Apparently an Oil tanker hit a column on the Bay Bridge causing a "medium sized" oil spill. One article mentioned that the wind is moving around oil globules and contaminating various areas of the bay.
It seems the Marina has been affected:

I heard about this yesterday on the News, but I didn't realize how big this was. Mayor Newsom and Sen. Barbra Boxer mentioned a lack of information as the key cause for the delayed reaction.
I'm kinda worried about the ducks I was feeding at Aquatic park last weekend.
thats so horrible for the environment. as if the bay weren't dirty enough already. fuck man. and why does it all sound SO shady? wtf is going on?
