Link to news site the above translation is from.
This is from July 17, 2010 best as I can tell and I see someone linked the other thread.
Strangely the environmental activists always ignore the real threats and direct their lunacy at only the US for the most part. Truth is the US has made tremendous leaps in cleaning up the environment since my youth. It just keep improving here, but the fanatics simply don't give a damn about facts. Got to keep the kiddies scared and the money rolling in while at the same time completely ignoring the real threats like China. They like China so it's OK with them whatever China does. At least they give me that impression. The net result is rational people think them kooks and ignore them.
Since this was a quickly contained fire and the pipeline was shut down quickly, to compare this to the BP Spill is not honest.
The real story in China are the old style coal fired plants they built by the scores, creating a permanent brown cloud visible on satellite images. That combined with the countries south of them that still use wood adding to the mess. If the environmental groups were for real that's where they would be focuses their attention.

My god that makes me ill! China is one of the most censored countries in the world, it's not a surprise this isn't all over the news. This does need to spread though and quickly! Have you submitted these to any western media outlets?
Luan said the job would be finished in four to five days at best.
A total of 280 tonnes of oil has been collected by the local fishery department, and another 180 tonnes has been collected by the oceanic department, Luo said.
But the total amount of oil spilled into the sea remained unknown, he said.
A large quantity of oil spill dispersant and absorption felt have been shipped in from Tianjin and Shandong Province, maritime officials said.
Fire engulfed the harbor Friday evening, after an oil pipeline exploded and triggered an adjacent pipeline to explode as well. Flames raged for 15 hours before they were extinguished Saturday morning. No one was hurt in the explosions or subsequent fire.
A team was established Sunday morning to investigate the incident.
Clean up? That's a laugh.. My sister lives in New Port Richie Florida area and was telling me of how they have a crew that comes in every morning at 3am to clean the touristy portion of the beach and blocking access beyond the cleaned areas. She was telling me, a friend of hers works on the crew and explained to her that his boots are black with gunk every time they 'rake' the beach. If strays are caught wondering off the assigned area, they receive a hefty fine and jail for those with cameras trying to document the mess. Basically, that.. Sure they clean the beach but, what good does that do when the ocean is toast?
As she put it. "Anything from the gulf is now rotten, we can eat glowing pacific crab or eyeless shrimp from the gulf. Makes my mouth water!"
I fear anything short of benevolent aliens or Angels will leave us in the same boat. The clean up is beyond our potential. Earth is groaning in agony.

Geez, you all act so programmed. You see a few pictures and instantly you're buying to to the hype. Do any of you think for yourselves or even attempt to seek out the truth? For people who claim to be above brainwashing and indoctrination, you all seem so willing to accept whatever story your told, as long as it has emotional pictures with it.
