BP Oil Spill Approaching Gulf Coast

[legalmania]

I'm pretty sure the oil has gotten into the gulf stream and oil will begin washing up in Tampa and then the Keys, I won't be surprised to start hearing oil found on Texas coast.

This is just to sad, our beautiful dolphins are dying along with who knows how many species. Here are some numbers to call. BP should order wildlife experts from around the world to start helping.

I'm afraid we will be hearing about the losses to life and livelihood for many years to come. I was incensed when I read the BP CEO saying he just wanted to get back to his normal life.

Mr. Man: You have no right to a normal life while our countries' coast line and the life residing in and around it is dying. Tourism and fishing destroyed. I feel no pity for the change to your life.

Prayers to everyone cleaning the area. Prayers to the volunteers attempting to save the injured animals. Prayers to the families who must weather this while it affects their livelihood.

They built the Deepwater Horizon on top of another well that had previous problems with a cement collapsed. How crazy is that? I see no more seafood in my future. I'll re-post the story.

"In a November 2005 accident where the Deepwater Horizon was positioned above another well in the Gulf, faulty cement work allowed wall-supporting steel casing to come apart. Almost 15,000 gallons (56,800 liters) of drilling fluid spilled into the Gulf."

Essies, thank you for sharing the video...at this time I must refrain from viewing it, I have cried so much in the past 2 weeks because of the suffering and loss of life to all the birds and marine life! Now they are saying that cutting the pipe created more oil being released and now there has been some type of pipe burst that BP is refusing to discuss...and if I hear that BP commercial one more time I just might jump out my window!!!!:furious:

Exxon Valdez lawyer..."Louisianians are just ked."

"f you were affected in Louisiana," said Brian O'Neill, an attorney with the firm Faegre & Benson, "to use a legal term, you are just f--ked."

More than any attorney in the country, O'Neill personally understands the implications of that imprecise legal term. For more than two decades, he represented fishermen in civil cases related to the now second-most-damaging spill in U.S. history: the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989. And from it, he learned valuable lessons about how to sue an oil giant for the damages it has caused -- above all, to push for the best and plan for the worst.

This is just so awful! :cry:

Where are the BP exes cleaning up at? Hmmm? Oh yeah, they wouldn't lower themselves to help clean....they just want their lives back to the way they were. OH BOO FREEKIN HOO HOO for them! :furious:

 

[essies]

I'm so sick of this disaster being called a "spill" or a "leak" - it's more like an underwater oil volcano!! BP went about 5000 feet down and drilled some say 25,000 feet into the earth-Lord knows what damage this might might have done to the tectonic plates. And if it isn't stopped or contained somehow-it will go around Florida and into the Atlantic and up the eastern seaboard!!:furious:

I don't want to go too OT but there was a report today on a major news channel (HLN, CNN can't remember) that another Oil Rig off Louisiana coast is leaking and there's now a 10 or 15 mile oil slick!

This is getting ridiculous! :furious:

Who knows what is going on, on the ocean floor. BP has lied so much and now the CEO is making commercials saying how sorry he is. That is not going to cut it. He finally took responsibility, a little bit to late. All the birds,turtles, dolphins that have lost their life,and people with no money, they now find themselves working for the same people who took away their livelihood because they cut corners. Alaska still has not fully recovered, when you lift a rock on the shore oil is still there. So imagine what this will do.

The images of the innocent wildlife and the people in the affected areas infuriates me. Almost as infurating is the sight I see nightly of the people continuing to gas up at the nearby BP station. Don't these people watch the news- or care? To be fair a lot of fine folks I am sure manage or own these stations. It just seems wrong somehow...

BP only wanted to save $5oo,ooo.oo and Dick Cheney made it possible!!

Second Gulf oil spill releasing 'small amounts,' federal officials say


By Paul Rioux, The Times-Picayune June 08, 2010, 7:36PM
Responding to reports of a 10-mile-long slick from a second Gulf of Mexico oil spill, federal officials said "small amounts of oil" have been leaking from wells that were connected to a production platform destroyed during Hurricane Ivan in 2004.

The 26 wells are controlled by New Orleans-based Taylor Energy, which has been working to plug and abandon them since an undersea mudslide spawned by Ivan toppled the oil platform nearly six years ago.

The Mobile Press-Register reported that a 10-mile-long slick emanating from the Ocean Saratoga rig at the site is visible in satelite images gathered by Skytruth.org, which first reported the leak on its website May 15.
http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/06/second_gulf_oil_spill_releasin.html

Taylor Energy denies dispersants are being used, and the MMS is naturally trying to downplay the issue. Coincidentally, Taylor bought the wells from BP. I'm not implying that BP is at fault because the wells were downed by Ivan.

Here's a news flash. :furious:
Gulf of Mexico oil leak may be bigger than BP says
By The Associated Press June 08, 2010, 9:03PM

While BP is capturing more oil from its blown-out well with every passing day, scientists on a team analyzing the flow said Tuesday that the amount of crude still escaping into the Gulf of Mexico may be considerably greater than what the government and the company have claimed.

Their assertions -- combined with BP's rush to build a bigger cap and its apparent difficulty in immediately processing all the oil being collected -- have only added to the impression that the company is still foundering in dealing with the catastrophe...

When asked why BP did not have containment systems on standby in case of a leak, BP spokesman Robert Wine said there was no reason to think an accident on this scale was likely.
