Here it is: videographic evidence of massive amounts of oil and Corexit all over the Gulf beaches, both before and after Hurricane Lee. I want to emphasize that this is happening NOW. These are not shots from 2010. If you ask me, this is pretty damning evidence that the BP Gulf spill is not cleaned up–and that oil in the Macondo Prospect could still be gushing through cracks in the sea floor. Why this is not major news is beyond me.
Thanks go out to the photographers and videographers who captured these images. (Credits can be viewed by clicking through to YouTube.)
