Whats In The Photo:
Satellite radar image map showing oil apparently leaking from multiple sources, in a cluster of offshore platforms, on September 1, 2005 following Hurricane Katrina. Approximate center of source area 29.421989N/89.500911W (NAD27). Oil slicks are dark patches; platforms are very bright spots. Large bright areas are land.
Oh I’m gonna get a ton of use out of this link!
Thanks!
Your link there is a perfect example of the kind of liberal moonbattery that is dominant in the news.
They show a picture of an offshore oil rig, but the picture is debunked by the article’s words:
——————Katrina’s floodwaters lifted a refinery storage tank off its foundation and moved it more than 30 feet, causing a million gallons of oil to leak into surrounding neighborhoods.———————
I wonder if Dan Rather wrote that article. *chuckles*
