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.

it sucks but doesnt piss me off that much.

Unless gas prices rise because of it

 

yea...... shit happens.

 

THats like saying prices will rise because I bought some gas and poured it down the drain

 

This wasn't oil that would be turned into gas anyways. o:

 

Oh, I thought the gas tank brokened

 

the world owes me everything.

 

Its really sad how easy this accident could have been avoided. THe fumes made me sick that day.

 

Little difference between the 12 gallons you put in your Integra and the 58,000 that were spilled

 

Good, I hope it speeds up Global Warming. It's fucking cold here.

Also, coastal birds irritate me. I would not be sad if a few of them died.
