San Francisco Bay oil slick: LA TIMES, NY TIMES, SF CHRONICLE, & MARIN NDEPENDENT JOURNAL

It appears the Coast Guard was just as incompetent as the captain of the South Korean tanker. The oil leak began at 8:30 AM and it wasn't until 9 PM that the situation was properly explained and the gravity of the calamity was understood.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is on the line as well as Senator Boxer and Mayor Gavin Newsome. Of course many officials are screaming lawsuit but keep in mind that Exxon never paid Alaska after being sued over the Exxon Valdez spill and consequently they were allowed to get away with it.
