Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Disaster |
|
Tuesday, 11 May 2010 |
 As the world celebrated the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day this year, one of the largest disasters of this century occurred when an explosion and fire were reported aboard the Deepwater Horizon on April 20th and then, on April 22, Earth Day, another explosion occurred and the Transocean Deepwater Horizon drilling rig sank 130 miles southeast of New Orleans.
Dive Into Your Imagination has been watching this environmental disaster very closely and have been amazed at both the news media's reaction to it and the cover up to who is at fault. While in Chicago during the week after the incident, the reports were not on the history of how this could happen, what we could do to prevent it, how we could cut our dependency on oil or how we could help the people in the Gulf and the surrounding states; no, the news did not report on this. The news reported on how the price of shrimp, fish and oysters were going to skyrocket because of the oil disaster. The same thing happened a few years ago when Scientists released the report that in less than 50 years there will be no more fish in the Ocean if we continue the way we have overfished; CNN responded with, "don't worry though, we will have aqua farms and you will be able to still get fish."
