Captains,As FOSC for the Deepwater Horizon spill response, my duties included regular overflights of the maritime operations. Four to five thousand vessels engaged in various operations, including well control, in-situ burning, skimming, equipment and worker transportation, waste disposal, boom deployment and maintenance, command and control, and reconnaissance. Over 40,000 people are working in the response - at least three quarters of them in sea-going activities.
I photographed the well control fleet (right) and deck barges near Grand Isle, LA (below).
