I know this is not new news and I know everyone knows about it but it just pisses me off to insanity.

The Coast Guard is saying that the probable reason this happened is because these jerks didnt pay attention the the instruments and GPS system on this vessel. The fog was thick and they didnt think to guide the ship on its extremely accurate guidance systems? Now all these animals are fucked, the fisherman are fucked, the water is fucked-I hope that the people responsible for this really get fucked.

58,000 gallons of oil. 58,000 fucking gallons. Mother fuck these people. Why on Earth wouldnt these assholes take steering a ship through those conditions seriously enough to follow protocol for said conditions? We should re-institue public hangings.


"This is exactly the kind of event that can push a species into extinction," said Swanson, of the Bay Institute.
