Even though the residents of the Gulf are still suffering from the oil spill and will likely continue to feel it’s effects for years to come, the Media and thus the world is starting to lose interest. Maybe it’s time to do some reflecting and some rethinking concerning the seriousness of what we’ve seen, or what we yet may see!
First off I’m not a geologist. If you are and you’re reading this, please correct my misunderstandings. Oil, gasses and other liquids we pull from underneath the ground, or “seabed” in this case, must leave a “space”.

A recent comment on one of my good friend Ray Ward’s reports, has encouraged me to communicate with you these following words:
In a recent book, and a film, called The Other Side of Heaven, John H. Groberg tells the story of an elderly Tongan sailor.

At 6:34 UT on February 27,2010, an 8.8 earthquake hit offshore of Maule, Chile near the city of Conception’.

This earthquake, the largest in 50 years and one of the largest ever recorded in modern times, was unique among many earthquakes of these past few decades.
As the reports came in concerning the efforts by Chilean authorities to cope with this huge disaster, we realized why their efforts were met with such daunting challenges. Thanks to the efforts of the nation’s people to upgrade their country’s building codes, perhaps many hundreds of thousands of lives were saved. However, what faced this nation in terms of sheer destruction was, I feel, perhaps unequaled in modern history, for such a small nation.
