What a terrible tragedy. I am an avid recreational scuba diver and animal lover. The human race have a lot to answer for in destroying this planet. “THOU SHALT NOT KILL”

Horrifying , the underwater oil is so dense, far worse than imagined , marine life just dont have a chance of surviving that thick toxic mess, so tragic. Thousands of gallons continue to gush into the ocean .. . . no sign of it stopping anytime soon. The vast area this oil now covers is huge, how much further will it spread ? kiling everything in its path I fear the worst !!! I rename the gulf the "Dead Sea"
