"Booming" is a method by which oil spills are contained through the use of booms. More info at : http://www.mass.gov/dep/cleanup/os/Pages/Boom-Deploy.html
Boom Deployment
Each oil spill presents different challenges depending on the type of oil spilled, the location, weather, time of day, the manpower available and the equipment at hand. It is important to plan a practical strategy to protect sensitive resources utilizing the resources available and keeping safety in mind at all times. The effective and timely deployment of the oil spill boom can lessen both cleanup time and money.
There are three types of boom deployment:
Containment
Deflection
Exclusion
11 days before this "accident" Halliburton purchased a major oil well emergency control company, Boots & Coots International well control. Amazing that the common denominator in this disaster seems to be former Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney. Blogger Connects Dots and Finds Arrow Pointing to ex-VP

(Newser) The scope of the Gulf oil spill is far from clear, but the finger-pointing is already under way, and a lot of fingers ought to be aiming at Dick Cheney (former Halliburton CEO), Alex Pareene blogs for Salon. Connecting the dots that begin with a Wall Street Journal exposé, we learn that Cheney's highly classified energy task force was responsible for the fact "that the oil well didn't have a remote-control shut-off switch," Pareene writes, "a thing that it seems every single offshore drilling rig should have."
"The former Dark Lord of the Naval Observatory" is no rookie at covering his tracks, but the follow-up argument is a no-brainer: "Halliburton is involved, too! The Los Angeles Times reports that BP contracted Dick Cheney's old company to cement the deepwater drill hole." In short, Pareene writes, "Thanks, Dick. Nice work."
This video's expert narrator asks why this oil isn't being contained. Who will be accountable for this? These are questions all of us should be asking. Make the "powers that be" ANSWER us!
