Two NASA satellites are capturing images of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which began April 20, 2010 with the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. This short video reveals a space-based view of the burning oil rig and, later, the ensuing oil spill through May 24. The timelapse uses imagery from the MODIS instrument, on board NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites. The oil slick appears grayish-beige in the image and changes due to changing weather, currents, and use of oil dispersing chemicals.

Images in this video times series were selected that show the spill most clearly. The full image archive is available at: http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov

    Firstly, the location of a companies headquarters does not define what 'nationality' it belongs. This is because most large buisnesses have multiple. As an example, Mcdonalds has a headquarters in East Finchley, London.

    Also, what makes a company "larger"? Shell has a much higher revenue, operating income, total equity and total assets.

    Not only that but Shells number of employees - 102,000 - shadows BP's 80,300.

    Even further, these details are taken from before the Bp oil spill.

    Pretty sure they just let it ooz for about 6 months while they tried to collect it off the surface and then made more rigs so they could finish pumping out the oil. They could give a fuck about cleaning it they were mainly concerned with collecting it. The valdez oil spill is still washing up tar ball from over 20 years ago this won't be cleaned up until your dead. There was alot of coral reefs that are just gone now and won't grow back for another 50 years.

    You are indeed a very very wise man. Have you ever considered moving to a monastery in China and work as a wise man there?

    I thought long... very long in fact. A years worth of thinking. The States(individually and collectively) do suffer. Socially, economically, structurally. You don't think greed has some sort of connection to this? Even to the difficulties of people on a smaller and personal scale. You don't feel that it's others greed that we are herded by, like a bunch of sheep whose fleece keeps those greedy all snug and warm? Greed is a major player in every civilization.

    With this and now the Japan nuclear crisis, it looks like humanity will surely wipe itself out within a hundred years...
