For the next Google Earth, should add the implementation of Monster Milk Truck as the flight simulator, making the 3D solid models to give more reality, in the case of bridges, the truck can pass over or under.

Ironic this should occur so close to President Obama opening up more coastline waters for oil drilling. Drill baby drill has become spill baby spill. The high cost of oil just got higher.

Does anyone really know how bad the contamination really is (not that it has been a year since the spill)... some folks think that once the media finds a new thing to talk about, it must mean the problem was solved.
