Slowest disaster ever?

I can’t believe how long it is taking for them to fix this problem… shows how bad of an idea drilling for oil in the ocean really is.

Ha… there’s a difference between injecting mud into the well and just dumping it out of a boat at the surface. :slight_smile:

shut up, no there is not

lol

this man is clearly a brilliant engineer

God you are such a moron, lol.

Actually i do recall reading something a few years back that mentioned that Nostradamus said there would be a huge fire in the gulf or some shit like that. Could be wrong though. But hell if they decide to have a huge bon fire in th emiddle of the gulf then we will know right?

Yeah it definitely feels like the worlds going to hell!

Ironic win.

^ Good post from there…
“I really do not see the problem. BP has drilled over 5000 wells with nary a mishap. Yes, the gulf spill is serious and toxic. However, blame the environ-wackos for forcing BP to drill 50 miles off shore in 5000 feet of water. If the blowout had happen closer in the spill would have been contained rather quickly.”

I am pissed, my half-price oyster Wednesdays have gone up in price…

STOPPED google it!

Did you guys realize that there was a similar incident back in 1979 that was 2 miles down and was spewing for 7 months before they had to resort to drilling relief wells, as they planned this time as well?

I didn’t know until this morning…

They have to wait until Obama gets there for the photo op before they make it official.

they confirmed that the top kill worked completely?

No, LA Times was reporting it but apparently they’re wrong.

Coast Guard Lt. Commander Tony Russell said Thursday reports that Admiral Thad Allen, who is overseeing the operation, had called the procedure a success were incorrect. He said Allen said that the flow of mud was stopping some of the oil and gas but had a ways to go before it proved successful.

thanks, couldn’t see anything on CNN that said it was a success so I was wondering.

Today Obama said it was his responsibility, gee just when it looks like they have it ifxed and he is going there. God I hate that d-bag more everyday.

So I was watching some news conference and the big question of the day was, “what happens when a hurricane encounters a huge oil slick?”

Expert 1: The dark oil will collect more heat and make the hurricane stronger.

Expert 2: The oil will prevent the hurricane from drawing up as much moisture which will weaken the hurricane.

Government official: :bloated: “Ok, so we’ll go with no fucking idea. What about what happens to the oil?”

Expert 1: The oil will be agitated and it will accelerate it’s natural decomposition.

Expert 2: The oil will stay intact and be forced below the surface, killing more little fishes.

Expert 3: The oil will be picked up and forced inland with the surge.

Government official: :fu:

LOL

Haha, I’d say that it is safe to assume that they don’t have the SLIGHTEST idea of what would happen. They are just throwing shit at a wall and hoping something sticks.
