The pictures and colors were asthetically pleasing and helped illustrate the events of the disaster. It may have been interesting to find out what people's reactions were and what immediate action was taken.

This page was well done and put together very good. I think that there should have been a little more information about how they cleaned up the whole oil spill mess, but very well done.
