Nuke it.

The cracks are probably from the original oil well that's shooting oil. Just nuke the mother fucking thing and see what happens... becuase there is not other option. If the nuke dosen't work then we're fucked.

BP has really fucked the world up. Even at the current state, it's gonna take forever to recover.

That's a very dangerous decision. If it doesn't work, then we will eventually have a black sea. Not to mention all the toxic gases that is currently coming out, I think life = gg.

BP doesn't want their employees talking to the media, even though the Big Wigs say other wise....


Also, more pictures (Not from Boston Big Picture)

Hilarious. They probably told them.. "you talk to the media, we'll bury your family.".

What's more outrageous is the lack of respirators being used. because BP 'doesn't want to cause a panic'. Simply unreal.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that inhaling crude vapours and being exposed to dispersants like Corexit is not good for you.

so its his in that he owns it but he didnt make it

he did put in $20+million of his money into it though (so even after selling the units to BP he hasnt made his money back)

we shuolda all set up salt water fish tanks, biggest as possible and save the live rocks!!! maybe our only chance, the dam fuckers that didnt decide to fix the problem right away should pay for saving the live rocks!! set up a big fuckin tank, gather as much live rocks as possible... well the live rocks are probably soaked in oil by now..

here's a question no one's really asked yet.

Lets say this spill will eventually leads to "the end of the world", how long is the duration between now and when it will most likely kill life on earth? any theories/calculations?

Im going to go on a wild guess and say that in 10 years..the population will dwindle from 7 billion down to perhaps 500 million.

Ok, the world is not going to fucking end from this oil spill.

There was 10x the amount of oil released into the Persian gulf in 1991. Nowadays you could hardly tell there was such a massive oil spill back then, wildlife came back, things are business as usual. The world didn't end then did it? Mother nature is pretty damn resiliant.

I just thought of the solution!

Make the area a free for all, and have any willing oil company come and siphon off oil for free from the spill!
