  • Is this whole thing a cover story for something else? philipnute com

  • Nothing like watching a sun set; the way the oil sparkles in the water with the smell of death wafts through the air... Nothing like it.

    Yep... we're all going to kill ourselves.

  • @littlekitteh90

    Donate? BP needs to spend every penny they have to clean up their mess! This was not a natural disaster. They need to pay even if it bankrupts them and rightfully it should!

  • BP authorized video footage...

  • fake

  • @sentient001 why do u say its fake??if its NOT!

  • i think its about time we wake up and find a better, cleaner way to power our countries and economies. Our economy is to dependent on oil and oil is the base of pretty much every industry im a teenager and i see the problems facing our country head on yet the US government refuses to change their ways and this is not helping other nations looking at us in a good way. Its time for change and Obama still hasnt done shit we cant focus on diversity right now we need to focus on the future of Humans.

  • we all have a hand in this !!!!

  • Very impressive piece of engineering! 

  • i saw that on my way to the bahamas it was horrible

  • If people did things right the first time, which is why you get paid for any job, and took the precautions needed just in case something like this does happen we can resolve it quickly. But to keep things simple we shouldn't do things till we fully understand OR have a couple good back-up plans just in case. It's a waste of time, money, energy and resources to be taking one step forward and two steps back.

  • rumour has it, that before 2010 people could swim in the sea and the sea was blue :O

  • Gaining control ??? my butt has more control than they do over their excrement! DAY 79 of the end of time and we now know about the COREXIT (?) dispersant that is dropping the slop to the bottom of the gulf, probably taking every living thing down with it, although most lkely, no longer living.

  • Everyone Have SEX!!! Now while you have some time. Screw your wife, your girlfriend, your neighbor, yourself - That is the real issue - Your Screwed As of Right Now... We're all screwed...

  • you can all bicker and fight as much as you like about who owns it etc

    but the bottom line is too little was done too late the damage is done now, and the affect of this catastrophic event will affect us for years to come period.

  • Didn't this region overwhelmingly elect the policy makers who relaxed the regulations that would have prevented something like this from happening? I feel sorry about mother earth not so much for the morons that don't care enough to fight for the regulations that protect our precious habitat. Will the "Red States" wake up? Hmmm? Perhaps? Perhaps sometime after their done looking to the government to come to their rescue!! Oh the irony!!!

  • MacDonald can stop the oil grease in a minute. They needed it in their kitchens.

  • It is fair to place some blame on BP of course. It is easy to blame one company or one individual for the problem. However, it is much harder to look into the mirror and take responsibility. If Americans and people throughout the world for that matter were not as addicted to oil, then this would not happen. Maybe, we as a society can now think, maybe next time we have to take that half a mile trip, we can walk or ride a bike, maybe we can all examine our addiction to cars.

  • usa...your own greed and oil demand is killing you. you part own bp you clowns. enjoy the pollution yoiu have dumped on other countries for decades. not nice,eh?

  • @bklufc - Greed? Umm...sir, that oil rig/leak is the responsibility of *British Petroleum*! You know, that, "greedy", company that is located in...(drum roll), the United Kingdom, where *you* are?! lol

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1 BP is owned in almost equal share 39% usa-40%uk. it is no more british than american. the usa is like a greedy fat guy who is moaning that ONE of the cake trolleys being wheeled to him has tipped over,messing up his carpet. with 1000 more trolleys queing up behind the first. the cure is simple. STOP CONSUMING VAST AMOUNTS OF OIL. this was ALWAYS going to happen. whatever company owned the rig. "greedy company"??? from a country that wrecked the world economy thru greed!!

  • @bklufc

    We have to consume oil,there is no alternative in the mass amounts we need.We had a chance but ronald reagan did nothing after the 70s gas crunch.

  • If any of us had dumped oil all over the place, we wouldn't get a hearing before Congress. We'd be in prison before the oil even got cleaned up. The only difference is money, and if we don't demand that our congress start holding these wealthy pieces of greedy shit accountable, they are going to kill every one of us.

