The Gulf oil rig explosion - on the scene photos

Well, perhaps I should be happy that the pretty little beach place I'm trying to buy on the Gulf Coast of Florida seemed a bit over-priced...and I was balking. 
But really, I am sad for this disaster- for lives lost, for jobs interrupted, for wildlife that will suffer- and for the environmental damage for years and years to come.
What are we doing to ourselves?

Wow. some amazing shots there- and if you want to see the slick- there are some NASA images... it's the size of Puerto Rico, people. And it's coming to shore.

It's such a tragedy. I don't get the "drill baby drill" mentality.
