China: Oil Spill Prompts Warning
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: July 22, 2010
China’s largest reported oil spill emptied beaches along the Yellow Sea as its size doubled Wednesday. Cleanup efforts included straw mats and frazzled workers with little more than rubber gloves. An official warned that the spill posed a “severe threat” to sea life and water quality. One cleanup worker drowned, his body coated in crude. In the five days since a pipeline exploded at the northeastern port of Dalian, the oil spread over 165 square miles of water. State media have said no more oil is leaking into the sea, but the total amount of oil that was spilled is not yet clear.

Sounds like he's pretty much describing in the Gulf of Mexico what we can see in the pictures from China.
