I'm not surprised, but so sad to hear this, LA.
 
Look at this BP, I have seen your commercials, showing people enjoying the beaches and the seafood. When I think about people eating seafood from this, it's makes me feel ill. This was only a cat 1 imagine what a cat 3 or 4 will bring up. Shame on you for saying what a great job you've done. Stop spending money on commercials bragging about a job you haven't finished yet. Oh by the way this has now spread to the shores of Alabama.

The oil is resting on the ocean bed just waiting for hurricane or storms to bring it ashore in the future! It doesn't break down in the cold and oxygen free ocean bed. The oil spill will haunt the gulf for years.

I feel so bad for the folks living in the gulf area. I saw this summer a picture of a beach house in the Gulf shores/Fort Morgan, Alabama area and it was sprayed with oil residue after a storm. The Gulf Shores/ Fort Morgan area was so beautiful and awesome before the BP spill. My family and I loved it!

I feel terrible for the people of Louisiana and Mississippi who suffered from the oil spill.

One big big reason we need to develop clean energy to reduce our dependence on oil drilling. We cannot continue to pollute our oceans for oil.

If we want a good future for our children we really really really need to support alternative energy solutions and recycling.

The coast of Alabama and Louisiana had globs of oil after hurricane Irene. I am glad that they plead guilty on all 14 counts but I think that 4.5 billion, is not enough. They make more than 100 billion yearly. They've been raising the price of gas for years. I hope those 11 families that lost their love ones are well compensated, not to mention the people who lost their businesses, the people who lost their jobs and the pollution of the entire gulf. Like you said it will be years before the Gulf is restored back to normal, if it is ever restored back to normal. Alaska still hasn't recovered from the Exon Valdez that occurred on Prince William Sound, when you pick up a rock on the shore there is still oil underneath and that happened back in 1989 over 20 years ago.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Two BP rig supervisors and a former BP executive pleaded not guilty Wednesday to criminal charges stemming from the deadly Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and the company's response to the massive 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico............

Kaluza and Vidrine are charged with manslaughter in the deaths of 11 rig workers. They are accused of disregarding abnormally high pressure readings that should have been glaring indications of trouble just before the blowout of BP's Macondo well.

Rainey was charged separately with concealing information from Congress about the amount of oil that was leaking from the well. .......more at link.......

Didn't he say he just wanted to get his life back, or something to that effect? So now he has to deal with what I hope ends up being a nasty divorce. I don't like wishing bad things on people but there is something about Hayward that just doesn't agree with my stomach. It's like eating bad eggs or something. What he has done to people and our ocean and all the life within it makes me ill. From the mouth of Ivanka Trump don't get even get everything.
 
Oiled pelican photo in "HOLD BP ACCOUNTABLE" ad greets Justice employees at Washington Metro station

(Warning: Distressing photo at link.)

&#8220;Americans from all walks of life reeled in horror as BP&#8217;s negligence sent more than 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico,&#8221; said Aileo Weinmann, associate communications director for the National Wildlife Federation, in a news release announcing the new ad campaign. &#8220;We&#8217;re sending a signal to staff at the Department of Justice to hold BP fully accountable for up to $50 billion in civil fines and penalties.&#8221;

Every time I see the commercials about coming back to the Gulf Coast, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and enjoy the seafood and the beaches my stomachs turns. I know that commercial fisherman, restaurants, and a lot of employees count on the gulf for survival and this is all they have. In the mean time the BP billionaires continue to make billions. I think we are going to have to start raising some of the fish on fishing farms until the ocean has a chance to heal. I know it's been more than 20 yrs. and Alaska has not fully recovered from the Exxon Valdez disaster on Prince William Sound. We need to stop talking about it and put our heads together and fix it. Oil spills continue to happen all over the world and we are losing thousands of species of fish, mammals, reefs and other ocean life.
 
Even though it is very 'Hollywood", Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy theory episode about the BP oil spill is a wealth of information. I can't help but enjoy his 'follow the money' line, as he exposes BP, Halliburton etc., for the parts they played and where the responsibility actually lies.

Very good watch.

I know socialism is frowned upon by a lot of people, but this is what I think:

I don't think there should be such a thing as billionaires. The average person won't earn 1 million in their entire life. I think that business people and other wealthy people should have a cap on how much money they can have in their lifetime.. say $50 Mil. That is more than enough.

Then, all the extra money can be taken and used for stuff like this. To clean up the ocean, to lower the debt ceiling, to get homeless people off the street, to help lower income people pay for medical bills etc.

The Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010 was the largest oil spill in U.S. history. Nearly three years after oil began gushing from the sea floor of the Gulf of Mexico, a large percent of the crude remains unaccounted for. New research suggests that as much as one-third of the oil released is still in the Gulf and is mixed with deep ocean sediments through a phenomenon known as the "dirty bathtub."..............

Jeff Chanton, a geochemist at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla., suggested that the oil acts to clump together particles in the water, causing surface materials to fall to the floor on a massive scale. This underwater rain of oily particles is known as a "dirty blizzard.".............

If the floor of the Gulf has absorbed as much oil as the researchers claim, it could have long-term effects on both humans and marine life. Some commercially-fished species survive on a diet of sediment creatures, meaning oil could stay in the food chain for generations. Bottom-feeders also churn up the sediment and could keep oil flowing on the ocean floor for years.

Just going to throw this out there, but have any of you watched Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory, tv show? He did a VERY interesting story on the gulf oil spill.

No, I haven't watched it...can you fill us in a little on what his theory is? Sounds intriguing...
 
Anthony Badalamenti, Former Halliburton Manager, Gets Probation For Destroying Gulf Spill Evidence

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/...ton-probation_n_4638121.html?utm_hp_ref=green

A former Halliburton manager was sentenced Tuesday to one year of probation for destroying evidence in the aftermath of BP's massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Anthony Badalamenti, of Katy, Texas, had faced a maximum of one year in prison at his sentencing by U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey.

The 62-year-old also has to perform 100 hours of community service and pay a $1,000 fine.

Badalamenti was the cementing technology director for Halliburton Energy Services Inc., BP's cement contractor on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. Prosecutors said he instructed two Halliburton employees to delete data during a post-spill review of the cement job on BP's blown-out Macondo well.

But... who ordered Badalamenti to give the instructions to others to delete data? I guess Badalamenti is being rewarded for keeping his mouth shut.
