..... and if you want to be like, but its not black its brown or almost red and what about gas, sulfur etc....
"Crude oil doesn't always look the same – it depends where it comes from. Sometimes it is almost colourless, or it can be thick and black. But crude oil usually looks like thin, brown treacle."
"When crude oil comes out of a well (especially an undersea well), the crude oil is often mixed with gases, water and sand. It forms an emulsion with the water that looks a bit like caramel."
"crude oil also contains sulphur."
OmG~!!! its normal for oil to come out with a brown thin, non tar like appearance like seen in this oil spill and also normal for gases, and sulfur to be present. Wow, just debunked all his reasonings for thinking they hit a volcano.
