My feelings are that before the BP spill many like this occurred, but no one was paying attention and it never made news beyond the local newspaper and TV station.

Now because we are sensitive to spills more attention is being paid to them.

I hope the spills stop in the future, but if they continue they must be reported nationally, and on the front page, so we get a true picture of what is really happening to our environment.

Why is it they always under estimate how much they lost.
Like BP they will likely get their big bonuses and live happily somewhere else.
