Raw Video: Oil Containment Box Arrives at Spill

[MrBigEnchilada]

we're screwing up nature

[AzNgiftedkid]

Too bad it failed.

[sailorseal]

the Nature and the planet will make us pay it soon !!!!

[SPACECADET2U]

Well that was a big ole fail................

[RoadRunnerProduction]

@AdamEtheredge What about it?? lol

[sparkie231]

why doesnt obama just part the ocean like moses to make the repairs easier

[lakesidewelder]

@AdamEtheredge no they were not. dosent it seem funny, there is 5 saftey features that all failed??

[MrFredGSanford]

This video sucks. Looks like it was taken by an amateur. Pan up to the clouds? WTF??

[AndrewDeLong]

@bsatom 100 tons and the height of a 4 story building....that's QUITE massive, by any standards. Not to say the thing worked (it really didn't....but to say that it's too small to get the job done is wrong. Ice buildup was the reason it didn't work. Not it's size.

[korzon]

@AndrewDeLong They need to use heat exchangers like in water pumps to keep the stuff from freezing that might be a problem.

[AndrewDeLong]

@korzon

Well, that could work....or...it would have if they didn't just make the hole in the pipe bigger. Now, who the hell knows what's gonna work. I daresay that they might as well nuke the bastard at this point. It's not like it can really do any worse.

[korzon]

@AndrewDeLong Never tested a nuke around all that oil if it did ignite it would spread so fast it couldnt be put out let alone got near to again to attempt tp plug it.Yeh i work with diesel fuel it takes it to be atomized but im sure a nuke does that np.also the sludge jells up/freeze and once it builds up enough in the general area it stays down because its to heavy to go above the sea level anymore then we cant get to it either. this sucks

[AndrewDeLong]

@korzon

Well, a Nuke a mile down wouldn't ignite the surface oil at all. Water has a high capacity for absorbing energy, and at a fairly decent rate too. A small nuke would be just enough to fuse the pipe shut w/o massive damage. Perhaps a tidal wave, but honestly, a small price to pay in order to stop the oil flow. As for radiation, the water would also quickly absorb and disperse that with minimal environmental impact. Yes, a small Hiroshima sized nuke would work well.

[boogyshoes20]

Pretty weak design.I would have made the box a lot wider and in two sections. the First section would be only 2 sidewalls, the second would be the remaining two walls and the roof. Once the first section is properly placed over the leak, the second section could be lowered into position and arc welded into place by the robot submersibles. Since both section are open during the decent, ice would not have the chance to accumulate on the sidewalls since water would be flowing between both sections.

@boogyshoes20 BP doesn't hire engineers. They hire circus clowns.

[TheBilderbergGr0up]

I don't see it, this is a FAKE

[WinterHaven]

@AdamEtheredge Little do they tell you this oil slick is going to poison the fresh water aquifer! HA! Karma!

[Johngeiger747]

Goldman sachs would gain trillions of dollars if a cap and trade was passed, remember they bought into the CCX alone with Obama

[Johngeiger747]

Think people think Goldman Sachs was let in on it and was told it was gonna happen a few days before it happened!

[Johngeiger747]

Come on people wake up! The government/bilderburg people did this to push americans into cap and trade and carbon tax and to curb coal and oil production.

[Johngeiger747]

Obama is loving this spill,... now he gets to push his Cap and trade and carbon tax bills and the American people will want it after this!

[COM0fAek]

Those are some mighty calm seas. Better get that oversized outhouse down and in place quickly while the calm weather holds.

[Mickeytheredone]

Oil sludge hurricane. OMG. I just hope the high tech fix (joking) of a concrete box actually works!

[BClocals]

DRILL BABY DRILL!

[getorphan]

@Yoetah Could be the chickens are coming home to roost too. Stock market crashed today down 1000 points. It is up a bit now as Goldman and assorted thieves took their profits.

[copperpaint]

We seriously need to turn to alternate sources of fuel. What effects our planet effects us too.

[korzon]

@copperpaint They have alternatives natural gas is way abundant and quite safe.I worked with it not to good on volume because a 18 by 64 inch tank only gives you 200 miles thats a big tank but some i worked on ran on both gas and natural gas.I was hoping maybe i will get my old job back because i was phased out after they found out cars can safely run off it that is when the government scaped the funding.I repowered old military vehichles with a cum b5.9 natural gas engine propane works too.

[korzon]

@copperpaint It seemed the problem they had is there are no natural gas fill stations and they couldnt refuel traveling base to base with the vehichles but the local vehichles are still natural gas.There are many other ways we dont even know of.They brag about technology they dont give it out unless there is money to be made thats the problem.

[jaowseph]

If this were the Bush administration this would take much longer.

[FlowerClown]

@jaowseph This is due to deregulation of oil companies during the Bush years.

Oil man in the White house the oil companies will play with our lives and destroy the Earth.

[WinterHaven]

@AdamEtheredge Karma is a bitch, isn't it.

[WinterHaven]

I betcha it will fail, if even if it doesn't it will topple over with the next hurricane - around the corner! SPEW BABY SPEW!
