“I’m not a negative person,” he says. “I’m just scared right now. No one really knows what’s happening. From what we see on the surface, NOAA and the oceanographers can estimate what’s coming out of the rig. But BP has denied scientists access to the footage of the gushing leak below the surface, so there’s no way for us to know the actual realistic scale of the damage that’s still happening. NOAA is a government administration! Why isn’t Obama stepping in and demanding that footage, demanding a live view of what’s going on?… I never talk about politics, but right now is a time to be angry and sad. There are countless people, children and families, who depend on that Gulf. It’s their livelihood. I’m afraid for them.”
