HOUMA, La. – A fleet of vessels span out around the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in an offensive strategy aimed at controlling the spread of oil, Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Attacking the spill on the surface, vessels skim thick oil from the top of the water and pump it into barges. Others, using fire-resistant containment boom, collect the oil into pockets and burn it offshore. U.S. Coast Guard video by Petty Officer 1st Class Luke Pinneo.
