@EGYPTIANHISTORY No, caucasians are people from Europe, Africa, and East Asia. Not South Asia, where India is. Btw did I mention the Old BP ceo was british. The oil spill here is also a Canadian companies fault so I don't know why you are stupid enough randomly blame caucasians.
Caucasain are not from Africa, Asia or southern Asia..... That lie does not work... you are R1A1 and R1B1 DNA HALPOTYPE GROUP which originated in the Caucus mountian hence the word CAUCASAINs.

Caucasain are not from Canada ..., remember that land is also Indigenous peoples land. Remember your forefather killed and invaded those lands... you are from eastern europe caucasain....

@LilTortillaBoy420 We have the technology to spot an asteroid thousands of miles before it comes close to earth. Besides there are not many asteroids that have made it past Earth's atmosphere in the last few million years.
im a rich kid !! and my daddy is making money of this shit !!! AHAHHA all the poor people suffer while my daddy gets richier and richier !! LIFE IS GOOD !!! :) fuck pesants.
Once again responsible people will walk away with a little bit of spanking..... Charges for people responsible for accidents like this should be much more serious , making them actually pay attention to the safety and handling aspects....
This is chemically refined oil MUCH MUCH worse as the a-biotic oli is created and eaten by microbes. The gulf has adapted to the common ground leak (not the COREXIT) This spill is just NASTY!