    To hell with your petroleum jobs. If they are destroying the planet, and my ability to have drinking water, tough shit, find another fucking job.

  • @JurisArcane - First of all, kindly have some common decency/respect and ashcan the YouTube Terms of Service violating language. The YouTube community, (especially the children), would be most appreciative. Thank you.

    Secondly, no one intentionally spilled any oil. There was no criminal intent, which is much different than, "If any of us had dumped oil all over the place"...."...we'd be in prison".

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1

    No where in the ToS does it say "you can't use ewwy evil words" that upset wittle goils like yourself who get scaredy-poos of curse words. If you don't want children reading acronyms (such as "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"), maybe you just better keep your children locked in a basement and off the internet where people get to exercise free speech and stuff. Secondly -

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1 so are you actually saying that bp should go unpunished and unfined for this?

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1 Intent is, in court, always assumed and implied by/for the 'defendant'. Only rich people and lawyers get the luxury of hiding behind the 'no intent' provisions of the law ... as in we didn't 'intend' to steal your family corporation, we just did... all perfectly legal cause His Honor says so.

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1 it's not that they meant to do it or anything. it's just the way bp has handled it wrongly.

  • You cant guess there intentions, Cheny's deregulations of our oil industries & letting them drill over a mile down with no acoustic switchs would be the start of the problem, then our government turning away the help of all the other countries would be the 2nd, then our government not allowing it to be blown up cause bp would loose its lease 3rd. Everyone sitting around, talking about how bad it is ,how angry they are, but doing NOTHING in reality to help would be a 4th. Thats just the icing

  • This just makes me sick. I can't describe it any other way.

  • @satheeshactsinfo Planetresource(dot)net has a Eco friendly solution to clean up the tragedy British Petroleum has created

    One person can still make a difference in this world, is that simple interactions have a rippling effect. Each time this gets pass along, the hope in cleaning our planet is passed on .watch the youtube video title "COMPLETE CLEAN UP OF THE GULF SPILL" by? PRR7075

  • Why doesn't the media ever say anything about the gas they are burning off ?

    Recently I noticed that now there are several ships that are burning off the gas. In this video the smoke coming from the burning gas has a rainbow effect. I am sure there is a lot they are not telling us.

  • @listenupeverybody - I've seen the media cover the gas being burned off. Why haven't you? Why would they have any reason not to tell us something?  Are alien invaders behind the oil spill? :)

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1 I don't know but I haven't Why would our media or government not tell us geez where have you been under a rock? they are keeping all kinds of info from us even the fact that they are not honest with us.

  • @listenupeverybody - Yes, I have been under a rock. Thank you for the compliment. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? Since when are politicians honest? lol I strongly suspect that the media might not be covering this story in depth because they don't want Obama-nation to look as inept and incompetent as he actually is. After all, Obama-nation is their boy.

  • Oh and one last shocker for you, since you seem to have a problem with rationality and dumb-fuck conviction. And yes, trees, natural wetlands, brush, natural canals and drainage systems all help protect nearby residences from the full fury of storms (hurricanes). Once again, if you aren't familiar with how things work back here on planet earth, stay your dumbass on whatever planet you live on, and let the reasonable people here try clean this shit up. Seriously, fuck off, idiot.

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1 yup I get pretty frustrated with the sheeple who insist our government would never harm us.I see you may not have been under that rock long enough to be blind so I apologize. Everyday I am waiting to see what "they" are going to pull next. Obama not accepting help from foreign oil skimmers and his handling or lack of handling this said it all.

  • we use the oil we should look at the way we live and change .used less oil.we are all to blame

  • bp better fixt that shit they are going to kill all the fish bastards

  • ha i hope there families drown n the very oil spill they created :D

  • I think Tony is a top man. He really kept his composure the other day in front of those Jewish colonials, which left me contemplating that any similarity between the Americans and the intelligent species is purely coincidental.

