Huh ...

Imagine ..... the government not implementing their well thought-out plan:

If U.S. officials had followed up on a 1994 response plan for a major Gulf oil spill, it is possible that the spill could have been kept under control and far from land.

The problem: The federal government did not have a single fire boom on hand.

1994? Wow, that's like, 15 or 16 years ago.
