Great Barrier Reef in Danger After Oil Spill

I saw it on the news. Somebody should shoot the guy who is responsible for this.

That's terrible. You guys catch the 2 hour show on the Exxon Valdeeze (spelling) oil spill? Almost 20 years or so later and still not cleaned up.

how the hell do you manage to hit something as big as the GBR. is it not on a map yet or what?!

someone hasnt done their job correctly but lets hope the company that own this step up and offer to foot the bill for cleaning up.

yeah, its a scary thought that something as magnificant as the GBR could be trashed by just one ship.

Yeah Guys I dive the area that this sh%t is going to hit shore. the amount of reef through that area is phenominal, the shipping channel is huge and has regular beacons along the route to guide these ships through. A demented circus monkey could drive a ship through there. F#%K the chinese and their pieces of unmaintained oceanic junk. I am so pissed off righ now, You cant not see it especially on a full moon like it was....No excuses execute them I say, the ship is fully loaded and destroying world heritige area, the loop the were trying to run is a short cut used by the charter boats to skip through on their way to the swaines reefs, my guess is they followed one of the big charters like the Grey Scout and couldnt fit. most likely a time saver trying to out run another ship for unload.

I lived and worked around the area for years.

Thanks once again to China for poisoning the earth.

Just read about it in 'NEWSDAY' and its totally disheartening.