  • You know, the way I see it, is yes, this may make people a lot of money. Yet, soon there won't be place to buy things because the world is gonna fuckin' burn! and your money will burn longer before your flesh and bones do. Imagine the things you learn on your death bed.

  • The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

  • stop pumping !!!!!!!

  • Why is it that those who give Neg attitude do not help

  • @nitromt

    It would help if you attempted to portray your thoughts in English.

  • THIS IS WHY THEY SAY THE WORLD IS GOING TO END BECAUSE OF INDENIAL FAGGOTS OF BP YO FUCKED OUR WORLD UP DICK HEADS

  • can that oil ignite if fire hits it? is it really volatile?

  • This disaster is a Super Well. They drilled down some 30,000 to 40,000 feet below the sea bed and hit pressures from 20,000 to 70,000 PSI. Nothing Man has can hold back that kind of oil and gas pressure. They drilled too far down and hit batholith layers of the earths crust and have released something that can never be stopped.

  • Comment removed

  • Time to start listening to William Tarkovsky…

    Check out youtube eco-vid The Book of New Creation…

  • BP=broken promises

  • oil everywhere

  • Throw a flare!!

  • Here is a concept we developed for a rapid oil spill containment system.

    watch?v=M8PBTY6qAog

  • what if hurricane hits?

  • @TonyFirelli Not what if, but when then what?

  • Comment removed

  • @TonyFirelli get the hell out of florida asap. if one comes.

  • @TonyFirelli

    I can answer that for ya - the Gulf of Mex. is finished. It will be such a blow to the ecosystem of the gulf coast and islands, that future storms will not only be intensified (due to destabilized pressure from the massive oil-water mixture), the oil is currently, and will continue to eat away at the wetlands that protect the inland industrial and residential zones. There will be nothing to stand in the way of an extremely pissed-off mother nature.

    Hope that answers your question

  • @JurisArcane - "Mother nature", doesn't get, "pissed off". Nothing ever, "stood in the way", of Mother nature either. After the Exxxon Valdez oil spill, they also said Alaska would be, "finished". But it wasn't and isn't. This oil spill is not a good situation of course, but the world is not coming to end, the sky is not falling.

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1

    Yeah actually mother nature does get pissed off when we do things to the planet on a massive scale that actual altar the natural flow of events. Jesus dude, are you really this fucking dumb? The end of the world is not coming? Immigrants are coming here for food, starvation is spreading at a staggering rate, we are running out of drinkable water, and breathable air. Seriously man, what the fuck is wrong with you? That's it. Don't talk to me anymore you idiot.

  • @TonyFirelli

    I hope so,destroy the three red states.

  • @MrTabby5000 - Why are you so full of hatred that you want people to die? What is wrong with you?!

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1

    I just want republicans to suffer like their God wants homosexuals to suffer. I would like to see tony hayward you know.

  • @MrTabby5000 - Why would you want *anyone* to suffer, especially approximately *half* of the U.S. population of over 300 million people? What is *wrong* with you? Why all this bitter hatred of your fellow man? My gosh, stop taking the hatred pills!

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1

    These oil corporations cut corners and take risks that they know will endanger the lives of the people living on this planet. They know how toxic the chemicals are they use. They know what it's doing to our air and water. If you are stupid enough to try and defend them at this point, that's on you genius. But if you don't, you should probably re-evaluate the facts before trying to lecture a pissed off population about how the oil companies deserve mercy, you fucking fungus.

  • @MrTabby5000 - Republicans don't have their own God. Neither do the Democrats. Neither does anyone. There is one God for all.

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1

    There is no God,the republicans have theirs.

  • @MrTabby5000 - Well if there's no God in your life, I guess that's your personal choice. God is assuredly in the lives of millions of others though. Good luck to you and try not to hate other people so much. Hate is a very self consuming affliction.

