RETURN OF THE ROACH COACH

Summary:

It would have to be a last minute deal, we told Tim, who wanted to come to Panama from the States to shoot his first wahoo.  There were no guarantees that we could even get a boat, much less find any good weather or fish.

Petroleo en el Golfo! Oil in the Gulf!

Summary:

Quizas esta frase no tuviera nada de extraordinario excepto por el hecho que el petroleo en este caso ya no se encuentra en sus ricos yacimientos profundos en el fondo sino flotando en la superficie y bien en camino de contaminar miles de millas de costas norteamericanas.

Cuando la plataforma perforadora denominada “Horizonte Profundo” (Deep Horizon) propiedad de la compania Trans Ocean britanica BP (British Petroleum) y operada por la firma norteamericana Halliburton (principal contratista independiente en Irak y Agfganistan) se incendio a causa de una explosion provocando la tragica muerte de 11 de sus tecnicos.
