John L. Walthen and companions take a helicopter trip out over the Gulf of Mexico.

“This was the most emotionally disturbing video I have ever done!

A flight over the BP Slick Source where I saw at least 100 Dolphins in the oil, some dying. I also photographed a Sperm Whale covered in oil all around it’s blow hole.”

“At 17 miles out, it was obvious that the entire Gulf was covered at this point. There was no more clean water.”
