Gulf oil spill as large as Hawaii…and continues to grow
On May - 10 - 2010
Having trouble getting a perspective on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on the Gulf coast? Well, Paul Rademacher developed a unique utility that works with Google Earth to overlay the size of the spill as it appeared on May 6th with well-known geographical locations…and customizable to include your own hometown.
As I just returned from the Big Island of Hawaii, I thought it appropriate to share a screenshot of just how bad the problem was last week.
And if you’re interested in keeping track of the devastation as it continues to grow and consume the marine ecosystem, PBS has created a widget displaying how much oil has leaked and how much continues to flow into the Gulf of Mexico . Unfortunately a mere widget does not do justice to this ecological disaster.

Oil and water don’t mix. Do I really need to say more?
