One more oil spill threatening the pristine waters and the fragile ecosystem of the beautiful islands of the Lakshwadeep of the coast of India.... This is starting to get on everyone's nerves.

You're right it's way to coincidental.

So far we have :

The Gulf Coast BP Disaster
The Gulf Coast Louisiana Marsh Incident
The Kalamazoo river spill in Michigan
The Japanese oil tanker that was hit by something

Anyone care to add more...

If it wasn't for the BP oil spill all these other ones would go by the wayside but it sure does seem like something is amiss .

This year will go down in history for having the most oil spills or not .

Is it truly something amiss, coincidentally too many for comfort or are we simply more attuned because of the Gulf spill? I wondered the same thing here and it appears that's it's been occurring for a long time. I'm not saying it's absolute proof but rather something to consider.
