  • Aww it broke my heart seeing those fish swim in the water contaminated with oil. and the corals... they are dying.. the company responsible for the spill is so heartless for not cleaning up their mess.. I am sad upon thinking that the next generation would not be enjoying the waters as much as we have enjoyed it when we were young. :(

  • fucking commercials fucking governments are destroying everything

  • fucking commercials

  • Thank you for your sacrifices, but we know that it is NOT GOOD. It is sad that we have to spend time wondering how bad. Instead of getting BP with all their billions and go out there with a fucking mosquito net and row boat. Bastards, they do call the shots.

    America, what has to happen to get action? The atrocities that this nation overlooks is clearly a continuation of what is yet to come. Wait till they take everything and your home too.

    Ask about the synthetic DNA they developed!

  • Thanks AP. Fuck you BP.

  • FUBP.

  • It angers me to no extent that the US gov lets our country fall apart, first hurricane katrina, then the oil spill. We do nothing for our own people, and the second something happens in another country (ie Japan earthquake) we are so quick to help other countries in a time of crisis, AND SO QUICK TO CUT THE THROATS OF OUR OWN! $*#*% this country.

  • @Spocktavian america are hardly helping out japan.. more like fighting illegal wars- I cant talk, the British Goverment are wank aswell.. our countriea also need 2 revolt..

  • snow4man there is also another site called myscubastory that has diving stories like accidents shark encounters etc. type myscubastory into google and its first one i think..

  • hope he had air in his BCD, No regulator in his mouth as he did the back roll!OOOPPP'S!

  • phoenixrisingfromthegulf.wordp­ress.c o m/2010/12/01/the-gulf-of-mexic­o-is-dying/

  • That news guy had a horrible entry!!!

  • book of human history chapter 7:

    first u.s. invaded the world for oil - then oil invaded usa

  • What they're not telling you is the ocean is thriving with bacteria that eats the oil and that ocean floor crevices are constantly leaking oil into the ocean every day of the year.

    So while you all foolishly watch the television and assume there is no hope, anyone with half a brain shuts of THEIR news channels, doesn't read THEIR newspapers and doesn't listen to THEIR radio stations

    Commercial free radio, television and publishing exist for a very important reason. Not everyone is brainwashed

  • lol snot balls

  • 210

  • "Then i saw what looked like a mountain on fire, and a third of the ocean became like blood, and a third of the ocean life died"

  • @kapow04 yea, yea.... make it fit your vision if you want.... just dont shove your religion on everyone because you feel right... thumper

  • @sunniski if you know what i was talking about maybe you are the religious one?. May the Lord forgive your sins.

  • @kapow04 Sorry for being so snappy.... you certainly have the right to believe what you will... I dont know you and you may be more spiritual than religious.... again I'am sorry.....

  • @sunniski you have a clear vision of some things, im impress :)...truly we learn from good and bad things we read and see, but it takes a diserning mind to come to a clear veiw. May our father in heaven and the Lord Jesus the christ bless you .

  • this is a disaster on all levels including us.

    we need to stop working like slaves and start standing for whats right.

    no money or power will make up for this.

    and its our fault for lettign them walk all over us

  • It only spilled over 300 million gallons of oil!

  • It's okay, big business is exempt from the laws that effect slave people like you.

  • The reporter went in without his air in his mouth so he stuck it in wet... or slimy... or whatever it was from being in that mess.

    Gak!

    Thanks for the video.

    Did you know that there was a guy sitting on the pier down there with non-toxic stuff that wouldn't have contaminated the gulf?

    And a German company with non-toxic cleansers as well (made from hemp, yeast & oils)?

    Better for big business to use toxins.

    Watch our food production areas go away one by one.

  • Be careful... somebody rich and powerful could come along and want to shut you up...

  • yea, its great till it leaks- then its death.....

  • @Nagamangos

    Yea you tell them! I'm sick and tired of all the grandstanding those dead fish, turtles, dolphins, and various other flavors of ocean life are doing! I bet the environmentalists put them up to it! Retard.

