Oil Spill Covers 29,000 Square Miles and Counting

The MODIS / Terra satellite image of the Gulf taken yesterday (May 24, 2010) is a relatively cloud-free look at the ongoing oil spill in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Areas covered by oil slick and sheen are marked with a solid orange line. Areas where we think there may be slicks and sheen, but our analysis is of lower confidence, are shown by dashed orange lines. All together, slicks and sheen are possibly covering as much as 28,958 square miles (75,000 km2). That's an area as big as the state of South Carolina:

We also though it would be interesting to produce a matching version of this image with 
none of our annoying annotation:

It's 
Day 35 of this fatal incident. Our estimated spill rate of 1.1 million gallons (26,500 barrels) per day, now on the conservative end of the scientific estimates, leads us to conclude that almost 39 million gallons of oil have spilled into the Gulf so far. BP and the federal government had said that they would announce a new official estimate of the daily spill rate on May 22, but we've heard nothing more about that. As far as we can tell, they are still claiming the spill rate is 210,000 gallons (5,000 barrels) per day. At that much lower rate, the total amount spilled would be 7.35 million gallons.

  1. As scriputres testify, in the last days, there will be GREAT POLLUTIONS. We are in those last days now. Now is the time to prepare!

  2. Considering that a million gallons of highly toxic dispersants have alreadsy been applied to break up the oil, driving it beneath the surface, I think these satellite images greatly underestimate the real scope of the 'spill'.

  3. From what I have heard much of the oil is under water where it cannot be seen by satellite or aerial views.

    BP should be boycotted and used out of business in court.

    They should have know because of the Russians problems with deep drilling that there was a big risk.

    BOYCOTT BP

    SUE BP

  4. King Obongo and his nincompoop team can't count job losses, unemployment, budget deficient, bankruptcies, illegal aliens, or even pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the bottom.

    There is no way in hell they can calculate the flow of this unprecedented (to use Obama's favorite word) global disaster. Heck he just canceled giving BP an award days after the leak started.

  5. What's the point of preparing if it's the last days? If it's my last days on earth, I want to live life to its fullest, because only when death is imminent can we really void our psyche of vitriol and truly LIVE.

  7. irrelivant of what we can speculate. there is a shit ton of oil in the water whether it be visable or not. the leak is still wide open. BP is garbage.. go watch the movie, no impact man.. if u want to have an affect on the world give up every god damn electronic, oil vehicle, entertainment, go live on a farm next to the ocean. just not near the gulf.. but this does have potnetial to turn into a a major global eco-disaster. dont forget about the chemical dispersants or the 2000mile wide circles of garbage and plastic in every ocean. sure i can see the end is near.. im growing pot, poppin vicodins, slappin bitches wit my cock, offroading in my jeep. i got water and and food stocked up a little gold n silver. im living life to the fullest. i am not a criminal, i have no interest in crime or destruction of other people or their belongings, but if ur a cute girl, ur mine.

  8. Presidents are tools of the global elite money changers. Trouble is this Obama character is the world's biggest narcissist and he's off the reservation and out of control.

    Keep you eyes on the Sestak mess. His handlers have more dirt on this post turtle than carter has pills. They will throw him under the bus unless he calms down.

    Should be a very interesting summer.

  12. The most horrible ecological catastrophe in the history of the us and it receives minimal coverage. The people are so dumbed down they don't even care.


    This is unbelievable and the coastal people and politicians should be on the streets demonstrating to get this thing stopped and cleaned up.

    Doesn't anyone care about anything besides what's on tv tonight or what sport team is playing this week-end?

  13. do you people work?

    We're in a depression, man, haven't you heard? People generally don't work during depressions. Wake up!!

  14. How does that saying go..."You don't know what you got until it's gone"

    When it's gone, then people will care. But it will be too late.

    The End Times are just one end times out of millions, this is another one.

    The Earth is irrelevant right now and needs to be recycled (entire cosmos will need to be rewired) due to the long years of thought-currents which have suppressed consciousness.

    For those who would like to enter the New World ask God to consecrate you by showing you the truth (right mind) and purifying your heart (right motives).

    God is not outside nor is it a question of belief but it is a question of the One True Spirit giving a physical body the ability to become a selfless vehicle for "Its" energy right now.

    The world is fucked for mankind, at least unless people want to become slaves and their children worse. Those who can't see it now will see it real soon.

    With that why not take the leap? What do you have to lose? I feel a terrible shadow rising each day, it is getting really dark and horrible, but I also see Paradise unfolding. It may very well be that the Tao (Truth and Grace) interacting through man and making Christs (Elect) are causing this turbulence. As the planet heals the shadows will rise up and what was unknown will be known, what we couldn't see will be seen?

  22. Looks like the top kill did not work. That thing is blowing out 2-3X as much by the looks of the footage. YIKES!

  23. No it did work. They want more flow destroying the environment because this shit has not done its job yet.

  24. 4:29: Fully agree. This is growing worse by the hour; certainly by the day. BP has no control of the situation. I think they're running out of options.

  25. What the hell are we seeing? Did they botch the thing?
