Amazing Photos Of U.S. Coast Guard Helicopters In Action In The Gulf Of Mexico

I'll include the first of the series.....

Image: United States Coast GuardGULF OF MEXICO - A member of the Coast Guard flying a mission over the Gulf of Mexico July 4 overlooks the "A Whale," an enormous vessel that was recently deployed to assist with collecting product from the Mississippi Canyon oil spill site. This Taiwanese ship is 10 stories high and as longer than three football fields, and its manufacturer claims it is capable of skimming more than 21 million gallons of oil everyday.

Same old error on the caption. If it was capable of skimming up 21 million gallons of oil a day, it could skim up every drop released since April by this time next week. It’s 21 million gallons of water. The MSM has been making that mistake consistently, and I don’t know whether it’s hype, an attempt to pad their story, wishful/magical thinking, or just sheer stupidity. It’s sure not giving the public an accurate picture.
