And it’s plugged. [http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream3&hpt=T2](http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream3&hpt=T2) Major news sites reporting first time in month oil not leaking into Gulf. Now I’m even more curious what we were looking at in the earlier video. ---

They’re doing some shit with the sub’s arms… It’s pretty rad to watch, but it makes it pretty apparent how fucking hard it is to work down there… They were lowing down some sort of cap, and it was just moving all over the fucking place, probably because the ship above was bobbing around like crazy… insane stuff. ---

> The analysis addresses the negative impact the six-month offshore drilling moratorium will have on the US, both directly and indirectly. It estimates **12,046** full-time jobs will be lost nationwide, not only on oil rigs, but also in associated industries. I want to know how they have such an exact number lol. Not 12K jobs buddy, 12,046! [http://www.epmag.com/2010/July/item63533.php](http://www.epmag.com/2010/July/item63533.php) ---

Speaking of oil disaster. Did anyone else hear about the Michigan pipeline that burst and spilled 800,000 gallons of oil into creeks and the Kalamazoo river? Happened in July. I just read about it. > **[Enbridge Spill in Michigan | US EPA](https://www.epa.gov/enbridge-spill-michigan)** > > EPA's response to the Enbridge oil spill in July 2010 near Marshall, Michigan, including documents, data, photos. ---
