I’ve been watching this live stream of the oil disaster for about two weeks. It’s mesmerizing. I feel bad when a little gasoline comes off the tiny outboard and gets into the lake - this thing is a fire hose the diameter of a large pizza blasting oil into the ocean. Watching the crude pour out of the containment cap is like watching a stranger bleed profusely out of their head at a bike race or seeing someone lying on the street after getting hit by a car. You’re dying to do something, but you have no idea what you can except to say, “It’s going to be alright,” even though you can hardly believe it yourself.
