Scale

Note how "spill" is crossed out and replaced by "disaster".

1. I would be interested in seeing some "scale" .....

including the underwater 'plumes' being reported .... One now about 20 miles off the Florida Keys reported to be 6 miles wide and 22 to 30 miles long. Other scientists as far back as May 17th have said these underwater 'plumes' are too many to number ... so who really knows the extent of this disaster so far. The surface area in these graphs comparing them to city landmarks ... might just be the tip of the iceberg. This isn't even taking into account the 'depth' these plumes and surface area images of oil .... could contain. Anyway thanks for the image. K&R, Peace.

3. You have a good point

This map then, is a good launching place for more consideration of its impact - environmental, economic, and psychological.

4. And to be predicted ..... BP is now claiming these underwater plumes are bogus ...

even though many University Scientific crews are going out and recording this stuff under the surface.

Let me see .... the toxic dispersants BP is using, by their own admission, BP's, MAKE THE OIL BREAK UP AND SINK .... but now they say the underwater plumes are non existent .... oh nevermind ..... :eyes:
