A large quantity of people dying at once seems tragic and all, but the lasting effect is quite minor.

minor?

Agreed with C3PX, though I think he meant "minor".

tell that to the people that lost loved ones on 911 and from Katrina.

The point is not that there would be dramas more important than others... C3PX has presented it the right way. The people you refer to may not agree at first, but if they come to be confronted to the eventual deseases resulting from such chemical cocktails as mentionned by the BP chaplain... Pfff... What to say ? Who can imagine seeing all living around you turn to such level of decadence ?!... And perhaps on many generations.

I also don't consider the lasting effects of having your home(and everything in it) destroyed(as happened to many in Katrina) as minor.

In comparison of what is profiled through the video (if you listen carefuly from start to end), it's Nothing. How can you compare btw, a "Hiroshima", because it is one, to the loss of material goods ?

To notice: It's been two weeks someone told me all plants and all animals (birds etc...) are falling dead around the Mississipi... I can't confirm, but perhaps someone will check if this information is right. However the discovery of the video from post 1 now give some matter to think about it.
