BP Oil Spill Day 44 - NatGasWatcher
I must admit I’ve been guilty of almost not paying enough attention to what is going on with the BP oil spill the past few weeks. Part of me thinks I was possibly wanting to ignore it simply because it felt like this was going to be such an intense catastrophe that I wanted to pretend like it wasn’t happening and hoped their numerous attempts to plug the well would eventually work. Well now that they are saying it could be until August I think everyone needs to stay updated on this. It really makes me sick to my stomach, especially when thinking about the huge loss of wildlife in the Gulf and all the families down South whose livelihood depends on the Gulf.

Disaster Defined

An occurrence causing widespread destruction and distress; a catastrophe.

A disaster is a perceived tragedy, being either a natural calamity or man-made catastrophe. It is a hazard which has come to fruition. A hazard, in turn, is a situation which poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or that may deleteriously affect society or an environment.

In the modern world, the traditional view of natural disasters as punishments for human wickedness has given way to the scientific study of the causes of seemingly unpredictable acts of nature. In recent years, however, scholars have placed more emphasis on the roles played by greed and indifference to potential human suffering in many seemingly "natural" disasters.
