Oil Spill Reported Near Deepwater Drilling Site in Gulf

[JBeukema]

The Coast Guard is investigating reports of a potentially large oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico not far from the Deepwater Horizon site. According to a knowledgeable source, the slick was sighted by a helicopter pilot on Friday and is about 100 miles long. A fishing boat captain said he went through the slick yesterday and it was strong enough to make his eyes burn.

Sediment does not burn your eyes. Or make sheens on the water. Saw the pictures on TV and the people there stated definately that it is oil, and a pretty major spill, at that.

 

[Mr. H.]

Yup.

Still, ag has fucked up the gulf far worse.

Thus far, yes. Between the two of them, the future of the Gulf for the use of food and recreation is looking pretty bleak.

Just wait until it all evaporates from the lava.

Just as a follow-up, the "sediment" claim is classic industry cover-up.
