The European Space Agency said satellite images suggested oil could reach the coral reefs of the Florida Keys within six days.
"We have visible proof that at least oil from the surface... has reached the current," said Dr Bertrand Chapron.
Meanwhile, the US said it was having talks with Cuba over the spill.
Observers say the talks demonstrate a concern that the oil may be carried by currents far from the site of the Deep Horizon disaster.
"It is incumbent upon us to inform all of our neighbors, not just the islands, but those countries that could be affected by disasters that happen within our territorial waters," State Department Spokesman Gordon Duguid said.[/quote]
and BP is still doing shit
Facepunchers from Florida, grab a bucket and go grab some oil, it's getting expensive.
Poor coral reefs, surely it's detrimental to them.
Oil for everybody!
Well there goes my summer in Clearwater.
I'm gonna go collect some and then sell it :smug:

Cut your foot, and have painful animals surrounding them.
Wow, this is getting pretty big. I thought it'd blow over in a few days.
By the time it reaches Florida it's going to be in a sort of slime like state.
at least it's not drifting to europe.

If it gets caught in the Gulf Stream then it will.
ALL FLORIDIANS: BRACE YOURSELF, ARM YOURSELF, BARRICADE YOURSELF! WE SHALL FIGHT AGAINST THIS OIL MENACE WITH GUNS!

Both of them are complete port towns. Of course, half of the eastern seaboard should be on that map, too.

bollocks.
Can't we set it on fire?
You West Coast FloridaFags are goners. It's all sunny and blue water here on the east coast.
We've just got back from our Florida beach trip, so this won't affect us.
Although I LOVE fishing down there in the Gulf.
I feel sorry for the fishermen. :ohdear:
According to that map, there is already some oil on those gray squiggly shapes.
Florida now, coming up the east coast next. Welp, time to cancel summer plans. Seriously, I may have to cancel three fishing charters and a vacation. I was looking forward to them too since lately we barely have the money for that shit. I suppose I should be grateful I'm not a fish though.
Well either way, fuck you BP. This mess may not entirely be your fault, but clean that shit up and do it right this time, Jesus Christ.
Gulf is fucked.
[B][I]HARD[/I][/B]
you fucked up big time, anti-environmentalist americans.
I still say we should nuke it.
Jokes aside, BP is still pretty pissy about accepting outside help.
Owned and Operated by Transocean incorporated
built by hyundai heavy industries from south korea
blame goes to BP.
they're now being bastards about it, but don't blame the UK, nor them for it happening in the first place.

Every country that finds oil along its shores should send a gigantic bill to BP.
