Would have never known about this save for stumbling on it over the news wire.

I guess we are not barrraged with news coverage becuase "its over there".


BEIJING – China's largest reported oil spill had more than doubled by Wednesday, closing beaches on the Yellow Sea and prompting an environmental official to warn the sticky black crude posed a "severe threat" to sea life and water quality.

Yeah, I heard about this earlier on the World Service, it's just not the PRCs month, first the flooding and now a hefty oil spill.

And for three Chinese police officers, an epic fail has occured:

Any connection to BP?

If so Obama will be angry/pleased.

Too busy golfing to notice, next question.

@ Steed, before obama sucks bp dry, have you saved enough money to come to the subsim meeting?:hmmm:
