They don'y have time to spray the oil with chemicals to sink it to the sea bed and hide it from view.

And continue to happen.   Just collateral damage for a non-eco friendly energy source.  Profits are all that matter.  

 

Cleaning up (hiding spills) seems to be cheaper than operating with proper equipment that prevents oops.  Petroleum product are needed, but profits are more important than ethics.  Sad indeed.
