This is a disaster that defies the news cycle. This is a disaster whose scope, both in terms of damage (enviromental and fiscal) and geographic area (this stuff might even hit Cuba), will only grow adding more people into the mix.

That's amazing alright since it's nowhere near the size of the Ixtoc spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Hohoho. I wasn’t saying it would be worse (although since it is ongoing that possibility cannot be ruled out) I’m saying it will seem worse. Granted I wasn’t alive then but the information cycle was different then. Heck just think about how different your idea of world affairs was before the internet and FR.

More importantly there are agendas to be pursued stemming from this by powerful men. Soros is going to milk this thing for all it is worth and you can bet it will be invoked to help pass some kind of environmental legislation.
In that regard it is already worse than Ixtoc.
