You hear about it and it's like, meh, another oil spill, but holy shit, I don't think there's a person on earth who wouldn't be affected by those pictures. I cannot find the words to describe how tragic it is.

What I don't get is why aren't we taking the Russian's advice at nuking the place in hopes of covering the oil by now?

With the extent of damage already done, how much worse is it going to get from another small bomb?

Fuck, so disheartening to see... The animals don't know any better, and even if they did, they have nowhere to go.

A lot of those images are on msnbc.com

Apparently they're working on a new cap and in 48 hours we'll find out if that's good enough to stop the flow before the relief well is finished

Below you will find a picture of millions of dead fish. These are small fish, possible baby fish. They are slowly washing ashore and towards the ports. Over 9,000 species of animals will be under threat of extinction in this region, we might not ever see again on the planet. Click the image to enlarge it.
What 9000?!?!

Sad to see.

But I like to point out is anyone going to change their way of life now? Like take the bus instead of using their cars to use less gas? I bet you over 90% people won't. We all bitch and blame the gov the oil company but if we stop using fuel then non of this would happen.

So really who among us would actually give up driving in hopes to save the planet?
