I'm sorry, if you don't click the link. Those who are not curious shouldn't bother.

Cliffs:
  • Slide show of oil spill pictures
  • "Frog man" tells story of how the Deep Water Horizon oil platform blew up, sank and started the oil spill
  • Angry woman (who says f**k and p***y a lot) talks about proper oil booming techniques and how BP is doing it wrong
  • She then blames:
    • BP for not knowing what they are doing,
    • The media for not knowing what proper booming is supposed to look like
    • The previous Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Thad Allen for supporting BP and not ensuring that they are using proper booming techniques
    • President Obama for not getting on BP's case and not firing Admiral Allen.
That pretty much sums it up.

My question is this, why hasn't BP taken their collective heads out of their a** and swallowed their pride and asked for help from other oil companies. I'm sure any major oil company would glad come in and save the day, it would be stupid not to, not only can you use it as a marketing tool ("We saved the Gulf of Mexico and the world from the worst ecological disaster in the history of man") but they can use it as a bargaining chip to get first dips on any and all of BP's assets when they go bankrupt from this.

I'd also like to know why anyone would sabotage an offland oil rig, that's just stupid. Are they saying that it was terrorists, hippies, or BP themselves that did the sabotaging? I've only been psuedo following this, not because it doesn't effect me, but because I've been stupid busy with work lately.

There is no saving the Gulf/world from this, it's too late now. I know that what's done is done, but BP should have started working on the relief wells the moment that their first attempt to plug the leaks failed. Yet, it's been over a month and now is when they decide to build their two relief wells, which are scheduled for completion in August. That means that there is a great chance that oil will be gushing into the ocean for at least three months, as nothing has successfully stopped the leaks yet. If BP's next effort to stop the leaks fails, it could result in 20-30% oil flowing into the water.

Since the leaks can't/won't be stopped for a few more months, appropriate action needs to be taken to contain and clean up the spill, which is what the video in the OP is getting at. The booming is being done wrong, and all of the oil is washing up the shoreline anyway. Also, airplanes have been dropping a chemical dispersant into the water which supposedly made the oil disappear. I'm not the scientist type, but I know that oil generally isn't just going to disappear... Turns out I was right, as the chemical and oil are forming little granules and sinking - it'll be absolutely wonderful to have that muck sitting on the bottom. :tisk: This video shows what I'm talking about.

We've been lucky here in Florida that we haven't had any oil reach our coast yet, but I'm disappointed, however not surprised, to see that BP doesn't know how to contain this spill and protect the coast. What does surprise me however, is that nobody - meaning BP, the Coast Guard, and the government in general - doesn't really give a d*mn about the environmental nor economic impact of the spill. I, for one, don't want to go swimming nor fishing in oily waters.
