July 2nd, 2010At least they have some nice accommodations: Banned FEMA Formaldehyde Trailers Return for Latest Gulf Disaster.
Via: Business Insider:
Are you sure that you want to help clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? In a previous article we documented a number of the health dangers from this oil spill that many scientists are warning us of, and now it has been reported on CNN that the vast majority of those who worked to clean up the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska are now dead. Yes, you read that correctly. Almost all of them are dead.
It amazes me that people don’t think before they leap. When I saw the 911 images on TV, the first word that came in to my mind was “Asbestos”. My inner idiot child said, DON’T GO THERE!!!
Friends of mind wanted to go, I just mentioned a few things about the air quality and who’s going to pay for it if you get sick etc.. They didn’t go and they’re still here 🙂
However, I feel bad for the people in the towers and anyone suffering because of this oil spill.
