The most amazing thing, to me
is how it went on for months under the radar because the gas was invisible. Only when somebody used an IR camera to make the plume visible are we suddenly hearing about an environmental disaster comparable to Deep Horizons.
I'm glad those special cameras are available to show what's going on. But I'm appalled at how easy it was to sweep it under the rug. What would we be saying about BP and the neutered government regulators if they'd been able to keep their drilling rig disaster a secret for months? Wow.
