...and while the oil volcano was erupting they cut the camera and then switched to another camera showing exactly fuck all and with no time/date overlay.

:Oh crap

I hope they fucking stopped the oil flow!

But they probably didn't.

The Gulf of Mexico is fucked. Greed has killed it. This will affect the entire globe before it's over.

Yeah something is up check out the cam on CNN

I just saw a dying shrimp float past the camera.... :(

that feed probably isn't even real. lol

Wow! It's still erupting. Check out the live feed: http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_inte...ov_stream.html

holy shit

http://monkeyfister.blogspot.com/ somethings going on and has been for the past few days apparently

This whole situation is beyond fucked up.

They are working on doing something now. Take a look at the live feed... http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_inte...ov_stream.html

It is amazing that a human mistake such as an oil spill can have such mass consequences. Do you think that World War II and nuclear weapons are a human mistake, also?

Watching the live feed now...

Does everyone else feel hopeless and helpless when they watch or is it just me?

right here dude.

repost but its worth it-
filmmaker of the doc called Crude is live now talking about the Ecuador Amazon disaster caused by Chevron
http://www.live365.com/stations/kxlu1?site=kxlu1

yes, an area the size of rhode island in the eccuadorian amazon was destroyed by Chevron because of their drilling practices.
all indigineous tribes in the region have huge cancer rates because chevron has simply been dumping their toxic waste directly in the waterways for years.

Here's what it says under the live feed:

"Throughout the extended top kill procedure ? which may take up to two days to complete - very significant changes in the appearance of the flows at the seabed may be expected. These will not provide a reliable indicator of the overall progress, or success or failure, of the top kill operation as a whole. BP will report on the progress of the operation as appropriate and on its outcome when complete."

I'm guessing that is what is causing that?

go robot arm thing, go!

this is getting to be real crazy

stop calling it a spill people, this has never been a spill, it is a rig blowout. Spill woudlve been blessing compared to this.

Another live video feed.

america demands oil big time ... there you are ... :disgust

on a sidenote ... EVERY oil platform leaks ... the ones in the north sea are estimated to pour about 10.000 tons of oil into the sea every year ... ok, sounds like nothing compared to the gulf blowout, but stil, it IS a fucking lot ... and who pays for it? the oil companies? i seriously doubt it :disgust

The teabaggers are in a conundrum over this situation.

How so? Teabaggers caused the spill?

for sure man :(

over time oil evaporates

The live feed from BP is pretty neat right now. Robotic arms installing something, its funny seeing that arm trying to insert a screw and fasten it.
WG

yup keeps moving back and forward and then it gets hazy from the oil

Amen bro. We send all kinds of shit into space but can't seem to fix that leak.
Frustrating as fuck. This will have massive consequences world wide.

I just see something hanging there in the water

that shit is crazy

If they criticize BP then their whole argument falls apart. That is why no teabagger dare say anything especially if they hang out with other teabaggers.

Looks like Russian idea with nuke was proper

um, did you know if they installed a $500,000 device this could all been avoided, i saw this on a news video on youtube, they just wanted to save 500 k on the drilling platform


shame on you!

Anyone know how wide that hole is?

It's going to spread a long way with the ocean currents

There was a bill submitted to make the device a requirement by law..

The Bush & Chaney show nixed it..

they probably did it on purpose so they can raise the prices :(

Yes, very helpless and sad for all the loss of life in the gulf and destruction of the coast.

What is their argument? Teabaggers are pro oil spills?

It might have prevented it. It's not known for sure though it certainly would not have hurt. As I understand it the government gave them, and hundreds or even thousands of other rigs, a waiver so they did not have to do many important safety precautions.

Please use your brain here. Why on earth would BP want this to happen? They could be sued into bankruptcy, their "brand" is now totally destroyed and their stock has crashed. If this problem is not fixed soon there may not even be a BP in the future.

Halliburton did work on the rig just before everything blew too and now they are making money on the clean up.

oh my god, those a*sholes are killing our planet, and NOBODY is doing anything about it!!!

how hard can it be to drop a few thousand tons of junk on top of that

and if that doesnt work??? then its covered with tons of junk... literally
