it's the american governemnts fault just as much as BP's so far as i'm concerned. when everyone suddenly starts putting 100% of the blame on BP all i figure is fuck it, not my beaches bahahahahaha.

with regard to that video about the security guards, if he did not give me information about who he is taking orders from and working for, then i think i'd have tried walking straight past, and if he put 1 finger on me i would have turned around and slugged him

NEW ORLEANS – It is an overlooked danger in the oil spill crisis: The crude gushing from the well contains vast amounts of natural gas that could pose a serious threat to the [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]Gulf [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]of [/COLOR][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]Mexico's[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] fragile ecosystem.
The oil emanating from the seafloor contains about 40 percent methane, compared with about 5 percent found in typical oil deposits, said John Kessler, a Texas A&M University oceanographer who is studying the impact of methane from the spill.
That means huge quantities of methane have entered the Gulf, scientists say, potentially suffocating marine life and creating "dead zones" where oxygen is so depleted that nothing lives.
"This is the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history," Kessler said.
Methane is a colorless, odorless and flammable substance that is a major component in the natural gas used to heat people's homes. [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]Petroleum[/COLOR][/COLOR] engineers typically burn off excess gas attached to crude before the oil is shipped off to the refinery. That's exactly what BP has done as it has captured more than 7.5 million gallons of crude from the breached well.
A BP spokesman said the company was burning about 30 million [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]cubic [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]feet [/COLOR][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]of [/COLOR][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]natural [/COLOR][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]gas[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] daily from the source of the leak, adding up to about 450 million cubic feet since the containment effort started 15 days ago. That's enough gas to heat about 450,000 homes for four days.
But that figure does not account for gas that eluded [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]containment [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]efforts[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] and wound up in the water, leaving behind huge amounts of methane. Scientists are still trying to measure how much has escaped into the water and how it may damage the Gulf and it creatures.
The dangerous gas has played an important role throughout the disaster and response. A bubble of methane is believed to have burst up from the seafloor and ignited the rig explosion. Methane crystals also clogged a four-story [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]containment [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]box[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] that engineers earlier tried to place on top of the breached well.
Now it is being looked at as an environmental concern.
The small microbes that live in the sea have been feeding on the [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]oil [COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]and [/COLOR][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]natural [/COLOR][COLOR=#0b5fa8 !important]gas[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] in the water and are consuming larger quantities of oxygen, which they need to digest food. As they draw more oxygen from the water, it creates two problems. When oxygen levels drop low enough, the breakdown of oil grinds to a halt; and as it is depleted in the water, most life can't be sustained.

Oh and fisherman pete, Your a faggot. That is all.

haha, i'd beg to differ :) america needs to stand up and take a bit of responsibility for once, and if they refuse, then i have no issue with the state of their beaches :)

yeah I was worried about that . . . . this oil looks like it's full of gasses . . . just look at the color of it from the live feed . . .fuckin disgusting.


and fisherman pete, this has much larger scale impacts than simply the beaches . . .

you know all that benzene and methane in the air could cause some serious fucking issues . . . .


you may be breathing that shit one day.

you're a fisherman and you can't sympathize with the impact this will have on the fishing industries & lives/income/health of countless fishermen along the gulf coast? are you that fucking thick or just a complete dickhead?

just wait till a nice 20 foot storm surge moves this mess a half mile inland.
it has not yet begun to suck.

I was thinking the same thing... I was also thinking about doing horrible, terrible, unspeakable things to the next person I see driving a Sport Utility by themselves for a 2 block trip to McDonald's.

Don't start blaming the UK for this.

The Deepwater Horizon was a 9-year-old semi-submersible Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), a massive floating, dynamically positioned drilling rig built by Hyundai Heavy Industries [19] that could operate in waters up to 8,000 feet (2,400 m) deep and drill down to 30,000 feet (9,100 m).[20] It was owned by Transocean, operated under the Marshalese flag of convenience, and was under lease to BP until September 2013.[21] At the time of the explosion, the Deepwater Horizon was drilling an exploratory well at a water depth of approximately 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in the Macondo Prospect located in the Mississippi Canyon Block 252, in the United States exclusive economic zone about 41 miles (66 km) off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico.[22][23][24][25][26] Production casing was being run and cemented by Halliburton Energy Services. Once the cementing was complete, it was due to be tested for integrity and a cement plug set to temporarily abandon the well for later completion as a subsea producer.[23][27] BP is the operator and principal developer of the Macondo Prospect with 65% of interest, while 25% is owned by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, and 10% by MOEX Offshore 2007, a unit of Mitsui.[28]BP purchased the mineral rights to drill for oil in Macondo at the Minerals Management Service's lease sale in March 2008.[29]


All those companies contracted to do work for BP are American, so yeah.

Im not blaming the UK im blaming the marshall islands for having shitty inspection and BP for knowing that and using them to get a quick inspection so the drilling can start.

Let's face it, Without human intervention, this may not have happened. Forget blaming companies and countries, this is a global problem that effects the entire world.

We've fucked with the ecosystem too much and now we're pretty much slapped ourselves in the face.

sure but in this case it's different bro . . . offshore drilling has been happening for years with no fuckups like this . .

there truly is someone to blame here, can't just say everyones at fault because this doesn't happen all the time . . .

I seen tony haywood ceo of bp on fox news,what a jerk.bp has had numerous fines from osha,why does it have to lead to devastation before the govt. decides that they need a better plan.2 other oil companys stated that they would not have drilled that well in that fashion.where were these guys 2 months ago. it makes me sick to see it,then it angers me.now there saying that there only alternative is to drill a relief well,why didnt they do that in the first place!!!! I HAVE TO STOP THIS REPLY BEFORE I DESTROY MY KEYBOARD OR BREAK MY FINGER AAAAAAGGGGGRRRRRHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ill drive my gas guzzler automobile until there is no oil left on earth. The BP spill and people driving cars not exactly the same "disaster"

Lets all boycot BP's gas!!
Who wants to start a BP Boycott Thread. I will be first to Reply

the problem with the boycotting is that BP gas doesn't necessarily have to be sold at a BP gas station . .. kinda hard to boycott it if you don't nkow if you're buying it or not.