  • It's transforming because of BPs toxic dispersants.

  • We wouldn't hav this problem if we weren't all so dependent on oil, look at the big picture

  • My name is Sunny Delynn and I think we should all help to

    protect our Gulf and the wildlife that live there.

  • Hi everyone!!! i am in the Pepsi content to DO GOOD FOR THE GULF! please vote for me by googleing  ONE THOUSAND SONGS FOR THE GULF OF MEXICO its the first page that comes up!!! thank you sooo much! i need all the support i can get!!!

  • It was an accident, the engineers did the best they could, they controlled it. In the end, nothing better could have happened. God Bless the USA!

  • People in Louisiana fucked themselves by electing Bobby Jindal, Obama hates Bobby Jindal and all the stupid racists that live in the slave states.

  • Thanks for the video and for risking your health by going down to see what is really going on. It looks like a mess because it is a mess ! The reaction of the President was a non reaction. This should be televised not just Utubeized. I still wonder what they are hiding and why they are hiding it. It was definitely forcibly played down by the media...It is a tremendous travesty at all levels.

  • an accident that as caught the attention away from conflicts overseas that's why american news as been running it like it a nuclear attack and placing blame in all the wrong places.

    next thing you know there will be bp infront off judge judy $5000 dollars a time

  • @No1uKnOwOriginal Yes, its not like it's affecting peoples livelihoods or entire industries. Its hardly news worthy...

  • it's me an a couple off buddies out there well fekk off you pointless fucks

  • This is an old video. The oil you see is no more. Most have been eaten up by bacteria and the rest just evaporates. Don't worry, it's just a little oil. Nature has it's ways to clean things up naturally just like a giant natural forest fire. Sure it burns entire forests down much larger than this oil spill, yet nature recovers from it easily. So relax and everything will be okay. Cheers !!!

  • No its this simple...WHERE ALL GOING TO DIE! :'(

  • you mean wiping out life !

  • Isin't this Funny and Sad at the same time.George Soros Pres. Obamas Boss IS a HUGE investor in petrobra, a Brazilian OIL company.Watch years from now we'll find out George Soros was behind this.He had the rig sabotaged then Obama is ordered to have a moratorium on drilling .2 rigs have left so far and am sure more will follow due to loss of revenue.Then our socialized society will be saved by our gov't run oil company, Petrobra.Too many Old White guys ran those evil oil companies.

  • @UpleHdoG Exactly. I wonder why the moratorium on drilling geographically stops short of interfering with Soros' wells. Is it maybe because Obama owes him big for helping him get elected? They are both hell bent to destroy the U.S. and they are well on their way already. It's the NWO agenda at work. Not enough people take the time to look beyond the appearance of what we call the news.

  • HERES A SOLUTION FOR THE OIL DISASTER

    /watch?v=dM7c0yOHqnU&feature=r­elated

  • Hurricane Bonnie is headed straight for the spill site so if you live in Texas, Louisiana or Mississippi you're pretty much fucked. The storm is going to suck up millions of gallons of oil and that highly toxic Corexit 9500 dispersant and rain it down on your stupid little "drill baby drill" heads. Should be a few million chemical-soaked wignuts this weekend. Wonder how many kids will be born with two heads in Texas next year.

  • Two hundred dollar fine for flicking a cigarette butt, these wankers have dumped millions of barrels of oil into the ocean, and fucked up the lives of billions of organisms, fine the company one hundred billion dollars, ensure they can never be a detriment to humanity, and make those who make their living off exploitation of natural resource clean the fucking mess up, at their expense and their time, those monsters of the modern age.

  • @BraniusBalki hey crap happens

  • @BraniusBalki I couldnt of said it any better.

  • @BraniusBalki I couldn't agree more. Well said.

  • the oil solution is in the song mr b p man

  • FIGHT THE NWO OR DIE ITS SO SIMPLE!

  • Why do you people around that area just stay there? You will be poisoned or worse.