This oil spill is the fault of both BP and the United States government.
This incident would've never happened if BP performed better inspections or if the US government didn't force them to drill in waters of an unsafe depth. Personally, I think that is is more the US government's fault because they knew about the terrible safety record of BP, but still forced them to drill in risky waters. The government also acted pitifully in the handling and containment of the spill.
First the gulf spill, then the alaska pipe line was shut down, now this! Enbridge was on quite a climb up the stock exchange over the last 2 & 1/2 months. Now this happens. Isn't it too many coincidences? Am I the only one who smells a rat?
@phodem12pm oil is the combination of two parts. one part has positive charge the other one has negative charge. on part will stick to the water's surface but the other part will remain in the bottom so just using fire is not going to work if the oil keeps flowing into the river.
@xL3G3NDxsniper then why when you mix oil and water does is separate into 2 parts? oil sits on the surface. only dispersants make it sit on the bottom.
@sidstille like i said one part is polar and the other one is non polar. one of the two will remain on the bottom because its heavier thats why just using fire its not going to solve the oil spill. people need to learn is that if you are going to do something at least learn how to fix it or learn the solution to it before doing this. all these money hungry companies they just care about money. they dont care if the oil spills or damages the ecosystem . and they haven't stopped
Wow, I'm guessing oil spills are IN nowadays. We have on in China, the GOM of course, another one spewing into the air right off the coast of LA, and now this. What the fuck? Is this some sort of new raging fad?
pete hoekstra didnt like the idea of a wind farm off the coast of lake MI OR an EV battery plant in holland! ARE YOU READY FOR CLEAN ENERGY YET?! renewable energy is knocking at michigans door and were ailing for a new industry yet morons like hoekstra and amash are afraid its "not economical"...f**k you, you dont deserve michigan. snyder 2012!
@theash3s its in a river, so its going to get cleaned up before it hits the lake, but the residual will keep the river cruddy for at least a few years...
Damn. I am up for any affordable way to prevent this type of stuff from happening in the future. I'm sure it can be done. But like starting a new business, you must have start up capital. Capital that we spent a huge chunk of to help those "too big to fail" companies. Seems like we really have shit backwards.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Everyone who uses petroleum products is responsible for this incident.
How ironic that all the rich white folks with their cell phone cameras are parking their gas guzzling SUV's next the the kzoo river bridge here in Marshall to take pix of the spill.
@MOMXXXXX I've seen a variety of vehicles (mostly cars), bikes and walkers checking out the spill at the15 Mile Road bridge. To be honest, I've not seen anyone that looked 'rich'. Most are white. I never considered that might be offensive. How do you know they weren't poor people, using their government issued free cell phones & driving a gas guzzler because they couldn't afford an expensive new green vehicle? I hope we can focus on the real problem instead of those observing the spill.
@PictureTakinDiva Government issued free cell phones? I am among the poor and the government never issues anything like that where I live. Fox news got your brain? If not, what would make you believe such crap? Contempt for the poor?
@MOMXXXXX you know whats the funniest thing about your comment? Your typing on, looking at, and listening to Petroleum products... Until you decide to live in a hut somewhere without plastics, papers, a car, cellphone, computer... pretty anything that u use on your day to day life, YOUR dependency on petroleum is equal to theres. And let me just ask one more question which I'm sure I don't need answered.... Why does race play such a huge role in your statement?
@MOMXXXXX Are you aware of how much petroleum is used in making the computer you typed this on? Are you aware that our BLACK president rides around in cars and airships, fueled by...petroleum? Are you suggesting there are no rich peoples of color? Maybe wasteful gangsters in "the hood" flaunting their new cars and fashions are not contributing to the problem right? Successful biz owners of color are not contributing, right? Go read a book and educate yourself a bit, don't be an ignorant bigot.
The problem is, everything we use in our daily lives is partly made from petroleum. It doesn't matter if it's a "Rick white folk" or w/e. With your argument, the entire world is responsible for this. Our current way of life is dependent on oil. Hell, without petroleum, you wouldn't of been even capable of typing your comment.
@MOMXXXXX Nice show of ignorance. Everyone who uses petroleum is responsible? Really? Because when I used waxpaper to wrap my sandwich this morning I didn't see any oil explode from the ground. I also didn't see it happen when I was walking down the street today on a newly paved road (petroleum is used as a binder in most roads.) Also, I saw 2 black guys in an escalade and 3 mexicans in a work truck and 1 white guy driving to work in an SUV and I saw no oil flowing from the ground. Get fucked.
@MOMXXXXX You nailed it! We should definitely be focusing our blame on the white race and, more specifically, rich people. Because, when you think about it, this whole oil spill thing is really about racism. I mean I never see black people driving around in Trucks or SUV's...You know why? Because Trucks & SUV's are racist! Also, the fact that the oil ruining the gulf is black is racist. Why does it gotta be black? If it were white oil I bet you this wouldn't even be a problem. Damn crackers..
@MOMXXXXX Do you drive a car, truck, motorcycle, etc.? Do you use electricity? I bet if I rode by your house, I'd see at least one car in your driveway, and no solar panels on your roof. Better yet, you have a tractor pull vid on your homepage. Please provide us with any other information that would suspend our beliefs that you sir, are a total hypocrite. Until then, troll somewhere else.
I don't mean to get preachy, but money & power are our god's in this world, which results in a lack of integrity, which may be what allowed this disaster to occur. Profit comes before safety, power before honesty. Politicians, businesses & individuals wrestle with these issues everyday. The question we need to ask is how we rate on the integrity scale personally? It's easy to overlook our faults while criticizing others. I hope Enbridge steps up & does right even after the spotlight is gone!
@PictureTakinDiva IF someone came down to you and said Live without worries for the rest of your (and family( lives (money and power) or feed people who you do not know what would you HONESTLY pick
I posted a few photos of the spill on FB, including one of a goose covered in oil. It appears YouTube will not allow me to attach the link. I know geese can be considered a pest, but no one wants to see them suffer and die this way. I saw 3 box turtles covered in oil yesterday. The impact on the smallest creature to the largest (mankind and nature) is mind-boggling. How can this every be cleaned up & restored?
The pipe is owned by a Canadian company, Enbridge. The pipeline runs from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada to Chicago, IL. This is not their first spill. There was a 126,000 gal spill in North Dakota in JAN of this year, 2 spills in Wisc. in 2007 and a dozen leaks in Michigan since 2003.
THE FAST DETECTION WITH OUR ILDS - LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM CAN AVOID SPILL LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE SYSTEM ALARMS THE SPILL IN 30 TO 45 SECONDS! STOPPING PUMPS AND CLOSING VALVES REDUCES THE SPILL TO A LITTLE AMOUNT, AVOIDING THE DISASTER.

