Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill: 35 Days From Space [720p]
The MODIS instrument, on board NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites, is capturing images of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The spill began on April 20, 2010 with the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. This short video reveals a space-based view of the burning oil rig and, later, the ensuing oil spill through May 24, 2010. The oil slick appears grayish-beige in the images and changes due to changing weather, ocean currents, and the use of oil dispersing chemicals. Images in the video time series were selected that show the spill most clearly. The full image archive is available on the MODIS Rapid Response Web site at rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov credit: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov source: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, MODIS Rapid Response Project
Video Rating: 4 / 5
BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles continues to insist no massive underwater oil plumes in ‘large concentrations’ have been detected from the spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But deep underwater – the oil is so thick that it blocks out almost all of the light below. As seen on AP video images filmed by divers 64 kilometers off the coast of Venice, Louisiana.

@snypathug Yeah and no… Bush and Cheney made this happen yes but Obama came in claiming all of this was going to change and a democratic congress and president couldn’t make this happen.
Fuck you dumb fucking idiot.
You all thought I was a hero when I spent 8 bashing bush and now you pieces of garbage don’t like me now that I don’t like Barack “Nothing Changed” Obomber….
WOW, If you are still that hung up on race… you have problems.
the animals in the gulf are more important than race.
@thejoejoe3 -Well let’s see…There are 3,500 Oil Rigs in the water off the U.S. Coast. Only 79 are “Deep Water” Rigs like the one presently destroying the Gulf coast and soon to be in your neighborhood, whatever country you live in. There are ONLY 62 Inspectors of these 3,500 oil Rigs. You do the math.
You SUV drivers of bankrupt GM need that BP gas to get to work but you whine now. Hmmmm.
Blame the “Safety system” not BP. It could have been any Oil Company with this catastrophe.
HIS S BULL SHIT!! IF I WERE TO HAVE CAUSED HI ISTAKE I WOULD BE IN PRISON!!! BUT NO BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS CAN GET OFF THE HOOK AND NO ONE IS BEING PUT IN PRISON OR ANYTHING!!
THIS IS BULL SHIT!! FUCK THE RICH!!
@MrSpieldose You’re an idiot. The BP spill happened because of the Bush administration, particularly Dick Cheney. His laxed restriction and policies implemented on the oil industry caused this leak. Saftey measures which are forcibly in place in Europe and around the world, are not in the United States. This is Cheney’s doing, to save his administration some cash.
@st4ticblu3
spell check is automagic in this forum you ignorant amercain. Try and figure out wut that means about your anal retentive personality.
bye bye
That is pretty disgusting looking. BP executives are witches!!! Burn them at the stake! Burn them at the stake! First, put this funny looking black witch hat on them, and give them a carrot for a nose. Now that they look like a witch……Burn them at the stake!!! Burn them at the stake!!! Burn them at the stake!!!
THEY DO NOT WHAT THE OIL TO STOP FLOWING!
BILLION $ A DAY IS MADE OFF THIS HOLE
THEY WANT 2 FIX IT AND KEEP PUMPING—RUSSIANS COULD HAVE FIXED THIS FIRST DAY
THEY DON’T WANT THE HOLE CLOSED
WAKE UP PEOPLE
WE ARE SLAVES TO THE BANKS, OIL COMPANIES AND THE GOVERNMENT!!
@picklemetinkie Drop the fairydust and unicorn mental slavery shit please. We can’t just fuck up everything hoping that a majical sadomasochistic hippie is going to whisk us into the sky just in time. Grownups understand that one day we’re going to die and that will be that. We live on through passing adaptations to our children. This has been the way for billions of years before any human chewed an opium poppy and saw “God”.
@thejoejoe3 If you hand a guy a loaded gun and he kills someone, are you totally blameless for his actions?
You allow oil to be drilled then there is risks and danger attached, before the pres shoots his mouth off he should wait till after all the facts have been gathered and a post mortem done, you ever thought that maybe your health and safety laws were not strict enough that could have led to this disaster!!
People who live in glass houses and all that………..IRAQ!!!
i think we should all focus on positive comments to create a more positive reality
Look at all the marine life swimming in this oil…. It’s really sad. It’s one thing to continue to use fossil fuels which already hurt the environment. Now look what happens, Maybe this will be the day that we get our heads out our asses and realize what we are doing.
The father of rig worker, Jason Anderson, says they can clean up pelicans, they can clean up fish…? What?!? How in the fuck can you clean up fish if they absorb, ingest oil?!?
@emantabrizi if he approves of it off of the nation he runs, he is guilty.
you all did nothing when Katrina happened and that was bushes fault but Obama doing nothing now is stupid???
wow, maybe you should just stick to butchering kids in Afghanistan. considering I am not even American.
@MrSpieldose … You’re blaming this on the President? Don’t be a fucking idiot.
@1HumanKind Before you call people stupid or ignorant. You should really do a spell check and maybe a quick once over of your sentence composition. You must be one of those French-Canadians.
@1111news
typical ignorant amercain, too stupid to recognize sarcasm. lucky for you you are too stupid to realize your ignorance. and lucky for you, you are surrounded by ignorance.
@MightySaturn5
boy you must be respected
and I’ll bet you got lots of great friends.
That’s why you spend hours and hours trolling.
you win
@s1lentGFX yeah…sometimes I think P.M. is not time asssociated with the afternoon or evening but initials
@MightySaturn5 This is why people think the right are retarded
Boycott Castrol Oil in your car, it’s a bloody BP product.
@ejbh3160 Praying for a miracle! I don’t want to see that happen.
@1HumanKind -don’t blame Mr. Bush when it was I and not him that accidently wrapped my shlong around your mothers tonsils and yanked her eyes out through her mouth while simutaneously blasting a quart of piping hot liquid DNA towards her facial region. Obviously this still bothers you however even you have to admit how silly you looked as you worriedly ran to her side while bubbling semen poured from her recently emptied eye sockets and lathered your head like a shampoo comercial gone wrong.
@1HumanKind I did not vote for Bush I am down south but It does not mater to you who it is – you would have something bad to say either way just because you hate America. And it sure as hell is not God making millions of fish and other marine life die – gagging on oil. You have a perverted sense of how God may or may not act on Earth and quite frankly your testing the waters in my opinion.
@theagrafiotis
oh okay ^_^ glad to see ur awake to the NWO aswell.. i wear a shirt that says “resist the nwo”
and some idiot sheep says ‘whats that? wrestling??”
This is Gods punishment for all those in the south who voted for Bush.
Ignorance should be punished.
