This is definately a catastrophe especially for us in that live around the gulf coast. not only that but this will severely jeopardize my lively hood in the Offshore and Oil & Gas industry. This is all true, but i think its definately getting blown out of proportion. this is not some doomsday level event. not even close. we will be cleaning up this mess and i think the oil and gas industry will be changed forever. New safety protocols and no more BP saving a penny here and there to bypass safety regulations. they own and operate the most dangerous and scabbed together shithole plants and platforms in the world. this could have been avoided had BP not tried to save some change on the lowest bidder. I live on the gulf we find massive amounts of tar and oily build up all year round due to natural oil seepage, it does kill plants and animals, however there are other organisms that take advantage of this. this will get plugged, it will get cleaned, the earth will recover, and things will be ok. We do need to hold BP accountable for this and I am saddened at the thought of taxpayers covering massive costs and burdens due to this.
