Condolences to the family, relatives, friends, ... of this man who was a hero, like everyone is who tried to fight the biggest disaster human mankind has ever faced.
Newsstories say
A captain of one of the boats cleaning up in the Gulf, has commited suicide. He couldn't cope with the destroyed environment he saw.

But he said it's not surprising the oil spill had weighed heavily on his mind, as it has on many local fishermen no longer able to support themselves with deep-sea sport fishing trips for marlin and the like, Vinson said.
This man has seen things that are been hided by BP from the public by censoring the press which isn't obliged to enter these areas!
I feel so for this man, his family and everyone who is a victim of the oil leak directly or indirectly... And after all we will all be.
Although I can understand why this man has done this. We really must avoid to make irreversible decisions like that.
This way, BP takes benefit of it in my opinion because this man who was so emotioned by this (who would not??? and we don't know what he has been going trough so we can't judge) is no death. Normally emotions can be an incentive to make people act. But if you commit suicide... you can't act anymore. So anyone who thinks this is a solution: it is not!! It only helps the responsibles for the disaster they created, because now a potential enemy of them is not existing anymore.
What we need to do is, having those feelings and using them to act, act and act. We need to organise ourselves as quickly as possible to stop this madness at the Gulf!!! Now!!!
Please let's collect on whatever website or place alltogether, so that we can coordinate our actions, before any more victim falls!!!!
(And sorry for this chaotic message but I am shocked myself a bit.)
