i just read on a website of oil spills in history and there are a lot in the past. i just can't believe how much oil is going into our ocean.

Meowjin 05-30-2010 03:58 AM

my kook of a brother is telling me the worst is going to be starving in 3 months and this is part of the end of the world, and the nwo and illuminati mason jews have their hands in this, and we have to get chips in our hands to get food.

I'm not shitting you. He listens to church leaders, and he is so fucking religious it drives me nuts.

Now does anyone have any relevent information on what the oil can do to wildlife in that specific area. The most relevent im finding is the iraqi gulf spill and that itaxa 1 spill in the 80's.

On May 27th scientists had found a second giant plume deep under the water. The plume is 22 miles long and 6 miles wide.

Today, May 28, the Washington Post is reporting that a third giant underwater plume has been discovered.

Thanks for those, now those articles are talking about the length and width of the plumes but what about the depth/thickness of them? The plumes are not flat remember

Money shouldn't even be an issue anymore. If we dun fix it, everbody is fucked.

It'll cost them more cleaning the shit up. Banging your fist and demanding someone to fix it is one thing.. coming up with a solution that works is the hard part.

This sucker's gonna leak til they drill that relief well. They don't know how to stop it. It's kinda stupid they're allowed to drill this deep without having good backup plans in place and all tested first.

they talk about this too in Greek Orthodox churches too??:confused:

cressydrift 05-30-2010 09:29 PM

They are on to another plan which involves a special cap. I swear they must be paying these guys millions.

My idea is to use a tapered drill and force fit that sonnnnnn bitch. I should be on there team.

Anyone who is getting a little down like I was about this... Watch this;

actually, lots of oil gets either spilled or naturally leaks out of the ocean. there are thousands of cracks at the bottom of the ocean floor and leaks constantly occur on a daily base. Only spills from oil rigs cause siginficant impact to humans since is usually close to land.

StylinRed 05-31-2010 01:21 AM

Im wondering why everyone is blaming BP though??

They just leased it from the owners who also run the oil rig Transocean Ltd.

Quote:

Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) is the world's largest offshore drilling contractor. The company rents floating mobile drill rigs, along with the equipment and personnel for operations, to oil and gas companies at an average daily rate of US$142,000 (2006). Transocean's day rates extend as high as US$650,000 for its deepwater drillships

With 3 to 7 major hurricanes projected for this season, it's going to be a wild ride.
