I wasn't thrilled with the Drill Baby Drill decision, but I thought--maybe there are more and better safeguards to prevent disasters. Guess not--or if there are, the regulations didn't require their use. This company can in no way pay for the damage they've caused. My brother is trying to go down there with a film crew. He's a documentary/evironmental filmer with a wildlife biology background, often picks up jobs with big companies as a camera man. He wants to film and spend his non work hours volunteering.

Ghastly, and a serious threat to people's livelihoods as well as to who knows what unique little crittters. And even not so unique critters. Aren't we supposed to steward the earth? That means, take care of! Never mind. We screwed up the southern states. Let's go raid somewhere pristine and start again. No-one will notice if we mess up the arctic. It seems utterly incomprehensible that BP could do this and not have a worst-case plan, fail-safes for fail-safes and then some. Sorry for the men, for the families, with the first deaths on the exploding rig. They are but the first of many to suffer.
