Well if it's faked that's pretty damn underhanded.... and no need to be so nasty & condescending about it. Not everyone who is online know HOW to "check the source", you know.

As is most of the information published by unknown sources on the internet. Sorry for the condescending attitude. Just a bit tired of the fear tactics many are resorting to during this event. If it seems a bit out there then in reality it probably is. Don't get me wrong. This is having a huge impact to the environment. But most if not all of these doom and gloom scenarios are bull****, mostly constructed to help with pushing someones agenda.

I suggest you go back and read your own post about spreading crap before complaining really.

I don't think anybody here is resorting to fear tactics, there is no need for that. Even if those vids are fake, this has got to be a huge disaster and who knows if the gulf will ever be the same. After looking up a few C-F threads from the states most affected by this disaster from first hand witnesses, it does not sound good.

Sure there's a need. The worse that some groups can make this look the better off they are when it comes to pushing an agenda. If there wasn't why are some posting fake videos in reference to raining oil and blantanly taking footage out of other documentaries? Not to mention those blogs referencing a wall of flames if there were a hurricane, etc etc.