Benzene has strong oxidizers, many flourides, perchlorates, nitric acid, is colorles to yellowish liquid which would then have an odor, is an eye, nose, and throat irritant. adversely affects the respitory system, causes giddiness, headaches, nausia, staggered gait, fatigue, anorexia, lassitude, dermititis, attacks the bone marrow, causes depression & is a carcinogen. Usually crude can also have methylene chloride, and hydrogen sulfide and immediate medical attention is needed from exposure.
@nachomalacho tell me about it! i can't understand how such negligence can occur! this is our fucking drinking water now! somebody say "this is a sign"?
@ThisBoyTV The leak came from a 30 inch pipe that carries oil from Sarnia, Canada to Chicago. I don't know if the pipe runs through Lake Michigan or stays on land the entire way. A Canadian company, Enbridge owns the pipeline.
We mention it in our headlines today. A ruptured pipeline that has been there for many decades. Comes from Calgary across Canada and heads south near Duluth over to Chicago. 800,000 gallons reported leaked from a rupture. It does stay on land - underground.
Well, Obama's last Executive Order included the Great Lakes. It should keep people off the beaches there, too. See Agenda 21 video series on You Tube for more information.
@2minstral The pipeline is owned by a Canadian company, Enbridge. The pipeline runs from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada to Chicago, IL. This is not their first spill. There was a 126,000 gal spill in North Dakota in JAN of this year, 2 spills in Wisc. in 2007 and a dozen leaks in Michigan since 2003.
@PictureTakinDiva - It looks like Enbridge does not have a very good record.
610 oil spills in 9 years works out to 6 spills a month. These numbers are huge! Enbridge should be shut down! 812,500 gallons have been spilled here!
The oil that they send to the US is from the Tar sands in Alberta. For every barrel of oil made, they need to take 4 barrels of water from the Athabaska river. They also produce 2 barrels of toxic sludge from each barrel of oil and dump it in a lake of sludge. Sick!
People, whatever you can do, please... before this can get into Lake Michigan, we need to work together!
I just called 1-800-306-6837 to talk to a representative of Enbridge Energy. I asked them to please not use ANY dispersants in Lake Michigan, even if oil gets there.
The lady told me that they are spreading out booms and sucker trucks to try and collect it.
Heavy rains are coming on Wednesday and it will raise river levels and make intervention a tricky endeavor.
early this morning at about 3:30am I took my dogs outside and it smelled very strongly like burnt rubber in the air. We live in Battle Creek nearby the river and it just smelled disgusting. I'm already about to get myself some bottled water as i don't know how long to expect the water source to be safe and non-tainted.
then u better get rid of your keyboard, computer, television, phone(s) etc etc etc. Forgot most of clothing will have to go as well, your car, house etc etc. Watch out what food you eat due to the use of petro-chemicals. There is a lot of amnesia going around lately.
@ThisBoyTV Not true at all. Henry Ford invented a biodegradable plastic made from hemp in the 1940"s that is stronger than metal of the same wight. Wonder why that one never took off?
I am well aware of the benefits of products made from Hemp. Huge amounts are imported from China for the cosmetics industry. Point is that over the past 30 years the west got hooked on the "instant and toss away" world. The petro-chemical industry saw they could sell us the products to keep everyone hooked.
We are watching the results of their greed and our need. President Carter tried to change attitudes & look what happened to him.
I was planning to camp along the Kalamazoo river this weekend with my 2 labs, but I'm not even going to think about letting them go near that water now. Doesn't it just make you so angry how stupid people are sometimes?
I used to live in Marshall. Its a bit more rich of a town than most areas around it as far as the budget they work with. Its amazing that they would let something progress as much as this has. Its sickening to see something like this in an area like that. I mean in the Gulf thats basically all they do is drill for oil, but you just wouldn't ever expect something like that here.
I'm not against drilling for oil, or transporting/delivering it safely to the citizen's in this great country...and I realize accidents happen...but if this spill could have been prevented...
The long lasting consequences to the residents, local wildlife and natural beauty is mind-boggling! I wonder who will foot the bill for the cleanup? Or if we will ever find out the truth of why this happened?
@theawesometodd The pipeline is owned by a Canadian company, Enbridge. The pipeline runs from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada to Chicago, IL. This is not their first spill. There was a 126,000 gal spill in North Dakota in JAN of this year, 2 spills in Wisc. in 2007 and a dozen leaks in Michigan since 2003.
MARSHALL TOWNSHIP -- A leaking pipeline spilled about 840,000 gallons of oil into a creek leading to the Kalamazoo River on Monday.
The leak is rom a pipeline malfunction that was still under investigation Monday, said Tom Fridel, general manager for Enbridge Liquids Pipelines in Chicago. The 30-inch pipeline carries about 8 million gallons of oil per day from Griffith, Indiana, to Sarnia, Ontario, according to Enbridge (the company taking responsibility)
Where are the oil booms?

