That's a lot of oil!!


Latest News

See that? That's the estimated (probably lower than the true numbers) amount of gallons of oil that's been dumped into the Gulf Coast so far. I've been waiting CNN like crazy lately, and this Gulf Coast oil spill is a bonafide disaster. Looks like they got robots trying to cap the leak this evening. Hopefully they chill with the tragic photos of oil-covered ducks and pelicans.

Hopefully BP doesn't find it necessary to drop another $50 million for a PR company to design a image-saving commercial starring their CEO who promises to "make things right". All while fisherman and farmers who rely on the natural bounty of the Gulf are struggling to maintain a living. That's the real tragedy.

Wow...

This sinkhole from Tropical Storm Agatha in Guatemala City looks like something that should be in the movie 2012, not a real-life catastrophe.

Events

The sinkhole was said to have gobbled up a three-story building and a house, and is about the size of a large street intersection. Hundreds have lost their lives to this tragedy. Hopefully Guatemala can get back on its feet quickly after this one.
