This looks like the beginning of the end for BP and deserevedly so too

Yeah, but what about the about the other Houston buildings near the Energy Corridor? Wouldn't they at least be destroyed by the shockwave?
You know, the guy who founded BP was also the first to drill for oil in the Middle East. Therefor, in my mindset, we can also blame BP for the fucked up mess in the Middle East, as well. Therefor, we need to send them the bill for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

..mmhh, somewhere in this area the *gulf-stream* changes direction.
That means : If the oil reaches the open atlantic ocean, it could be *pickedup* by the gulf-stream to be carried north, so within some weeks we could have a problem at European coastal areas too ...
If it hits The Netherlands first, we have the FreeOnes Oil Expert, he can go where BP fears to tread

Re: oil leak
Yes, we are. But we can prolong it a little by stop being so self destructive as a species.
BTW, where are all the groups that are usually the first to be in the spotlight when it comes to these kinds of environmental disasters?? They have been very quiet for a spill larger than the Valdez..... :dunno:

We need a Hollywood fundraiser... now!
That will fix everything.
Oh wait... the spill is impacting red states, so they don't care...

BP don't care about how long this will take. BP don't care that there mistake was in the backyard of the largest energy consumer(USA). BP don't care that they are destroying lives and this planet. If a hurricane strike than all the oil and chemicals will reach far inland and could have devasting effects. In short FUCK BP!!!!!
SURE FUCK BP ! They dont even fullfill lowest safety-standards on their rigs. ( cause they don´t have no money ) .
:rofl:But I´m sure they will get told a lesson they´ll never forget. To me that looks like the beginning of the end of BP.
There is plenty of blame to go round on this enviormental disaster.BP ,the govt and lastly one you don't hear about much, the people who consume all this oil (some more than others) but all who consume are at fault.
Will we now get a big push to reduce the consumption of oil like getting (by law or gas taxes if necessary) people to buy more fuel effeicnt vehicles(much fewer suv's and pick up trucks)? I'm not holding my breath.
Or see a crash program of building nuclear power plants (the only truly large non enviormental damaging energy resource on the horizon)? Again not holding my breath.
So next time you gas up that less than 30 mpg vehicle,think of the gulf,the fisherman,the wildlife etc and say to yourself I am part of the problem along with a lot of other people.But again we know that won't happen don't we,BP and the govt are easier and less painfull to put all the blame on.

That´s the way the gulf-stream works, just see map. In the mexican gulf you got the so-called * loop current * it turns (mostly ) clockwise. So the loop current * shovels * the oil in the direction to the gulf-stream . Means : the 1st getting hit are the coastal areas of florida + georgia , after this if the oil hits the gulf-stream it´s possible to cross the atlantic ocean to reach Europe.

I think this is a good point. Ultimately though, not enough people will stop using gas and oil to make a difference. However, I'm going to try and cut down on the times I drive my car. Instead of driving to the gas station, I'll walk or hop on my bike, etc. Either way, we need to find a different source of energy. The sooner, the better. Obviously.

As expected.
I think that we'll have oil gushing out of that cell until Aug. or until these guys get another parallel well drilled.
Anyhow, while all of this excitement is taking place, I venture back to how this fucking gargantuan catastrophe happened in the first place and I'm simply not buying what the government has to offer.
Think about this, from a strategic point of view, Could our enemies have found a better, more crippling and more vulnerable target of ours to hit? How could this have not been precisely calculated? and I mean precisely! This fucking thing is going to cost into the trillions of dollars all during a time when we're already bankrupt as a nation.
Would an American president, not just obama mind you, a-n-y president, ever have the courage to admit that this was an attack if in fact it was? I don't thiiink so.
Do you want more? Well good, I'll post it later, it's time to watch the ''Danica 500'' :o
Nobody listened to these groups after Exxon Valdez. What are they supposed to say, "See, I told you so." Wouldn't that just anger idiot America now? :dunno:
We have to stop the oil gush. We need to clean up the beaches and the sea. And we need to sue the shit out of BP and all companies associated with this disaster. There needs to be executives going to jail for this mess.
As expected.

It is unacceptable if the only solution to stop this gusher is to drill another well.
I'm not buying that. I think a different oil company, Shell or even Exxon, should be consulted on how to stop this fucker now. BP needs to be hauled away to prison. They have failed miserably. The evidence coming out right now doesn't support a theory of terrorism. There are emails and memos detailing a lot of cost cutting and warning signs about methane gas pockets that went ignored by BP.
Would terrorists rent a sub and plant C-4 underwater? Meh. I don't think so.

what the fuck you lookin at?
Thats the part that makes me sick.
I just read from a VERY reliable source that they're going to honour Gary Coleman's last wish, and use his body to plug the broken pipe.
Wait, what?
Wait, what?
why can't they be made to clean it fast and safe....

OK, gang, does anyone else think this stinks to high heaven? If it'd been the last administration, we'd have no end of 'truther' folks coming out of the woodwork about what really happened... something that's never happened before, no valid model has been shown to we the people, & that has led to an unstoppable ******* of oil ruining the gulf? too convenient... & BP seems to be happily playing along...
Ask the Soviets how they stopped Chernobyl... a Huge mass of concrete... Hell, just move upstream on the leaking pipe & crush off the supply there... seems someone is too interested in protecting the leaky terminus, which raises the question, is it as bad as we're being told, or is it for political or industrial capital?

I have to disagree with you here my friend..IMO the blame for this rests solely on BP's shoulders. From what I have read they adopted a "run to failure" mentality when it comes to maintaining this rig.....and it did fail and bit the in the ass.....and they did not have any solution plans in place to handle it properly.
Blame the government? We are still recovering from 8 years with a President whose family is in the oil business....you don't think there were some laws passed during that time giving oil companies more free reign to cut corners to maximize profits? Although I bet there will be some legislation coming down the pike in the near future to address safety and the need for emergency plans.
Blame the consumer? It was not our dependence on oil that caused these greedy motherfuckers to run their company the way they do.:2 cents:
