Horrible prediction regarding the oil spill disaster

Via the Hill Buzz guys, who are worried the spill is much worse than we realize, comes a pessimistic insider's look at the prospects of actually stopping the oil from gushing into the Gulf, which will be changed forever in our lifetimes:
What is likely to happen now? 
Well...none of what is likely to happen is good, in fact...it's about as bad as it gets. I am convinced the erosion and compromising of the entire system is accelerating and attacking more key structural areas of the well, the blow out preventer and surrounding strata holding it all up and together. This is evidenced by the tilt of the blow out preventer and the erosion which has exposed the well head connection. What eventually will happen is that the blow out preventer will literally tip over if they do not run supports to it as the currents push on it. I suspect they will run those supports as cables tied to anchors very soon, if they don't, they are inviting disaster that much sooner.
