re: Six Years Ago Today: Deepwater Horizon Explodes

I worked as a contractor for the oil spill clean up and basically was the situational awareness to some head ups at BP in the Mobile command center. Each day we had a guy fly from mobile bay to the source and take photos with a GPS camera (fancy technology six years ago) He would come back and I would upload the photos on a GIS map that had a tracker of all the Vessels out there to gameplan for cleanup efforts. Somedays there was so much oil out there that I thought it would never get cleaned up. Two tropical systems came through (deemed as firecanes since the lightning was gonna ignite all the oil and wreak havok) that summer almost back to back and poof no more oil. Maybe it was the despersants doing their job but mother nature took care of this shite. For weeks we would fly and not see a drop of oil out there.
I do not for one second believe it sunk to the bottom.