where do you think the plastic in your computer comes from? where does the gas you put in your car come from? the oil in your car?
Oil is in EVERYTHING.

@MOMXXXXX You nailed it! We should definitely be focusing our blame on the white race and, more specifically, rich people. Because, when you think about it, this whole oil spill thing is really about racism. I mean I never see black people driving around in Trucks or SUV's...You know why? Because Trucks & SUV's are racist! Also, the fact that the oil ruining the gulf is black is racist. Why does it gotta be black? If it were white oil I bet you this wouldn't even be a problem. Damn crackers..

@MOMXXXXX Do you drive a car, truck, motorcycle, etc.? Do you use electricity? I bet if I rode by your house, I'd see at least one car in your driveway, and no solar panels on your roof. Better yet, you have a tractor pull vid on your homepage. Please provide us with any other information that would suspend our beliefs that you sir, are a total hypocrite. Until then, troll somewhere else.

I don't mean to get preachy, but money & power are our god's in this world, which results in a lack of integrity, which may be what allowed this disaster to occur. Profit comes before safety, power before honesty. Politicians, businesses & individuals wrestle with these issues everyday. The question we need to ask is how we rate on the integrity scale personally? It's easy to overlook our faults while criticizing others. I hope Enbridge steps up & does right even after the spotlight is gone!

I posted a few photos of the spill on FB, including one of a goose covered in oil. It appears YouTube will not allow me to attach the link. I know geese can be considered a pest, but no one wants to see them suffer and die this way. I saw 3 box turtles covered in oil yesterday. The impact on the smallest creature to the largest (mankind and nature) is mind-boggling. How can this every be cleaned up & restored?

The pipe is owned by a Canadian company, Enbridge. The pipeline runs from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada to Chicago, IL. This is not their first spill. There was a 126,000 gal spill in North Dakota in JAN of this year, 2 spills in Wisc. in 2007 and a dozen leaks in Michigan since 2003.

THE FAST DETECTION WITH OUR ILDS - LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM CAN AVOID SPILL LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE SYSTEM ALARMS THE SPILL IN 30 TO 45 SECONDS! STOPPING PUMPS AND CLOSING VALVES REDUCES THE SPILL TO A LITTLE AMOUNT, AVOIDING THE DISASTER.

Benzene has strong oxidizers, many flourides, perchlorates, nitric acid, is colorles to yellowish liquid which would then have an odor, is an eye, nose, and throat irritant. adversely affects the respitory system, causes giddiness, headaches, nausia, staggered gait, fatigue, anorexia, lassitude, dermititis, attacks the bone marrow, causes depression & is a carcinogen. Usually crude can also have methylene chloride, and hydrogen sulfide and immediate medical attention is needed from exposure.

