No fly zone over Arkansas oil spill since April 1

PinoyNation

Only relief aircraft under the direction of an Exxon adviser are allowed.

Screw those guys. Seems to me like the media should be able to look over the area from above and take pictures of the disaster. Regardless of whether or not it becomes a public relations nightmare for Exxon.

I've followed this a little.

I saw reports of a similar thing happening in Michigan in 2010, I believe it was, with the same type of "tar sands oil", and the the original 5 million dollar clean up, 1 month deal has turned into a 875 million dollar mess, that still hasn't been cleaned up yet.

Now this.

I love fossil fuel. So I can't be a hypocrite and have a Mustang raising the tires in my avi and totally denounce it.

But at the same time...

WTF

I doubt the Gulf will ever recover from the oil spill in 2010.

It's only for aircraft that fly below 1000ft, I'm sure you can still get pictures from much higher.

My point in my first post was that I'm sure it was for safety reasons.

I smell conspiracy. I'm betting the oil magically formed into the image of Bush, the head of the Illuminati and therefore proving that the govt was behind 9/11.

But why put Exxon in charge? The government should be the ones coordinating the relief efforts and deciding who can or cannot fly over the area.

It's a conflict of interest to have the corporation doing it.

I would agree that the corporation would have their own best interests in mind but at the same time it's their mess, let them clean it up and finance all security measures.
