there is 3 different color liquids coming out right now:\

is it just me or does it seem like theres more gushing out than there was like a couple hours ago.. well at the place where the camera is showing at least

it does seem like more now

This is shocking. :mad:

Same thing happens 31 years ago in 200 ft of water and it takes 9 months to drill relief wells. Now it's at a depth of 5000ft. What are the worst case scenarios here say oil leaks for a year then what.

I'd say we're f'd if the oil leaks for a year. The oil has been leaking for a month and look at the damage it has already caused. Give it another 11 months and fuuuu

Obama is on cnn having a press conference

this is G G

G G?

GG stands for "we're screwed"

new estimate is 12-19000 barrels a day
so far the top kill hasnt worked according to cnn

in 1989 exxon valdez spilled 262,000 barrels in total

Haha, omg. That's crazy. Since this top-kill isn't looking promising.. we'll have to wait till the relief wells are drilled?

:facepalm:

says who

WOW this vid really puts things into perspective. Her last statement is what really pisses me off, they've advanced the tech to drill deeper but there has been absolutely no advancement in dealing with a leak. They've only made drilling riskier by drilling deeper but have no new strategies to deal with a leak!

When did they say that?

So far everything I have read from CNN says that it's actually working according to plan.

""The top kill procedure is going as planned, and it is moving along as everyone had hoped," said U.S. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, who is leading the government's response to the oil spill.

just in time for 2012?


perfecto

thats the ticker said when obama was having his press conference. now they are saying it seems to be working

I don't understand how the governments associated or at least the ones giving the licenses and permits can allow drilling at such depths. When the shit hits the fan its nearly impossible to keep it localized.

^

its one of those loop holes, until shit hit the fan, ppl dont realize how serious it is. Unfortunately this time it blew way out of proportion that no human can contain. really unfortunate....



one way or the other we are fucking it up, burning those crude oil, causing a shit load of smoke cant be good either for the o-zone

Hindsight is 20/20 ain't it!

what the dispersants are doing under water :(

Everyone talks about BP all the time, but I don't hear much discussion of Transocean and how they play into this disaster. They owned and operated the rig that went down. What role do they have in this cleanup effort, if any?
