BP Leak

Down in New Orleans this weekend. Visited a site in Slidell, LA where BP has placed booms to prevent oil from reaching shore. The booms are similar in shape and size to a rope and buoy that separate the shallow and deep-end of a backyard pool. Our view is from top of a bridge maybe 50 feet high.
Side A of bridge: Protected....kinda
Side B of bridge: Not so much
In the distance are the oil skimming barges.
Staging area for the clean up.

Poor sons of bitches.