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1

    Tell that to the fishers in the gulf coast.

  • @MrTabby5000 - God doesn't have anything to do with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. For crying out loud. lol

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1

    Thats the problem,where is his responsibility for his creation?God never does take responsibility for anything.

  • @TonyFirelli it would help....HURRICANE MAKER NOW

  • @TonyFirelli

    all that oil will fall on land causing the plants to die and animals as well (herbivores). No plants no fruits and vegetables, no plants no animals,no animals no food, no food, hunger, etc. Do you get where I'm heading to? :)

  • Burn Up The Oil xD

  • The current LMRP Cap is not working. Two thirds of the oil is still escaping into the Gulf.  The sooner we recognize the failure the sooner we can move on to a better solution. There should be dozens of LMRP Cap designs in process with the best designs being candidates for consideration as a replacement. I can’t understand why we are waiting. If BP had a solution they would have the well sealed by now.

    Here's a better solution - youtube.com/watch?v=FFUGv0iffe­0

  • HALIBURTON: April 12th, they buy Boots and Coots, a major oil spill cleanup company. See this at Wall Street Journal

    April 19, - 20 hours before the rig explodes, Haliburton is on the scene doing "work" (see this at Huffinton Post)

  • As If anything we say made a difference, fuck you BP, fuck all the intelligent economists who suggest drilling deep in the gulf of mexico for petrol, is the way for the economies, there you go greedy fucks, the earth is gonna burp on us, and it won´t be pretty. Sad, sad, sad, poor mother gaia. Greedy Brainless experts can suck my balls.

  • @putridpanchos Unless you never drive a car, you're a hypocrite. As long as gasoline autos are around, we need crude oil. If we don't drill for oil where we can, we'll be slaves to OPEC and foreign oil. But if you only take your bicycle everywhere, then you have my sincere apologies.

  • @GravyPipeline BP could have spent 550k on a safey valve, but they did not. Half a million now costs them billions, let alone all the life they have murdered. You may not care about the earth and effects of future generations, but the rest of us do.

  • @kkev1n Where does it say I don't care about the earth and future generations? All I'm saying is that at the PRESENT TIME we need crude oil. If you think we don't need oil then don't drive or ride in a car.

  • @GravyPipeline I use my bike mainly, obviously, sometimes i have to use a car, and i shit, and eat, and pollute too, i´m a human and we´re a plague. I try to minimize the impact i have on the earth. Now i wonder why instead of installing multimillion dollar petrol platforms, why not invest similar quantities to massive solar panel energy? technology allows it to be done, but no, why, because of the greedy fucks who control the world with petrol, it could take their $ away.

  • @putridpanchos Humans are not a plague. If we are, then all living creatures are a plague. If you are atheist, then humans are supreme and we are thus special. If you are Christian, humans have souls while animals do not, thus we are still special.

    The US is by far the greediest oil consumer on the planet. I agree that we need to decrease our dependence on oil. But the transition can't happen overnight. Alternative energy sources need time to develop before they become practical.

  • i am so stressed and sad about this tragedy its going to affect my life and if it ruins my wonderful bayou i will cry and cry i really hope they can plug the damn thing its just to much to even sink in i cant imagine how those poor folks already affected in la are feeling i hope they can still find happiness in there lives this isnt about obama or a war or anything like that we just need to come together and start doing the hard work of cleaning up this mess the blame game will not pay the bills

  • See my videos and I will prove to you that 43,000,000 G.P.D. are spilling into the Gulf of Mexico I dare anyone in this world to prove my numbers wrong by utilizing statistical facts that can be verified from BP and I will stop writing this crap

    So stop writing me telling me my #s are incorrect

    & the biggest lie of all is the Coast Guard and British Petroleum telling the American people that the dispersants are not pure poison!

    THIS IS CATASTROPHIC ~ !

  • The company that makes C-I-Agent is going to make billions off this. Again, another coorporate gold rush.

