BP? Chu got sum 'splainin to do!
I wonder if the USN has anything that could get deep enough to cap this thing off before it becomes an environmental catastrophe. Bottom line:
They've made plenty of $ off of oil. They should easily be able to afford to shut the damn thing off, and then pay to fix the environment. Ugh. They've broken the Gulf of Mexico, and that current map that someone posted easily shows how this mess could spead around the globe.

The USN has submarine rescue vehicles (DSVs) that could do the job. You just need the SeaBees to do the work.
I love how all these people wanting to drill kept saying its "safe" and "ahh, no that will never happen..." but here we go. Buncha' fucking idiots.

This is the biggest disaster ever seen. But we can't blame just BP, they do what every other industry does, rape the earth, take its resources. Fuck who cares about the environment. We let this happen. Its the way our modern society works, and until we take a step back and finally realize that harmony with the earth is the real answer to happiness and survival, the better. We can point fingers at the British, at Obama whoever, but it doesn't fix the problem. We are slaves to our own greed. Hate to say it but 2012 seems to actually be happening... they way we're going mother nature isn't going to be happy for long. She's already pissed off. I hope to God the answer to this problem will be found very soon. I'm a sushi lover. This sucks

The estimate is an easy 20 times bigger than the Exxcon disaster. It IS going to change the way we all live.
Hey shrimp is up $5 in some places already. Like I said earlier the area effected is the 6th largest economy in the World!

the gulf of mexico is the nursery of the entire atlantic ocean, all kinds of things spawns there. If there is one region that should have been protected....
ive noticed how these "accidents" tends to happen in the most vulnerable areas.

Here is an interesting article about the financial impact.
http://www.businessinsider.com/davi...nd-a-double-dip-is-now-way-more-likely-2010-5
Also it is 100% BP's fault they are a greedy company with a horrible safety record.

The US should Seize BP and all its assets right now because they are legally and morally at fault here.

This part worries me, not being able to ever stop it till what? It all runs out?
This might be Human beings biggest f**k up ever
"Louisiana State University professor Ed Overton, who heads a federal chemical hazard assessment team for oil spills, worries about a total collapse of the pipe inserted into the well. If that happens, there would be no warning and the resulting gusher could be even more devastating because regulating flow would then be impossible."

Lmao, like there isnt page up and page down with right wing extremists in this forum that are praising the oil business and the oil companies for everything their lives are worth.
Modern society will fall apart without oil blabla.. and modern technology is so good that no such thing can ever happen.
my ass...
you are right about greed, however its not only BP thats greedy, the public is really getting what its asking for tbfh!
this is a lifestyle disease, what you see is merely the symptoms!
An undisclosed source from BP told reporters that an estimated tens of millions of barrels of oil are left in that deposit.

They are going to make even more money off the oil once this is all over with. the other companies now have an excuse to raise prices and they will whether or not their supply has suffered b/c of this incident.

Very nice talk about irony I couldn’t agree more let’s see how cheap US oil is now after the money spent on this clean up.
