Click the link, put's the oil spill into perspective.

If you center it on London it's also fun.

I don't know which is worse, visualizing it where I live or seeing the oil gushing out of the pipe.....:(

I refuse to watch the webcams because it'll just depress me. Growing up on the Gulf Coast when it was slightly affected by a spill was bad enough - and that was just tar balls on the beach, very minimal effect on wildlife.

Our Texas beaches are pristine at the moment but that could change:

Oh - if I move the spill, it'd take out most of North Korea, but it would completely destroy the Netherlands. :(
