Thanks, BP.........

[TehBorken]

Thanks for f*cking up the world and killing off truckloads of birds, fish, and other animals. Thanks for destroying the shoreline for hundreds of miles. Thanks for crashing the eco-system for years to come. And thanks for being too incompetent to shut off your own f*cking oil well. It's been a month and a half- how 'bout you get someone down there who knows what the f*ck they're doing?









Yeah, we noticed.

Sad part is this is nothing to what is still to come from this oil well leak

    And the US wants to drill in Alaska......NO f*ckING WAY

[Orik]

would a mother of all bombs be useful to seal it.. blow a hole in the earth and pray it collapses in on its self.. and a mother of all bombs is not a nuke so it is relatively safe right


every thing else has failed time to cut the looses and why not blow it up and let the resulting rock seal it.. it couldn't possibly make it any worse could it...

  A prominent Houston attorney with a long record of winning  settlements from oil companies says he has new evidence suggesting that  the Deepwater Horizon's top managers knew of problems with the rig  before it exploded last month, causing the [a href="vny!://motherjones.com/category/primary-tags/bp" target="_blank"]worst  oil spill in US history[/a].

Tony Buzbee, a lawyer representing 15 rig  workers and dozens of shrimpers, seafood restaurants, and dock workers,  says he has obtained a three-page signed statement from a crew member on  the boat that rescued the burning rig's workers.

The sailor, who Buzbee  refuses to name for fear of costing him his job, was on the ship's  bridge when Deepwater Horizon installation manager Jimmy Harrell, a top  employee of rig owner Transocean, was speaking with someone in Houston  via satellite phone. Buzbee told [em]Mother Jones[/em] that, according  to this witness account, Harrell was screaming, "Are you f*cking happy?  Are you f*cking happy? The rig's on fire! I told you this was gonna  happen." Whoever was on the other end of the line was apparently trying to  calm Harrell down. "I am f*cking calm," he went on, according to Buzbee.  "You realize the rig is burning?"[/p] At that point, the boat's captain asked Harrell to leave the bridge.  It wasn't clear whether Harrell had been talking to Transocean, [a href="vny!://motherjones.com/category/primary-tags/bp" target="_blank"]BP[/a],  or someone else.[/p] "[a href="vny!://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2010/06/rigs-fire-i-told-you-was-gonna-happen"]The  rig's on fire! I told you this was gonna happen[/a]!"

Hmm  Don't know how I missed this thread.  

It is heartbreaking to watch this mess day after day.  I cannot for the life of me understand why they aren't doing more. I mean with the clean-up.  (at least that is how it appears)

I wonder how feasible it would be to surround the leak with a rigid core cylinder fitted with a giant soft vacuum type 'hose' and deal with storage or containment on the surface.  I know it sounds ridiculously simple, but on the other hand, it seems viable. It doesn't even have to be attached at the point of the leak.  It just has to surround it.

The funniest part (if any of this can be terms "funny") is that Sarah Palin blames environmentalists for the spill. Yes, you heard me right. Those dang environmentalists are who's at fault. I'm not making this up.

Her next revelation will probably be that "rape victims brought it on themselves".

[H1]Exxon CEO blames BP[/H1]

The CEO of U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil said Tuesday that the Gulf oil spill wouldn't have happened if BP had properly designed its deepwater well, followed procedures, trained its employees and conducted adequate tests.

 Rex Tillerson testified before a U.S. congressional panel examining offshore drilling safety.

 Also speaking before the House Energy and Commerce Committee were CEOs Lamar McKay, of BP America, John Watson of Chevron, James Mulva of ConocoPhillips and Marvin Odum of Shell Oil. McKay did not address Tillerson's comments in his formal address to the panel.

 Tillerson said BP's procedures with the Deepwater Horizon well "represents a dramatic departure" from the normal procedures taken by deepwater oil explorers.

 Tillerson said the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker spill changed the way his company operated and that Exxon doesn't go ahead with operations "if we cannot do so safely."

 Little sympathy from lawmakers

 Tillerson's attempt to distance his company from BP drew little sympathy from lawmakers.

 They complained that oil spill response plans of the nation's five largest oil companies are nearly identical — and inadequate.

 The appearances before the committee came the same day that ratings agency Fitch downgraded BP because of worries about the costs of the continuing Gulf of Mexico spill.

 BP shares were trading down 32 cents, or one per cent at $30.35 US on the New York Stock Exchange at 11:12 a.m. ET.