  • @rrdrums1111 You tell me where to go I just paid off my home that took 8 years. We both have jobs where would we both have jobs. Our family has been here over 200 years. Perhaps we could move to Detroit (too ugly) maybe NYC (will suffer riot when hurricane and earthquake hits) I know we should move to OKC(way too consertavitive tornadoes) Las Vegas(No jobs too damm hot for the devil) I have no other place to go we run when we get a hurricane we die of cancer that is our lot.

  • @cdltpx Geez. Yeah . Hard choice. I feel for you and the others, the sea and it's life.

    A house is just piece of material. Cancer is nothing to laugh at. I feel for you. God bless

  • @rrdrums1111 It is like watching dual survival and Cody tells you boil water proir to ingestion or you will get the hershey squirts eventually resulting in your death. Then on the flip side he said if you can't boil the water drink it any way cause you are sure to die if you dehydrate the hope is you will get medical attention when you are found and that you are found prior to getting the squirts. Industry saves many but probably cause cancer to those living near it's impossible to predict .

  • @cdltpx I'd be just as worried about Benzene or any of the other poisonous gases wafting in as well. Man, I feel for ya. News just said they capped it finally. But I never have believed in that underwater footage anyway. Nobody knows except the perps.

  • @rrdrums1111 They capped it HAPPY FEET now if they can only clean it up by the time I am 85. I am 42 now I highly doubt they will have it cleaned by then. It is over 20 years past Valdez and they still have not cleaned up that oil spill.

  • @cdltpx When the economy crashed in the states, I moved to Central America. Panajachel, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala to be specific. Ultimately, it has been the best thing that ever happened to me on many levels. Hurricane Agatha hit in June two days after I got there, but by the grace of God myself & those near & dear made it through (although others did not). In the USA I learned how to work and make money; in Guatemala I have learned how to pray. Sometimes that's all we have left. I feel for you.

  • @fredsize100

    corruption will be the death of us

    corruption that i refuse to buy into.

    so thankyou, for killing me.

    because thats all a bunch of crap.

  • he is gonna be bold because he wears no mask

  • No HAZMAT diving suit? the oil dispersant suposed to be very dangerous if it gets in contact with your skin.

  • Wow, this is heart breaking. I really thought that the oil was just floating on the surface. This is so unacceptable! It is hard to believe that this problem is so hard to fix.

  • @sunlei5 " Yet the Gulf states have the worse school systems and worse roads-a huge group of people in poverty."

    I agree with everything else in the paragraph you wrote but unfortunately not all of your statement is true about the Gulf States. I would agree with you if you said that some but you mentioned "The Gulf States" meaning all. I have to say yes they are easier to a point and I have you know that not all of us are in poverty. We will be if the oil keeps gushing out. Right now we are not.

  • haha.. that's my boy Scott Porter!  :)

  • Comment removed

  • you guys are all the exact fucking exact reason this shit is taking so long !! the human race is despicable as fuck, we the only kind are war with itself and it will be the death of us! who gives a FUCK whose fault it is, we are all the same damn species. which will be completely irrelevant if we have no DAMN PLANET TO LIVE ON.

  • @kpiazza23 THAT MOUTH OF YOURS IS LIKE THE OIL SPILL VERRY NASTY AND NEEDS CLEANED UP .YEA THER WILL DE DESTRUCTION OF THIS PLANET SOON SO THAT IT WILL BE AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINING.GOD IS ON HIS WAY SO BE GLAD AND SEEK HIM ,BE READY

    MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND SAVE YOU TROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

  • There are 47,000 old capped oil wells on the floor of the Gulf.The oil companies can state the wells are not abandoned they are 'temperary' abandoned.So they never inspect the caps. The Federal and Gov employees and elected officials that allowed oil companies to regulate themselves should be charged with Treason. They have given away americas coastline and wildlife to the oil companies. Yet the Gulf states have the worse school systems and worse roads-a huge group of people in poverty.

  • We are just watching our mother put to death by our own race's greed and corruption.

