
