Not fearmongering, but speculation using what little information that is available. If BP and the US government would come clean with what is actually going on we wouldn't have to speculate. A lot of people are going through a lot of information to try and determine what happened and is happening. If you can find any information to show that they are wrong, please feel free to post it.

Quick Thought..
Earth is not fragile like an egg, and mankind is not powerful enough to
cause massive destruction of this enduring planet by drilling a small
hole a mere 7 miles into its crust.
Wouldn't this be akin to a patient dropping dead after the nurse pricks
his finger to draw blood?

Honestly even if Obama or whoever knew that a nuke would work, they probably still wouldn't do it for who knows what reason. I agree that it should be looked into though. I know the idea is unpopular with some, but the thought of having to listen to people whining and complaining about this for months is worse than anything a nuke could do 2 miles under the ocean.
Kola Superdeep Borehole
The Kola Superdeep Borehole (Russian: Кольская сверхглубокая скважина) is the result of a scientific drilling project of the former USSR. The project attempted to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust. Drilling began on 24 May 1970 on the Kola Peninsula, using the Uralmash-4E, and later the Uralmash-15000 series drilling rig. A number of boreholes were drilled by branching from a central hole. The deepest, SG-3, reached 12,262 metres (40,230 ft) in 1989, and is the deepest hole ever drilled, and the deepest artificial point on the earth.

I understand that we are still in the very early stages of this disaster, but it would be helpful to know what the worst case sceneros really are. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer.
Next month the relocation's will begin to get people away from the toxic dispersant s that were used. Whole towns will have to be abandoned and patrolled by LEOs and guardsmen in hasmat suits. The smell will be unbearable with the enormous death of birds and sea life that will be washed up.
A new Governmental agency will be established much like the Dept. of Homeland security. The thinktanks have been told to drop everything to devote full time to this problem; social, scientific, economic and political.
It's going to get much worse before the problems can even begin to be addressed.
I really don't blame those that want to minimize the problem. If I lived in the region and had emotional and financial attachments; I'm sure I would do the same thing. I also would be making preparations to leave.
