What Have We Done?

This is not a spill, Exxo-Valdez was a spill. This is a fucking catastrophe. Exxon-Valdez spilled aproximately 40'900,000 liters. The BP Oil Spill' has not been measured correctly as BP is not allowing external scientist to accurately measure the rate of crude oil flowing from the damaged well.

Initial calculation by BP claimed that the flow was in the order of 160,000 liters PER DAY.

Calculations made by unbiased scientists estimate the flow around 151'416,471 liters PER DAY!

The flow has been going on uninterrupted since April 20, 2010. As of today, one month later, just imagine the damage this catastrophe has been brought upon all the Gulf of Mexico's ecosystems, not to mention the future repercussions this will pose.

As of today, the U.S. government and BP set up a LIVE FEED of the leaking well.

I found a photograph of the spill taken from the ISS (International Space Station) dating just a few days ago, but the picture itself does not show the magnitude of the spill in comparison to a known context. I took the liberty to superimpose the image over a map provided by Google Earth just to have an idea of the magnitude of this man-made gift to mother nature.
