The following are 30 shocking quotes about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill that reveal the soul-crushing horror this disaster is causing....
#1) Councilman Jay LaFont of Grand Isle, Louisiana:
"As long as you have something to look forward to, a little glimmer of hope, you can move on. But this just drained everything out of us."
#2) Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish:
"They said the black oil wouldn’t come ashore. Well, it is ashore. It’s here to stay and it’s going to keep coming."
#3) Prosanta Chakrabarty, a Louisiana State University fish biologist:
"Every fish and invertebrate contacting the oil is probably dying. I have no doubt about that."
#4) Marine toxicologist Dr. Susan Shaw, director of the Marine Environmental Research Institute on BP's use of chemical dispersants:
"They've been used at such a high volume that it's unprecedented. The worst of these – Corexit 9527 – is the one they've been using most. That ruptures red blood cells and causes fish to bleed. With 800,000 gallons of this, we can only imagine the death that will be caused."
#5) Dr. Larry McKinney, director of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies in Texas:
"Bluefin tuna spawn just south of the oil spill and they spawn only in the Gulf. If they were to go through the area at a critical time, that's one instance where a plume could destroy a whole species."
