Gulf Oil Spill
BP has 11 clean up crews now in Pensacola, Florida, after tar balls were reported on the beach in the coastal town. The containment cap is sort of working, says BP and they are proceeding with the other efforts in drilling relief wells and the ongoing surface cleanup. Meanwhile birds and other animals in Louisiana have been dying covered in crude oil.
This video is from the Associate Press and contains information about the tar balls in Pensacola.
Officials in Pensacola want to reiterate that the beaches there are open and that the tar balls are minor.

The Washington Post has done a great job with their TimeSpace web application using Google Maps to give a timeline of the BP Gulf Oil Spill. We found it best in full screen, but you can try it either way and reload the page if you can’t see some of the features.
The application allows you to see other media agency reports and even Flickr pictures from the public. Scroll through the timeline or click on the icons to open up a wheel which will allow you to dig deeper into the subject.
