The hunt

Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING beats Nature. And this BBC video shows just another reason why. The camera work is top-notch, the suspense is real, and the pay-off is spectacular.

Yes, the Wilmington Oil Field in the LA basin is purportedly the 3rd largest in the US in terms of cumulative oil produced - over 90% of its oil has been depleted.

This video is superb.
So good, that I am tempted to ask if it is real.
(Er... it is right? Now I just feel dumb.)

BD/DSC, very interesting. It does not surprise me, though, that you have heard of it.

L, yes the video is real. You should really check out some of the videos commissioned by BBC, especially the Planet Earth series. Human imagination has got nothing in comparison to what Nature has conjured up.
