Leaked! Videos Purported to be Flyover of Gulf Oil Spill Hits Internet – UPDATED

The videos were uploaded to YouTube under the anonymous user name: SpillOnSpilling

UPDATE: We have learned that this footage is not from the Gulf oil spill. A commenter points out: “This is footage from the film Petropolis: Aerial Perspectives on the Alberta Tar Sands showing the toxic lakes called ‘tailings ponds’ that are created in the process of extracting the crude oil bitumen from the sand and clay buried underground. The film has been released on DVD in Canada and is coming to audiences in the USA and UK soon.”

But, this does beg the question: Why DON’T we have aerial footage showing the extent of the oil spill?