  • This is incredible. BP won't let the national or local news film the oil spill but will allow AP to film. The answer is, the same folks who own BP own AP. Do the research. BP's majority share holder is the Rothchilds. AP is owned by Reuters and Reuter is owned by, you guessed it. The Rothchilds. We need to do something about this. Obama step up your game or are you owned by the Rothchilds?

  • Get troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq and fight this real battle. Spend on real cause instead of fake war.

  • DESTROY THE FUCKING WELL ALREADY CLOSE IT FOR GOOD, YOUR NOT GOING TO PROFIT FROM THIS

    FUCK!!!! I swear to god this is terrorism now!! WHY IS BUSH AND CHENEY NO PROSECUTED FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN!? Obama, why didnt you change their policies!!! look at what you have done you TERRORISTS

  • What the fuck are those posers in the yank navy doing. They supposedly have hundreds of ships and yet all they seem to do is threaten North Korea and Iran and never seem to do anything to help the taxpayer.

  • Run a pipe from the broken pipe into a big like wherever it usally goes we all go home happy happy

  • @J195aw , it will affect everyone because the sea food prices will go up by alot. and plus its pretty much a national disaester. and this could be permant.

  • i dont even care, i live all the way in new jersey man, only ppl i feel bad for is my cuzins in florida.

  • I would send in my airforce to bomb and strafe those BP terrorists.

  • WATCH GRAPHIC MUSIC VIDEO OF THE OIL SPILL. GO TO ITCHYKK ON YOUTUBE

  • the oil spill is bad. the worst actually. The ecosystem in the gulf of mexico is going to severly crippled after this is over. I just hope it doesnt make its way around florida to virginia!!!

  • This oil spill is not even that bad, everyone is making a big deal out of it...all of the oil that spilled so far could be held in a medium sized oil tanker with room to spare.

  • @PistolStar2 The Exxon Valdez can carry 1.5 million barrels roughly full load. M/T Hellespont Alhambra is HUGE and can carry about 3.2 million barrels

    This sucker has leaked 2.8 million barrels according to BP's estimate of 70,000 barrels a day x 40 days as of today. Exxon Valdez spilled 257,000 barrels minimum estimate. if that spill was bad, do you think this one may be 11x worse than Exxon Valdez?

  • @mattmatt115 Where did you get your sources from?...If anything Bp would make smaller estimates because they have to pay for every barrel that is spilled so more barrels more money they lose...if you go to pbs newshour.org they have the famous video of the oil spilling into the gold and according to the most concervative estimates only 20.7M GALLONS has spilled so far...about 500,000 barrels..the worst case scenario would be around what you have said...the persian golf spill had over 460M gallon

  • Dispersants ~ ALL SKIN IS REMOVED IN 5 MINIUTES!

    43 million G P D are being pumped into the gulf!

    Fluid dynamics dont lie and at only 500 psi REAL # is 43 M G P D

    Watch me prove that we are being lied to, and then prove it is 43 M G P D

    NO JOKE ~

    AREA x PRESSURE { = }  VOLUME

    WANT THE TRUTH WATCH MY VIDEOS ~ NOT for the weak minded!

    You will also see how the 44 pOtus is Lying though his ears~

  • I invite anyone to see my heavy metal music video called OIL IS BLOOD. It was done 2 years ago. Even more relevant today.

  • Wow, the toxicity of our planet. This is wrong!!!!

  • Our planet is being doused ,,,, being made ready for the fire of Armageddon. Look! Oil is being brought to the surface by fools who think they are helping mankind. This stuff will NEVER go away completely.

  • Unlike Katrina and all the other lame excuses used in 2008 to keep the price of fuel up, this time there really is an oil-spill yet the price of fuel at the pumps have not changed drastically. what happened in 2008 was a good example of how coporate giants uses the public media at their disposal to manipulate the public. It's been going on for decades and will continue to.

