The Other Oil Spill

So much attention is focused on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, there is little attention given to the other side of the world where there is a big oil spill (OK, much smaller oil spill) over in Dalien, China. It is only one-four hundredth the size, but the pictures are dramatic. Click here to view the devastation.

It is interesting that the Chinese let this small oil spill look much worse than the Americans with their big oil spill. On second thought, maybe the American spill looks not as bad because it is offshore and really spread out when it comes ashore.

Update 2010jul28: Here are pictures of the cleanup effort.
