Normal People Doing Great Things on the Gulf! Operation Noah's Ark

Here's some news that's finally good news on the Gulf. I think it's safe to say that in the end it will be the people of the Gulf who truly clean up BP's mess.

Thank you for posting this mate - though its no surprise this thread has garnered such little attention

Nonetheless, its heart-warming to know that some creatures calling the Gulf home will live to see their home restored once again.

It is selfless people like this who I really hope received some of the love and positive energy sent the Gulf's way over the last few months.

As for BP refusing to assist them financially, well, all I can say is that I hope the world learns of this fact....

Otherwise though - a BIG thumbs up

I thought it was odd that he referred to the living creatures as "the things" and (eventually releasing) "this stuff".

I am also curious as to the location and where the seawater to fill the tanks was being pumped from. Could it be water that is contaminated with corexit and crude?

I honestly didn't figure it would get much attention because it's not fear mongoring but I thought it was worth posting since it's the first news that's actually good from the Gulf and that in many cases the citizens get overlooked in the whole situation.

Excellent! It is the people who will clean this up. Waiting around and complaining about BP and the government not doing enough will help nothing!

I know. No-one would admit to it but the majority of ATSers enjoy the fear, the horror and the chaos. That's their choice and i got no problem with them, but it is a shame.

Oh well, it put a smile on my face at least mate so thanks again

Hi, I live a few miles from this facility and have met Mr. Rudloe and he is not normal (in a good way). I know the kids love to visit his place and, I am glad he is upgrading. The water is fine here and it looks like the ark wont be necessary.
