I'd wanna know more about the charity side....

But I liked these too...

Its a godamn cryin down dirty shame at everyone wantin to boycott bp. It happnd, there gona fix it.

Really????

When????

They could just say Fuk it and File Bankrupt. Shit.. They wouldnt have to file Bankrupt becuase they are a British Company.. They could just say screw it 100%... I think the fact that they are doing the bit they are shows alot of heart...

Well I guess we shall see who the dumbass is as time goes by....Dumbass.

do you even understand the magnitude & complexity of the situation?

do you really think that bp has not done and is not doing everything they possibly can to stop this?

Let me guess, you bought into the whole "it's like an underground volcano that's gonna blow until it collapses and then send a tidal wave crashing all the way to fukin chicago theory" LOL

No, not buying that. I understand more than you think. Just because you are emotionally attached to BP doesn't mean you should go around calling people dumbass. I'm sure they are trying to fix this catastrophe which would never have happened if they had been doing things the right way to begin with. I'm done. Carry on internet badass.

u boys in Oklahoma roll your joints all wrong.. too damn skinny and way too long!!!


so leme get this straight mo.. if this would have been exxon yal would be tryna boycott exxon? dumbass. u voted for obama didnt you. are u blamin this on bush too?

far from emotionally attached. lol I'll be da first to call em a bunch of dumbasses at times.

sorry if I hurt your feel-goods by callin you a dumbass, but if you understood way more than I think then you wouldn't have made the sarcastic statement to begin with.

yea they fuked up, fuked it up bigtime and it costs 11 men their lives. but look at all they've done in deepwater exploration to date, you think they accomplished all that by not doing things right all this time??? Up until this happened everyone in the industry whined about how bp was too strict on safety... and now all of a sudden they're a bunch of wreckless, unsafe, little-dicked mutherforkers. lol funny how that works huh?

kinda like runnin ur MM into places you never been, eventually you gonna get stuck or tear sumthin up if you run it hard enough. you can stay in the boat lanes and be safe, but the ducks ain't there. so you go where the ducks is, and most times you get there & back uneventfully.... but do it enough and eventually you wont.

You got me all wrong bud. No I did not vote for Obama. I can't stand him. Unfortunately he is just a puppet and voting him out would not fix anything. BP and the US gov both want this in order to push through Cap and Trade and the Carbon Tax. Why do you think the US refused help from friendly foreign countries. Why do you think the feds shut down the states when they try to clean up their own shorelines? Why did BP buy internet search words related to the oil spill? Why are they arresting media who try to get in certain public areas? Why is BP still allowed to use toxic Corexit to sink the oil so they won't have to pay fines on it and to hide it from the public. Why is Obama sending swat teams to oil rigs? If the company I worked for was responsible for ruining my favorite outdoor places and dumping millions of gallons of oil in lakes around here due to negligence, I would be the first whistle blower to step forward. To hell with my job; I can find another one. I can't understand why more of you guys who are directly affected by this aren't more pissed off. I'm all for off shore drilling and having a self sufficient U.S. I don't however, believe we should do any drilling at pressures which are not controllable should an "accident" occur. I'm not putting it all on BP or anyone in particular. There's more than one party involved here and there is a hidden agenda. I don't have time to do your homework for you but this series of videos does put together a lot of info...

I may not be an offshore drilling expert.. But I did watch a youtube video last night

Jeez, not saying everything on you tube is true. I guess just go for a swim in that shit and keep on defending BP, Halliburton, Obama and whoever else you want. WTF do I care??? Can't fix stupid. Wake up!

anyone can twist words and make videos that swap the content to make it sound in favor of there views....

just like i can take API and ASME codes apply a section of it and make my calculations work.... is it designed to code yes.... ethically and effectively applied... no....

cant defend that in court can ya?

