  • I used to fly out here when practicing low-level desert flight (helicopters, I was an aircremwan).

    We would land right next to the lake but not overfly it. At night, it was like a perfect mirror.

    But man did it smell, it was eerie af, and the dust sometimes made all your gear stink for days.

    I seem to recall an orange? grove that grew next to where we would land. I always wondered if it’s proximity to the Salton Sea affected their taste.

    It continually got worse and worse, and this was back in 2003-2012, while I was out there.

    Edit: One of my favorite photos, of a sign, where we would land.

    Yes, those are bullet holes, no not from us.





  • So you don’t find it questionable that this happened a week ago yet the most they’ve found is a couple hundred gallons?

    And all these sites that claim a million, in their headlines, all say lower in their stories that there is no actual measurement and that it is only potentially?

    I feel it undermines the issue when people are dishonest. I consider these headlines to be dishonest.

    I regret engaging that one idiot that claims dispersants were used by BP to submerge the oil so people can’t see it.

    That’s the kind of disinformation and dishonesty that makes it so difficult to have real outcomes. All the noise drowns out the signal.