  • BP = BRITISH POLLUTERS

  • @MrWalrusblubber BP = BRITANNIA'S PENIS

    AND IT WILL RAPE YOU GOOD

  • there's no responsibilty in this world. All the giant companies are ruining the planet for profits, the executives are only ordering the employees and the employees are just taking orders... who gets the blame? All of us in my opinion, we're just doing the same $%!^ severy day like a bunch of cattle and it's not doing any good. Politicians have turned life into a game with real people.

    Supporting giant entities means supoorting corruption, capitalism is the problem... find the solutions

  • be careful you guys- there are these suits they are wearin on cnn because of the toxins underwater- everything you have done so far is so appreciated- please take care of yourselves

  • Comment removed

  • bp so selfish greedy and clueless, just trying to move the oil underwater  with there toxic chemicals.How can one be so stupid to even be drilling with no back up plans anyways.They need to be coved in oil and chemicals then burned just like they do to the sealife that wasn't resued.Then they ignore everything and can do whatever they want..Need to take there selfish greedy ass to the grave already!

  • The title

  • @ccmscm67 how do you know this? can you give me a link or something to look at proving this? ...curious because i live in south texas......

  • wonder how soon the corexit dispersant will show up in the divers lives.

  • INSANE! I'd do it.

    Please see my music video Oil Is Blood.

  • I hope all you right wingers are proud of your boys Bush and Cheney for getting us into this (another one) mess! Suckers!

  • Big Oil wants everyone to think they care about the ocean and the wildlife and US...but we all know what they REALLY care about $ Greedy assholes.

  • Its the niggers fault. Black skin, black oil. Go figure.

  • people should get out of the southern states the worst is yet to happen, there is a volcano that they taped into, all kinds of gass's there the sea bed will collaspe causing 300 ft tidal waves, run while u can it can blow up causing rivers of fire too !!!!!

  • I feel soo bad for the animals. :'(

  • I wonder if we all can work together in finding solutions for this mess.

  • what the hell do they think they are doing? hell is on its way and somebody somewhere okayed BP to open the door. Thanks a lot BP, you SUCK!!!

  • That´s terrifying !

  • This is definitely going to blow and cause a tsunami,

    See the prophecy of Linda Newkirk at Prophecies(dot)org chapter 71 of book 12 that was posted june 16 . This judgment out of the Book of Revelation also see Matthew Stephen youtube prophecy after the spill. He was told all the gulf states are going to burn and that there will be a tsunami.

  • I hope all you right wingers are proud of your boys Bush and Cheney for getting us into this (another one) mess! Suckers!

  • @TheKmbt Come on bro-get over the paradigm-left wing right wing-doesnt matteer cuz your on the same bird-GET OFF THE BIRD! and find the truth...By using the L/R paradigm-"they" just create a new public enemy for people to be angry with...Brilliant display of intellect...

  • I am doing a documentary about that. Planning to present it to BP in person. I am good in editing. Please, If you have a good video from location can you send it to me?

  • May 1: To freshen up before his photo op in the Gulf area the next day, Obama delivers a commencement address at the University of Michigan and then yuks it up with celebs at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. May 17: Obama hosts UConn's women's basketball team at the White House. May 19: 30 days after the oil rig explosion, Obama enjoys the company of New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez as singer Beyonce provides a live performance at the White House State Dinner.

  • April 23: Four days after the oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, Barack and Michelle begin their golf-filled vacation in North Carolina April 26: Even after it is clear that thousands upon thousands of gallons of crude are spilling into the Gulf daily, Obama pays no real attention to the crisis. He's busy entertaining the N Y Yankees at the White House.April 29: Tired of campaigning for legislation in stops across the country, Obama stays in Washington, D.C.and attends a DNC fundraiser

  • i hate tony hawwood

  • important information, please see my special news alert: ENN (Emergency News Now) (2) Evacuation of Gulf States/FEMA

  • way to go Republicans. you got what you wanted. what next, the economy? Stolen elections have their consequences. And you are still preaching drill baby drill. The ocean belongs to everyone and not just for the locals who want oil jobs.

