there was train wreck yesterday about 45 min from where I live, by the shore of Wabamun lake. noboduy got badly hurt, but intire lake is now fucked. the train was carying 1000s of gallons thick tar like oil, and al this oil went staight into the lake. so much oil spilled that their is a 5 mile x 1 mile oil slick on it. The lake itself is about 5 miles wide, and maby 15 or so long. im just stark raving pissed right now, i go to that lake just about every weekend. its going to take years to clean this up e. im in aw right now, dont know else to write

its estimated that 1.3million litres of oil spilled, so around 325 000 gallons http://www.canada.com/edmonton/edmo...d=a2fd101f-3b0c-4f1c-a68a-7ed39e5aee9b&page=1
amazing i had to actually google it in order to find it in the news,,,,, hadn't heard about it or seen it anywhere til you mentioned it
They need to burn it off while its still floating. The atmosphere can rehabilitate itself more efficiently then a lake. The life below the surface should be safe if its a fast burn(depending on the depth of the water), and life above the surface will avoid the flames. Sucks, but its the lesser evil.
