PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!!!!! The US and Russia, which have more bluster than cooperation in their often-contentious history, will have their jet fighters take turns pursuing a civilian plane across the Pacific next week in a first-of-its-kind exercise to test their response to a potential international hijacking. Aircraft and officers from Russia and the North American Aerospace Defense Command will track the civilian plane, an executive-style jet that will play the role of a hijacked civilian airliner. The goal is to test how well the two forces can hand off responsibility for the "hijacked" plane. The three-day exercise is scheduled to start Sunday in Alaska. - BP has announced plans to drill once again in the same reservoir in the Gulf of Mexico, although it is still struggling to seal the catastrophic leak of the Deepwater Horizon well completely. "Clearly there's lots of oil and gas there and we'll have to think about what to do with that at some point," BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said on Friday, AFP reported. The company is on the hook for tens of billions of dollars in fines and cleanup and compensation costs for the worst environmental disaster in US history.
