“17 environmental groups including Greenpeace found satellite images showing the oil spill started Feb 6 from a Pemex pipeline. Mexico didn't tell anyone until late March — a 6-week cover-up. 800 tons of oil spilled.”
Satellite images don't lie. Seventeen environmental groups including Greenpeace analyzed satellite data showing a massive oil spill from a Pemex pipeline beginning on February 6, 2026. Mexico's government didn't acknowledge the spill until late March — six weeks later. While they stayed silent, 800 tons of crude oil poisoned the Gulf of Mexico.
Environmental organizations used commercially available satellite imagery to trace the oil spill back to its origin: a Pemex pipeline. The satellite record is timestamped and geolocated. It shows oil spreading from a specific point on a specific date — February 6 — weeks before Mexico admitted anything happened.
For six weeks, oil spread through the Gulf of Mexico while Mexico's government said nothing. Marine life was exposed. Fishing communities were affected. And the government that was responsible for the infrastructure that caused the spill chose silence over disclosure.
Eight hundred tons of crude oil in the ocean. Turtles washed up coated in crude. Fish populations exposed to toxic contamination. Coastal ecosystems damaged in ways that will take years to recover. All while the government that caused it pretended it wasn't happening.
No one's said anything yet. Be the first to drop your take.
