From the article:
"They found oil on the seafloor, evidence that it may be in the food chain, and signs that it may be hidden in large marine mammals. In spots, the "oily snow" — degraded oil and other organic material that clings to it — was up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) deep on the seafloor, said Columbia oceanographer Ajit Subramaniam."
OK. So I click on the URL link. It takes you to a typical picture of the assembly of surface ships, piping, ROV's and sub sea floor plumbing we have seen a dozen times. BUT nothing about any data or otherwise as how much of what they have supposedly found. No pictures. No chemical analysis data, charts from spectrometers or other equipment.
And. They give no location as to where the sub supposedly was located. Bit strange taint it. Not even giving an approximate location as to where the study was conducted.
Then: "and signs that it may be hidden in large marine mammals"
Whaaaah. What the hell are they talking about.