  • nancy pelosi's super size tits could plug it too

  • keith olberman's head is big enough to plug the well and would be a better use for that a-hole's head.

  • They are just throwing darts in the dark! not really knowing what to do? but as always they feed the public relaxing words that dumb the mind): this oil spill

    is liken to a Nuclear Blast, horrific and massive destruction.

  • What is wrong with these people? Why can't they go in and Cement the well right now...or make a 13 pound mud weight and pump it down the hole?? I don't get it, it is almost like they don't want to stop it...it isn't under control and why are they waiting so long??

  • go to BP(dot)com and scroll down to ROV footage - LIVE stream. You will see how bad this really is as it is happening. Be prepared if you have not seen the live cam yet.

  • Dont believe it, its not under control

  • BP stands for Blood Poisening of the ocean! greedy devils.

  • The IXTOC I well blowout on June 3, 1979 continued to spill oil into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of 10,000 - 30,000 barrels per day until it was finally capped on March 23, 1980. We all remember the effects of that one, don't we? Is this a big deal? Yes, but on a small scale. Quit letting the media whip your mind into a paranoid frenzy!

  • this is not about republican or democrat. this is about international terrorism para oil tycoons namely prof. richard olver deep water exploration gulf of mexico strategy. This man is neither political party because he is not a citizen of this country. OPEN YOUR EYES! BP HEDGES THEIR BETS BEFORE EACH ELECTION. DON'T DIVIDE RIGHT NOW. COME TOGETHER. LETS GET THE QUEEN!

  • OBAMA is FINISHED

  • Boycott BP. I filled up at another station today and plan on never using BP, the rest of my life.

    These bums along with the Republicans, are destroying everything they touch, including banks, Wall Street, unions, and the middle class, all in the name of GREED.

    Idiots!

  • @1911arthur Your comment is so correct! The SCARY part is the GOP could be back in control of Congress next year! They GOP wants the middle class to hold onto their GOD while working for scraps! Their ultimate goal is a Christian Theocracy!

  • his names is jewishfan. they are trying to divide us or make us fucking blind. london, im going to turn to chiba chiba.

  • @ihavestage4coolness can't find employment?

  • i dont want to hear anyone blame any north americans. this is imperial terror para greed.

  • nuke britian rah rah rah!

  • lemme tell you.  this clown is playing with the wrong people!!! politics?! you sob. I'll kill em !!! obama kicks ass! obama invaded pakistan.

  • as a good freemason i can safely say that is the only way to leave the world better than I inherited it, given bp's callous profit on native beaches. choctaws say london is going to burn!

  • Horrible accident.

    But what I really want to know how much BP spend on presidential campaign of ex junior senator from Illinois.

  • let's fucking nuke london!

  • @ihavestage4coolness why whats london gotta do with this ?

  • the money they are promising us is the same money responsible for the largest oil spill ever. we need to put this in perspective. there has been a release of nearly 420,000 tons of oil and it continues. exxon was 42,000 tons. I'm a native choctaw, and I'm going to fight. we all are. right?!?

  • BP (I think) could have had this resolved already. It's all about money. They'd rather waste VALUABLE time drilling another valve so they can get more oil then to manufacture a containment object. It's so sad, I don't think anyone can even comprehend how much damage is being done, and I'm anything but an environmentalist.

  • come on - lets do dis! I heard somewhere that queen smells like tuna.

  • F bp money. oil = money.  war = peace. money = tragedy.

  • kill kill kill!!! soak your clothes in oil and fight with athena abroad! to london!!!

  • I'm going to hunt you down and kill you. richard olver.

  • bp money is stalling our north american's spirit to fight an honest foe. take their money if you want to lose anarchist friends from mexico city to toronto.

  • Thanks for the update, seriously!

  • fsdfsdf fd fsdfs dfsd

  • everyone just blame BP...

  • BP reports 5,000 barrels spewing a day.

    More like 50,000-70,000.

  • PANIC!!
