elfsOmaha didn't like Wednesday's XKCD, "Worst Case Scenarios," in which a scientist berates the press for seeking frission in the idea that the BP Disaster is going to cause the end of the world. As the scientist points out, we are in the midst of the worst-case scenario in the Gulf of Mexico, and the investigation should turn now not from frightening people about how the situation could get worse, but instead telling people what is happening, what is being done to stop it, and what is being done to find and hold responsible those who caused this disaster.
The press's response (in XKCD): "Screw this! Let's as Michael Bay."
Well, it seems they've done the next best thing. They've asked James Cameron. How can the director of Titanic and Pirahana II: The Spawning, possibly be of any help here? He had a film about a disaster, and he did a lot of filming in 10 meters of water for The Abyss. How does any of that help clean up a real disaster two kilometers underneath the sea?
