North Korean Kamikaze torpedo?

This animation [at link] of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill was created using actual overflight information and forecast models from the NOAA and Unified Command.
The red dot is the location of the Deepwater Horizon oil well, which exploded on April 20, releasing oil into the Gulf near the Louisiana coast that has yet to be contained. Eleven rig workers are missing and are presumed to have died in the explosion.
The animation begins Aprill 22, the day the first image of the spill via flyover was released.

Thanks for the link. This is terrible. It’s hard to believe there isn’t more we can do.
Oh please, don’t get your panties in a wad.
It’s oil, crude oil.
It’s not the end of the world.
Yes, the envirowackos will cry forever about the endangered otter but we will survive.
It is only helpful ammo for the libs to cry like small children, don’t play that game.
Some time ago, I researched the number of ships sank in WWII. Over 5K US and allied vessels. Many I assume were fuel tankers and most were likely powered by fuel oil (heavy bunker C crude).
Nobody raced out to clean up the spills, yet the world didn’t come to an end.
Following the link to Butch Napolitano there is a pipe end spewing Oil, all these genius they have it is time to start closing the leaks off with some shop made devices.
I think they need to freeze it and take it to the artic
seems to be a lot of oil there. Thought we were out of oil?
Amazing isn’t it the lies upon lies.
A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States.
Most important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war” it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War.
To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo vessel” Dai Hong Dan believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class Mini Submarine (Yugo class) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles).
On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a massive explosion and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright. Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen.

Something should have been done IMMEDIATELY when the area was much smaller. It’s grown . . . exponentially.
YES, email whitehouse.gov and ask them why they didn’t do something earlier.
YES, write your letters to the editors and blame this eco-disaster on Obama’s failure to be decisive. But then why should we expect him to be any different than he usually is?
Which gets my right eyebrow arching uncontrollably. I haven’t followed what they have discovered that could have possibly caused this, but surely there are many enviro-whacko activists dancing a jig about this incident.
Follow the money?
I’m just sayin’.
North Korean Kamikaze torpedo?
Actually I think most WWII ships used coal..
The first tip-off in this article is this statement from the very first paragraph:
"...caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy..."
Great loss of life? 11 people died in that incident. I grieve for the loss of those men, but it's hardly a "great loss of life".
And, how is South Korea suffering "billions in untold economic damage"? Hyundai Heavy Industries was certainly paid in full when they delivered that rig to the operator in the Gulf.
That's also a private company. If they suffered ANY loss, it would hit their shareholders, NOT the whole South Korean economy.
If anyone is going to suffer financially over this incident, it will be the owners of the rig, or their insurance company.
You've got to actually read this stuff to spot the obvious wild-eyed imaginings before you post or email it.
No I don't! If you don't believe it fine, don't read it.
I happen to believe that North Koren Idiot wouldn't think twice about doing something like this. Did you happen see any real evidence in the articles about the South Koren Ship they sank?
I predict that the damage from this spill will turn out to be very little.
it kills it maybe....because folks are getting emotive like you are
no disrespect
