Vanishing Louisana Coastline

I was shocked a couple of years back when I had a look at Google Earth / Google Maps satellite views of the Louisiana coastline. It certainly doesn't look the way that they show it in textbooks and on weather maps. This great little flash movie tells the whole story in less than 10 minutes. For fun zoom in and see how many canals have been dredged (by oil companies?).
