Florida Oil Spill Time Lapse Series From Space



Florida Oil Spill Time Lapse From Space

Two satellites are delivering images of the Gulf oil spill near Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. The disaster began April 20, 2010. The Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded. The time lapse series shows a space-based view of the burning oil rig and the ensuing massive oil spill through May 24, 2010. We have previously posted links to High Definition shots from these sources.

We sent a team to one of the "Best Beaches in the World," the 2005 winner, Fort Desoto North Beach Park in Pinellas County, Florida and will show you exclusive video that location soon. We found no oil on May 30, 2010 during that photo and video shoot. We are also planning a trip to Louisiana to provide unfiltered first-hand reports.
