August 10, 2010 - 40ft Sand Shark in Orange Beach Today

At a press conference held today in Orange Beach, Keith Seilham, BP Incident Commander in Mobile, demonstrated the huge new Sand Shark beach cleaning machine. After a brief introduction and questions from the media, the Sand Shark traveled to the beach for a demonstration. The custom built, deep cleaning machine will be used on the beaches of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, in conjunction with the cleaning processes already in place. The machine will remove the majority of contaminants up to 18" deep, will return the clean sand to the beach, and will sift at a rate of 1.5 mph. Tests have found it to be 10 times more effective than tools currently in use. Additional machines will be put into use over the next six weeks. Never thought I would be glad to see Sharks at the beach!

The other tools that were used are the result of contaminated workers if you want to accomplish something amazing the removal of contamination out of the wildlife ,sea life that is unquestionably has prevented me from eating seafood.

Hey my boyfriend built that machine! And yes they are making more of them, but it's not as easy as you think it is to make one, it takes more than a day to make a single machine, it actually takes more than a week per machine.

Robo is telling the truth going that slow it WILL get the job done but... Very... Very... Very... Slow they need at least 10 of these on every main beach and at least 3 on a small beach

@RoboWii83 This is just the prototype. They are making a fleet of these.

the fact that it goes that slow and that their is only one really doesnt do much, that thing is probably lucky if it gets 5 miles of beach in a day