And you think this is news to me? Go watch CNN. I'm sure you will get the truth there.

the tooth fairly is pulling the wool over your eyes... everyone knows it was Santa on the grassy knoll

Da tooth fairy is a dude?

once they get the well shut down why dont they just let the oil float into the marsh and burn it? The oil will kill the grass anyway and wont it come back after its burnt? Im no expert but that seems like that would make the most sense. I dont think that the booms and skimmers are doin a great job and it would take longer to clean up that way. Maybe somebody that knows more could chime in but thats just my .02

My question is if BP is doing everything they can, why have they been withholding video and other technical information from industry scientists? I understand why they withhold it from the media and public, that is purely so they don't look bad but I don't understand why they would withhold info from people that could possibly help them?

This is a massive disaster and BP is doing A LOT, but I don't believe they are doing "everything they can". If they are, then their company policies have as much red tape as the government. Their company as a whole still has a profit motive (obviously not on this particular well) and many of their decisions are still based on what is best for their shareholder's. I'm not saying it's necessarily wrong but they are not spending everything they have, just what they can afford.

I've read a lot about an oil eating bacteria that supposedly works wonders. Maybe they will use that.
In response to stump: I wouldn't expect anyone to quit their job. It's not like it was your fault and what the hell would that fix anyway? However I would be happy to prove any of my statements if you like. Swat teams? Obama said it himself... Look guys it's all on the net if you just look for it. I know there's a lot of B.S. theories and misinformation as well but you just gotta use your gray matter and weed it out. In reality, we will ALL be affected by this. If I'm pissed off, it's more at the powers that be than anything because we all know what's coming and it's the last thing we need in this economy.
As for why I say this will take a long time to fix: Look up Ixtoc Bay of Campeche. That was in only 160 feet of water and it took 357 days to stop it. They also had to drill two relief wells to finally plug it. I know there are a lot of complexities. I may have never worked on a rig before but I can read and appreciate the difficulty of what they are trying to do. I have no doubt they are trying to get it shut off as fast as they can but all these cover-ups and half-truths and outright lies need to stop. I'm talking about Obama, BP, even the guys risking their health cleaning up this crap and scared to speak out for fear of losing a paycheck. If we the people don't grow a pair soon then there will be sad days ahead indeed.

gonna be sad days ahead no matter how big ya balls are dude.you'd keep ya mouth shut too if you were in on summa that cleanup money,not talkin bout **** on beaches,the poor shrimpers whose had hard seasons last few yrs,aint got no future,but they gettin nigger-rich as we speak.

Company I work for has been working on killing this well since May 1. I was working over in Houston for a lot of the time up until then. They haven't been hiding anything from industry scientist. They got people, smart people, from several of the major oil companies over there and it has been 24/7 for the last 3 months.

The biggest problem they have is they have too many experts working on this. Once they get this thing capped it will get real interesting. Every one forgets that everything they did was rubber stamped by MMS, the goverment.

It's like the walrus thing in the spill response plan. Should it have been in there? Hell No. Was it approved by MMS? Hell Yes.

When the whole thing is over it will be shown that two or three people made bad judgement calls and it cost 11 men their lives.

The good news is that everything that is being learned now can will be inplace faster if this type of event happens again.

Did BP screw the pooch. Yes. Just be thankful it wasn't the Chinese or PetroBras.

Also it is real hard to intellegently answer stupid question the media and congress have been asking.

Agreed. But they did withhold the High-Def video for a long time. Also, why did they originally turn down Shell's offer for the Supertanker skimmer (A Whale)?

Like I said, BP is doing a ton. I think a bunch of the stupid, idiotic moves have either been by the Government or caused by them and their policies. Hopefully this thing is capped off soon and we all can start enjoying our marshes again and arguing over who's mudmotor is the coolest.

The A Whale and other skimmers couldn't legally work in the Gulf because of the Jones Act. They could work in federal water but the couldn't come into a US Port to offload. The same thing happened after I think it was Katrina but Bush waived the Jones Act for common sense reasons.

All of the desisions on this well are being "considered and approved" by the goverement.

I thought the A Whale was already in port in Alaska? Maybe it was stationed offshore.
