Is this what we are waiting for? It will come, no doubt about it!

Due to old and bad construction the Prestige ship starts to brake-up in a storm in 2004 in the big waves in the Atlantic ocean...














Prestige leaves a deadly oily stream after it before the final disaster hits...













Final disaster, ship breaks up into two halves....













Oil has reached the beaches, tons and tons of oil, heavy, difficult to handle, poisonous and deadly...


















Is this scenario what we have to face as we are not prepared?
Why not get prepared, it will be much more "economically feasible" and far more intelligent to be prepared even for years in advance, than not to have anything to work with as the disaster hits. Since there is no doubt it will come.
In the Prestige case, lots and lots of equipment was sent from all over Europe to Spain to collect the oil but the main problem was that there was not enough skilled and trained people to use the equipment. Not very clever in the year 2004. Have we learnt anything from this case now in the year 2006? Have we? I doubt it...

Should we start doing something?
