oil tanker crashed!

[THECHAMMAN]

WOW! a oil tanker crashed yesterday at night and i was loaded w/ a few hundred thousand gallons of diesel fuel and i threw up all of this morning and i had a nosebleed for 3 hours and had to go to the hospital because of it. some serious BS. all because of some dumb tugboat driver hit a freaking tanker. what a moron, who misses a OIL TANKER!!!!!

The captain of the Valdez maybe.

could be. it'll b gone soon bec the diesel fuel will flow downriver.

Terrible when this happens, It may be washed down stream but we will be seeing effects of it for years. Alaska is still suffering from the Valdez disaster.
I know we need to find more oil here at home...But as a surfer, scuba diver, and coastal dweller, I really hate looking out at the beautiful coastal horizon and having your view ruined by 6 oil rigs parked in the sunset. I would be incredibly happy if they could find a way to minimize the height profile on their rigs. It really does ruin the view.

i scuba and my friends dad is a marine biologist so we go out to the gulf and scuba. those oil rigs are amazing artificial reefs, but they are sooo ugly. when we want to watch the sun go down and relax, seeing an oil rig is such a bummer.
btw im going scuba diving on saturday and if i can get my friends dad to let me borrow his underwater cam i might be able to post some pics of some cool fish. but i really wish we could see a whale shark. ive only seen one in the wild before.