@ThisBoyTV The leak came from a 30 inch pipe that carries oil from Sarnia, Canada to Chicago. I don't know if the pipe runs through Lake Michigan or stays on land the entire way. A Canadian company, Enbridge owns the pipeline.

@PictureTakinDiva
We mention it in our headlines today. A ruptured pipeline that has been there for many decades. Comes from Calgary across Canada and heads south near Duluth over to Chicago. 800,000 gallons reported leaked from a rupture. It does stay on land - underground.

Well, Obama's last Executive Order included the Great Lakes. It should keep people off the beaches there, too. See Agenda 21 video series on You Tube for more information.

@PictureTakinDiva - It looks like Enbridge does not have a very good record.
610 oil spills in 9 years works out to 6 spills a month. These numbers are huge! Enbridge should be shut down! 812,500 gallons have been spilled here!
The oil that they send to the US is from the Tar sands in Alberta. For every barrel of oil made, they need to take 4 barrels of water from the Athabaska river. They also produce 2 barrels of toxic sludge from each barrel of oil and dump it in a lake of sludge. Sick!

People, whatever you can do, please... before this can get into Lake Michigan, we need to work together!
I just called 1-800-306-6837 to talk to a representative of Enbridge Energy. I asked them to please not use ANY dispersants in Lake Michigan, even if oil gets there.
The lady told me that they are spreading out booms and sucker trucks to try and collect it.
Heavy rains are coming on Wednesday and it will raise river levels and make intervention a tricky endeavor.

early this morning at about 3:30am I took my dogs outside and it smelled very strongly like burnt rubber in the air. We live in Battle Creek nearby the river and it just smelled disgusting. I'm already about to get myself some bottled water as i don't know how long to expect the water source to be safe and non-tainted.

@rusc2008 Buy plastic bottle water and you continue to support the oil industry and potentially see more of this in the future.
Plastic bottles are big business for oil companies.

@ThisBoyTV Not true at all. Henry Ford invented a biodegradable plastic made from hemp in the 1940"s that is stronger than metal of the same wight. Wonder why that one never took off?
LIBERTYDOGG77 1 year ago
@LIBERTYDOGG77
I am well aware of the benefits of products made from Hemp. Huge amounts are imported from China for the cosmetics industry. Point is that over the past 30 years the west got hooked on the "instant and toss away" world. The petro-chemical industry saw they could sell us the products to keep everyone hooked.
We are watching the results of their greed and our need. President Carter tried to change attitudes & look what happened to him.

When i buy water I usually get a jug or 2 and refill them which cuts the cost and the amount of bottles laying around

I was planning to camp along the Kalamazoo river this weekend with my 2 labs, but I'm not even going to think about letting them go near that water now. Doesn't it just make you so angry how stupid people are sometimes?
rusc2008 1 year ago
I used to live in Marshall. Its a bit more rich of a town than most areas around it as far as the budget they work with. Its amazing that they would let something progress as much as this has. Its sickening to see something like this in an area like that. I mean in the Gulf thats basically all they do is drill for oil, but you just wouldn't ever expect something like that here.

This oil is headed to Lake Michigan and the drinking water source for millions.

I'm not against drilling for oil, or transporting/delivering it safely to the citizen's in this great country...and I realize accidents happen...but if this spill could have been prevented...
The long lasting consequences to the residents, local wildlife and natural beauty is mind-boggling! I wonder who will foot the bill for the cleanup? Or if we will ever find out the truth of why this happened?

MARSHALL TOWNSHIP -- A leaking pipeline spilled about 840,000 gallons of oil into a creek leading to the Kalamazoo River on Monday.
The leak is rom a pipeline malfunction that was still under investigation Monday, said Tom Fridel, general manager for Enbridge Liquids Pipelines in Chicago. The 30-inch pipeline carries about 8 million gallons of oil per day from Griffith, Indiana, to Sarnia, Ontario, according to Enbridge (the company taking responsibility)
