Oil Spill in San Francisco Bay

[RedHedd]

Seems the Coast Guard didn't respond quickly enough or acknowledge the severity of the spill.

I know - the initial report was 140 gallons We're not stupid; I think everyone knew the instant it was reported that it was going to be BIG. The air smells weird; I know it's toxic. I just feel so bad for the innocent, defenseless wildlife that's being put in peril.

Oh that's so sad! Poor wildlife. I do hope many will volunteer to help!

Animals aren't only the ones affected. People are, too as well. Don't forget that part.

Oh I know! I can't imagine being in a area with a disaster like that happening. It's disastrous..

Just wondering if there are any more news on this spill? You would seem
to have a front row seat in this disaster. I hope they get it all contained
& begin more cleanup soon. This ship was on the way to South Korea when
it rammed the bridge?

Really not much to report. The cleanup continues, the oil continues to soil more beaches and wildlife. The rescue operations have more volunteers than they know what to do with. I didn't find out until too late this morning that they were conducting free trainings for those serious about helping with the rescue work. And they just had a blurb on the news that it wasn't a training after all - just a question/answer session without too many questions being answered, just a lot of bureaucratic red tape and platitudes.

I know there are a lot of lawyers and paralegals very busy this weekend.
