Is the following true?? The environmental harm is way worse than

[henslee]

is being reported? That between destroyed oil rigs, refineries, chemical plants and whatver else... the gulf of Mexico will take years to recover? And that most dealhs (thousands) will be due to victims getting cooked alive in their attics, in the heat? And that the reason why the hundreds of millions already being offered by countries is becauase they already comprehend the severity of the eco-disaster?
This is all from a crazed, sincere Frenchman handing out fliers on a Miami street corner. I kind of think he's right about things being way worse than we are being told.

1. People have already died from cholera, dysentery....

Consider that there are gas stations under water. Chemical storage facilities underwater. Mosquitos.

All kinds of dead bodies/animals/older dead bodies floating in the water.

I'd believe it.

[stillcool]

7. there was a thread earlier...

today about a toxic waste dump that had years before been covered and built upon......just to add insult to injury.

[Tallison]

11. Cholera?

Do you have a link/source for this? Dysentary, of course...

[henslee]

12. I read cholera, too somewhere. Miss., I think. Will look for link.

[Lindsay]

2. I believe that's true.

And we have an anti-science Pretzeldent in charge.

There has got to be a way to get these morons out of the way and get the work done.

3. Probably

the Gulf is in bad shape to begin with.

I'm certainly not going to eat too anxious to eat Gulf scallops at the moment.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. Lots of chemicals have been set loose

and there is geniune fear that they will leach into the subsoil as the waters subside.

[Minstrel Boy]

5. It must be.

Just like lower Manhattan, only spread over a huge and complex ecosystem.

[henslee]

8. He also said Roberts is being chosen for Chief Judge to bail

Boyking out of getting prosecuted. This seemed far fetched... Besides, he already owns SCOTUS.

[crikkett]

15. I'm dense: how would that happen?

please 'splain.
:beer:

[henslee]

6. kicking... because GD is too fast.

[cally]

9. Someone posted a few days ago

that the Gulf may be a dead zone for years. The environmental damage will be huge with the oil and chemical spills entering the Gulf.

[evolvenow]

10. Heavy metals, dead humans and animal and all the sewage, and the mosquito's

are going to be transferring disease. I heard that a huge chicken processing plant was destroyed and all of the poor birds where in piles with the waste. It is a pollution nightmare. It will take some serious clean-up and tech to bring it back to balance. Those poor people and animals...and it could have been prevented if the War Criminals had not taken the money to fix the levees and pumped it into their evil illegal flipping war.

These Murderers should be forced to pull all of the dead bodies out and then be locked with them in the Hague. Just horrible.

Hopefully, there will be some new technologies for cleaning it up.

13. Diabetics wading through that filthy water

are going to have a hell of a time warding off and healing from lower extremity infections they're likely to pick up. I don't doubt that many will wind up losing legs as a result of exposure to such unsanitary conditions and lack of prompt medical attention.

[CountAllVotes]

14. yes it is far worse than being reported

It is a vile swamp, a pit of creatures that emerge from the bowels of the bayou and snap up those that end up in it quickly. The chemicals from the chemicals plants that have gone down with the hurricane are now in this water as well.

The bodies of the dead are being housed in a former Leaper colony on plastic sheets placed on cement floors because they have been deemd "bio-hazards".

What about those that lived though this and are out walking around? Should they not be in quarantine I suggest!?

God this country makes me angry. :grr:

The death toll has yet to begin.
