Eyewitness account of an oil spill

This is transfixing. John Wathen is an award winning photo journalist who toured NZ in 2013 recounting his experience both on the ground and in the air documenting the catastrophic 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. John flew out over the gulf in a light plane and captured the event as it was unfolding resulting in some amazing footage and images of the worst environmental disaster in America s history. His presentation contains some blunt warnings and important lessons for New Zealand as we consider the threat of deep sea oil drilling in our waters in the near future.
