ubiquitousamericana:

“Twenty-four miles of Plaquemines Parish is destroyed. Everything in it is dead.”

Also: CORPORATE INTERESTS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE RESISTED CALLS TO SUMMON THE US DREDGING FLEET AND BUILD A MASSIVE SAND BERM TO KEEP THE OIL OFF THE COAST. Among the reasons why: BP has continually claimed that no major environmental damage was likely, that the heavy crude would stay off-shore.

IT’S ON SHORE NOW, YOU FUCKS.

I guess “no major environmental damage” = “no damage to the human environment because fuck the oceans”
