Cimarron, I, for one, don't get your argument. Your analogy of a plane crash doesn't really work. In that, once the plane is crashed, it's crashed and the damage is finalized and quantifiable.
Here, we don't know the amount of oil or what it will do. Sure, the "plane" is eventually going to crash, but we don't know if it's going to hit a house, a school, a mall, a packed stadium, the Twin Towers, or send wreckage from Texas to South Carolina the long way.
If this is a 5,000 barrel/day spill, then the damage will affect a smaller area. If it's 10,000, the area will necessarily be larger.