  • @ronstadtfanaz wtf! why won't the democrates make BP stop sinking the oil into the ocean's bottom...why won't they mandate them to use all water-skimmers?? What are they doing to fix it!!! We're dying down here in South Louisiana

  • @ronstadtfanaz "way to go republicans" Implying ONLY republicans use oil lol, I got news for you the keyboard you typed that ignorant comment is made of um OIL LOL You Hypocrite faggot

  • @ronstadtfanaz so true i agree with you thats why i dont like Republicans

  • Looks like this will the worst oil diaster of all time and it will take along time before things will ever be the same in the Gulf. The problem will get worse when a hurricane or two will put the icing on the cake. Oh by the way when BP goes bankrupt who do you think will flip the bill for this but you poor american tax payers. My god I thought you guys were in deep enough financial trouble already with 2 wars to pay for plus your corrupt financial sector but this will break the camel's back..

  • this was BP's fault and they are some of the most to blame for the moment. but if you want a company to pay back a dept you don't force their hand and cut their dividend to nothing & forces a quick sale off of their stocks seeing they are now worthless. retires only stood to really hurt from that move well and the fact that you also just might have caused BP to go bankrupt.. Can't pay back a dept if you are no longer around. right now we as a World need to get this leak STOPPED..

  • Scuba diving in diarrhea~

  • this is as much our fault as it is BP's,offshore drilling is gonna have to happen if you want gas to be around $2 a gallon,if we dont drill offshore,then everyone will bitch and gripe about gas prices.And this is the biggest oil spill?what about america sinking those fucking oil tankers back in WW2 and spilling billions of gallons of oil everywhere.they dont wanna talk about that shit though

  • @1865ify id like to know more about these oil tankers you mention

  • This is such a tragedy, We all need to lend a hand in some way to help out the victims of this event. Check out my music video of a song, "In America", i wrote to raise charity for NP organizations helping this cause. Check my channel for updates.

    Thank you,

    Jonathan Panks

  • @Steelerguy6178 It's none of that. It is a giant fuck up as a result of mankinds desperate addiction to oil. It is very simple. Humans have fucked up, once again. It is a sign of things to come. You, I, they, we are not that clever; at the end.

  • What aboot leeaving some sound caanons

    To scare away the animals, they used em on Canucks at the gee you're all nuts 20 meeting in torontonia?

  • Make BP provide a $ 500 debit card for every cleaning crew member. They can spend the money to support restaurants and stores in the area that so badly need it now. Don't let BP get away with the mess they have created. Let's Make'em Pay!

  • Looks like when someone has diarhea in a pool and everyone runs but this guy likes to swim in it. What a perv!

  • Chernobyl in the Gulf...

  • @Deokishisu Undeniably.

  • Great video but I really feel bad for the wildlife that being affected by this spill. Health is really priceless.

  • Good job, man! -Thanks.

  • Obama should be impeached! He spends money like a 16 year old girl at the mall but refuses help from other nations who have expertice in disasters like this. His only answer is to shut down deep water drilling and put another 60k people on the unemployment line!

  • @40markava Don't be a fucking dickhead. "ooooooh, Obama made this happen, oooh Obama is to blame." Pay attention. 8 years of "drill, baby, drill". Let's get another retarded quote from Palin! Let's hurry and reverse 8 years of Republican Oil Lobby FUCKING BULLSHIT! Grow up, c**t!

  • @40markava lmao

  • The fish are photoshopped

  • Scott it was good to see you this is Diver will be coming to see you soon we have been collecting Dawn soap to help out, I will give u a call soon, ps I have a tattoo shop in greenville tx and need help getting soap if you can help please do thanks,

  • Does anyone know where we can get a new planet?

  • @MrAdrian231 have you tried UrAnus?

  • Boy.... there sure are some crazies in here.... love to see such imaginative vision on a very big very simple issue.

  • God says "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land," 2 Chronicles 7:14

  • you dont need drilling to "contribute" to life forms. life forms are very well able to survive without human dump dropped into the oceans.

