Former LDN photographer Bob
Frank took a Coast Guard flight over the gulf to film the activity
at the site of the sinking of the Deep Water Horizon.

replacement well which is supposed to intersect the current leaking
well.

temporary drilling platform.
A typical gulf scene of crude just below the
surface of the water.
BP is currently deciding whether to implement
"Top Kill," a process where they inject a clay-like heavy mud and
concrete to plug the flow via the blowout preventer.

across from the open hatch of the plane to get clear shots of the
gulf activity.
