I was so sad today when I saw hundreds of BP workers on the shoreline of Biloxi. The tar ball from the oil spill reached the beaches of Biloxi area. This will be the start of a domino effect here in our place. I just knew yesterday that Night Shift waitresses in the casino transferred to swing shift. They are affected since guests are not visiting casino more often due to crisis. Some small business had closed down especially those who rely on seafood industry. I will be posting pictures soon for you to see the action here in Mississippi.

Oil Spill Boom
The picture below is a set of boom used for oil spill in the Gulf Coast. Workers in Biloxi and Ocean Springs, Mississippi are ready to bring this boom as a containment. Boom is a temporary floating barrier used to contain an oil spill. It is used to reduce the possibility of polluting the shorelines and make the recovery easier.
Booms are also used to concentrate oil in thicker layers so that skimmers, vacuums, and all other collection methods can be used more effectively. Our place is free from oil spill yet. Thanks to those hard working men and women. They put their life at risk upon working in the health hazard area near the oil spill disaster of Deepwater Horizon under BP.

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico caused so much damages in the lives of people living in the coastal area in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. BP is responsible with all these mess. Since BP have no plan B when disaster like this happens and they are struggling to find solutions right now. It is more than two months and capping the source of the spill is a big problem. Here in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, the locals are still trying to live normal. Shown here is a family swimming since our shoreline is FREE from oil spill, yet. But, how long will this last? 
I hope BP will realize that this is a serious problem. Tony Hayward is so slow in his decision making and TIME is the essence here.

BP is a Failure
Fox News channel is showing the boom in Destin, Florida. I took this picture two weeks ago and people were splashing on the beach. This place is really awesome! Yet, on the day that I took this picture, the oil spill is less than 48 hours away from the shoreline. As I saw on the news, the local government had precautionary action done by using boom on the area. The beach is still open for the public. 
As of today, BP had failed to close the source of the oil spill. For 60 days, BP is really SLOW in the effort of solving the problem in connection to the disaster of Deepwater Horizon Exlposion. WHY? Why it took so long? BP is a British-based global energy company, the third largest energy company and the fourth largest company in the world. But, when it comes to disasters which their company is responsible, BP is the biggest failure ever! Do something ASAP!
