Oil Spill off the Gulf Of Mexico 2010
NEW ORLEANS — Government officials said late Wednesday night that oil might be leaking from a well in the Gulf of Mexico at a rate five times that suggested by initial estimates. In a hastily called news conference, Rear Adm. Mary E. Landry of the Coast Guard said a scientist from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had concluded that oil is leaking at the rate of 5000 barrels a day, not 1000 as had been estimated. While emphasizing that the estimates are rough given that the leak is at 5000 feet below the surface, Admiral Landry said the new estimate came from observations made in flights over the slick, studying the trajectory of the spill and other variables. An explosion and fire on a drilling rig on April 20 left 11 workers missing and presumed dead. The rig sank two days later about 50 miles off the Louisiana coast. Doug Suttles, chief operating officer for exploration and production for BP, said a new leak had been discovered as well. Officials had previously found two leaks in the riser, the 5000-foot-long pipe that connected the rig to the wellhead and is now detached and snaking along the sea floor. One leak was at the end of the riser and the other at a kink closer to its source, the wellhead. But Mr. Suttles said a third leak had been discovered Wednesday afternoon even closer to the source. Im very, very confident this leak is new, he said. He also said the discovery of the new leak had not led them to believe that the total flow from the well …

hah it’s a trip how its written that in the last days the seas would turn red like blood. im not religious or nothing just an observation, just like its written that we would have a leader promising change and prosparity but will end up delivering pretty much the opposite of that..
@HeyYoKillEmo Yeah you’re right, and if they win the lawsuit they’ll keep the money for there own greed.
A lawsuit isn’t going to save the planet.There is no excuse.I hope everyone’s ready to burn
Is this woman and her speech writer retarded? :35 “if it migrates to shore”. Are you kidding, don’t you mean “when it migrates to shore”. WAKE UP your little last ditch playground antics aren’t going to do anything to hault this dibacle. You all set yourselves up as gods and then destroy your kingdomes and hurt your subjects. Man dominating man to his own injury.
@sisco49SH i hate you for your ignorance
@webwelder2000 that’s a pretty cool story bro.
i hope someone sues the crap out of BP
We are way to depending on oil
WHAT WOULD DANIEL PLAIVIEW DO?
PurityOfTheWolf is right, you know? o uo
The problem with the oil spill shouldn’t have even happened in the first place. It’s the fact that the people who work at the oil company and build the pipeline and such are idiots . C:
Well now we have two black seas…
@Plantum21 Well said :]
We need about 10000 beaners in diving suits to swim down and plug the hole with weedeaters and tortilla dough. Another 10000 could be swimming the gulf in a giant bean chain with booms between them to skim the oil the divers miss. If we could just make this happen we fix the spill and immigration problems in one shot! ARRREEEBBBAAAA!
@sisco49SH shut up! # 1 how is this gay? #2 this is real life and it could happen in your country too!! #3 im mexican,and i dont like other countreys and continents too but at least i show respect for other places knowing this could happen anywere at anytime HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF THIS HAPPENED TO WERE YOU LIVED TO?!?! YOU F*****G A** WHOLE!!
Democrats better put their shit together and clean this fucken mess. Vote Palin 2012! Palin 2012!
@snakesinmypants ha ha NOT…
suttles is a god damn LIAR| what an ass, bp is the worst thing 5that happened to America,,,boycott and run them out of existence…
wh@t3v dUmB DuD3
Dawn always cuts my oil!
try 420,000 gallons a day… dont believe these low estimations, they are liars
alert! everyone….. what is going on with the Tampa Bay evacuations?
I think Joe The Plumber can fix this.
@BryVerAus stfu
Yeah, sure this is a big problem right now. But off-shore drilling only causes 1% of oil pollution such as this leak. And then we got run-off from land that causes over 70% of it! We make a big deal out of this now but since when has it been such a big boom with run-off? I say that if we can put as much effort into a oil spill like this one now, then we should try doing to same about the oil that is constantly spilling into our oceans every day.

If I saw all the oil vampires of the world ripped to streds and their blood gushing freely out of the ocean just like the oil is gushing out now, it would not be enough punishment for what they’ve done. And that includes the head honchos in the Minerals Management Dept and Dept. of Interior who approved the drilling & every politican who owns a oil well and/or stock.
@LIGHTOFPERSIA – in the 1980s electrical cars were crushed. If those electric cars were around today no wars for oil would have occurred, many men, women and children (military & civilian) would be alive today, stopping the pollution that grows daily on the planet & eliminated 1 less gargantuan problem. See ev1 . org/
@M1i1c2h3a5e8l – Me too.
I read there are 5,300+ active oil wells around the world & 4,000 of them are in the Gulf of Mexico. And I was worried about a nuclear accident. Images of the Gulf oil disaster: waterfortheages(.)org/2010/05/20/gulf-oil-spill-of-2010-images-of-the-disaster/
I live in s. louisiana and this is beyond horrible. IT IS A TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE.
I’m speechlees…
Just only word I will say… GORGEOUS!
A message to BP Oil! Clean up and make safe your Atlantis oil rig, cause if this happens again, you will not be let off so easily.
Nicely done Bro, two thumbs up!!!
Beautiful video! I really like what you are doing! Another subscriber here from a fellow truther!
A message to BP….The Ocean….this is my Home….YOU WILL PAY
Very moving to my heart.

Revelation 8:8- And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9- And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Very sad..
That’s right, they’ll pay for what they’ve done..
Great video…5***********
Che disastro!
thankx!
…4 clip / zum nachdanken….hamid.
well done, BP sucks. I was in Valdez after the drunk Captain got stuck on the reef. it is sort amazing the greed and avarice in this world. I just want to ;ive somewhat comfortably. I don’t need multi-million dollar bonuses. A consortium of oil producers should get together as one to clean up the gulf. They could clean it up fast and still break even and start all over again acting within regulations. Because you know they’ll never quit.
Here goes my message to the oil industry “FUCK THIS PUTOS GREEDY MOTHER FUCKERS”
Dick Cheney and the CEO’s of Halliburton, Transocean, and BP MUST all be carefully protected in advance of their respective fair trials. I suggest not only police protection for these men, but also Secret Service, and perhaps even active-duty military protection for these honorable men.
I have heard reports of VERY large armies of dolphins, organizing specifically to gangrape these men in a VERY passionate and violent manner.
Dolphin Rape Gangs. Look out for them, Oil Whores…
profits and greed
A very moving video. Thank you so much for uploading this beauty!
@GrayRealities You “betcha”
