      A respirator, come on. Bit of over kill and drama. I appreciate the efforts but really. A respirator?

      I agree. It's certainly extreme, but too good to pass up.

      Some people can be hyper-sensitive to various chemicals... who knows??

      Did you smell the oil when you took the photo? I work near pier 23 and we could smell it from inside our building. It smelled like someone was pouring tar nearby, then we later heard it was from the spill.

      Faintly. It wasn't too strong, but when you catch a whiff of it, you know. To me it smells like straight fuel.
