Fuck, all BP is interested in is to retrieve/recover the oil. Screw the leak, and screw the environment.

There's a sunken oil rig near by, why don't they just drag it on top of the leak? Or sink an old cruise ship on it? It may not stop the leak but at least sufficiently slow the leak plug it up with cement

Not really racist! 06-03-2010 08:07 PM

BP's efforts are fucking pathetic, in the end its all about the money and in the end its going to be us that are going to suffer the consequences. I really wonder how fucked our aqua life is gonna be in the next decade, especially if a hurricane blows through the whole mess

danny_d19 06-03-2010 09:13 PM

The rov's aren't doing anything now. Just sittin there watching the oil fucking pump out

Fafine 06-03-2010 09:27 PM

Suddenly everyone is a Heavy Petroleum Engineer! And by 'they' you mean some of the worlds smartest Engineers, I think they've considered your idea. ;)


Really, there is no way out short of..

1.) Relief Well
2.) Nuke

That's the unfortunate reality. When dealing with extreme formation pressure, and extreme water depths, the options are very limited. Even then, there are no guarantee the relief well will work 100%. That's why they started on two. What if both don't work? Then they have to try drilling again, again, and again. This could get extremely ugly.

Kill it, take it out of its misery. The thing is drowning (CBS video clip from previous page). Or clean the fucking thing off. I guess I have a heart.

this sucks. well at least the good thing is oil doesnt mix with water... imagine cleanup if oil is diluted in the water.....

LiquidTurbo 06-04-2010 01:49 AM

The shit is outta control.

:( man feel bad for the wildlife


BP really fucked up this time

Heavy_user 06-04-2010 10:51 AM

It saddens me to see the wildlife and environment suffer while BP is still more concerned with the money.

Great68 06-04-2010 01:48 PM

So have they closed the vents on the cap yet?

Because on the video it looks like the cap is doing 4/5ths of fuck all right now.

The problem is that the chemical dispersant that they have been using do dilute the oil into the water making it nearly impossible to recover or remove. Apparently there are plumes of the chemically dispersed oil underneath the surface of the water but we cant see it!