  • spill, leak , eruption, drip, its all the same, the issue is the oil

  • The American people love being controlled by tyrants. Katrina had nearly no response whatsoever... yet the Haiti earthquake received instant relief, a hotline, money in the untold millions and nobody is surprised that these people aren't acting and opting to race yachts instead? The lies of 911 remain believed by the majority and just like every majority (Nazi Jews) the masses will be deceived and led to the slaughter. This is only the surface of this disaster. Peace.

  • Ahh yes.. it's going to be relaxing to watch all of the unbelieving portion of society wallow in sorrow over the MAN MADE deliberate disaster for weeks to months, following every government order and signing on to whatever new international environmental policy they present since "Global Warming" lost it's steam. As a believe in Revelation there is just a peaceful calm that comes over me when I see the truth manifest in real time. God Bless and Come to Christ.

  • @Modelmaterial7 AMEN!!!!

    2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

  • Thank god for artificial reefs.

  • horrible images, and all of this could have been prevent, if the excessive ambition wound´t blind us.

  • Why has no one reported the fact that Tony Hayward (Chief Exec) sold $1.7 Million in BP Stocks 2 weeks prior to the explosion?

    ...

  • That`s fucking SIFF! Look`s like they`re diving through a sewer!

  • Actually the Gov is clueless when it comes to nature (except for maybe NOAA). We already seen that before. I guess the rest of the world is looking on though while we fight it. What maybe they don't realize, that once this hits the gulf stream, if it has not already, It is going to spread everywhere. If you google the gulf stream, you will see the gulf stream flows right to the U.K.'s front door..

  • So this LEAK is destroying wildlife. If the Government had responded quicker, if the govt. had accepted help from the skimmer ships from foreign nations, if the govt. had authorized local authorities to make sand berms sooner/quicker, the damage to wildlife would have been reduced a lot.

    How come nobody here is ticked off at the government's INEPTITUDE and slowness in their response to this leak?

  • @dmak500

    Because the news media and the government have managed to convince us otherwise.

  • Odd...the estimates for this leak range from 5 to 10 TIMES the EXXON VALDEZ spill, and it hasn't stopped leaking yet.

    This is just one domestic oil well. We have many other wells that produce much more oil.

    With so much oil at home, how come our GASOLINE PRICES KEEP RISING?

  • hey...come to my site on facebook...it's bp's punishment...search it

  • Thanks for posting this. I'm a diver also and I'd thought of doing an Ireport for CNN along similar lines ... but lacked the access and the dive gear. 

  • This leak is a disaster. A big slap on mother natures face. However, it is a bit poetic that this happened to the country that opposed the Kyoto proctocol, been waging wars and corrupted countries all across the globe in order to collect oil. Might I add that the US is consuming most oil in the world? 2007 facts:

    United States: 20,680,000 bbl/day (population approx 300 million)

    China: 7,578,000 bbl/day (population approx 1300 million)

    Not good!

  • @blackconrow Problems with your post:

    1. US opposes Kyoto protocol for economic reasons, but many climate scientists have also demonstrated that the effect of human-generated CO2 on climate is grossly overstated by the GAIA/GREEN/MARXIST movement.

    2. Europe, Japan, & China all import vast amounts of oil but rely on our military to police the Mideast.

    3. The entire world uses 85 million barrels per day, so US consumption is about 24% of global. Please check facts before you post!

  • @blackconrow Page 2 of my reply to you: Yes, per capita consumption in Communist China (a police state) is lower than in US, because a large % of the Chinese population are very low income rural peasants who own no cars or trucks, etc. Very few US pampered liberals would be willing to live like ChiCom peasants do. Would you give up all your conveniences? I ride a bicycle everywhere, everyday----you?

  • @bboucharde 1. The same economic reasons you mention does not just apply the US. Every country in this planet has to make a sacrifice. If you choose to disregard the fact that we have a global climate issue at hand then what can i say?

    2. The mideast is a very complex problem. No one asked them to police the mideast. The US executed their plan and now has to deal with the aftermath. You can't perform coup d'egras and mess aroud with souverign states worldwide without expecting retaliation.
