Mark my words: that oil spill in the gulf will turn out to be the worst natural disaster in the memory of anyone on facebook. Chernobyl? Valdez? Three Mile Island? The army spraying S. marcescens over San francisco? The army creating earthquakes at Rocky mountain Arsenal in 1961? The fire in the Pennsylvania mine burning since 1961? The Buffalo Creek disaster?
No. None of them will stack up to the gulf oil flood of 2010. The media is reporting it, but nobody has yet given it credit for how fucked up it is and will be.
Like I said, mark my words. I don't make bold statements about future stuff often, but here I am, doing just that. The oil "spill" (really, it's more of a flood than a spill) which has begun under the BP rig these past few days will be the worst environmental disaster we've seen to date.
