C-130 Aerial Dispersant On Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
airboyd.tv Video by SSgt. Jose Contreras. Courtesy USCG, Deepwater Horizon Response Unit HOUMA, La. — An aircrew releases oil dispersant over an oil discharge from the mobile offshore drilling unit, Deepwater Horizon, off the shore of Louisiana, May 5, 2010. To date, the unified response has dropped 156364 gallons of oil dispersant on the discharge.
The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing entitled “Inquiry into the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Coast Oil Spill” on Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Chairman Stupak explains that the committee investigation found that the blowout preventer had multiple problems—it had an apparent significant leak in a key hydraulic system, was modified in unexpected ways, was not powerful enough to do what it was supposed to do (cut through joints in the drill pipe), and that the “deadman switch” (which is supposed to activate the blowout preventer when all else fails) had a dead battery among other issues.

to the crews thank you for tryiing to save our awesome coast and beachesand most of all our GREAT SEAFOOD…….
That’s not a sea plane, donchaknow… the gloves are to hide the white knuckles from the bumpy ass ride, at altitude the plane don’t buck around as much.. Ha just kiddin’. Nice piloting!! Goo’d luck cleanin that up.
@sciiworks I meant be a pilot… 🙂
@MrJamDiaz mmmm well hopefully on crops and not oil……these cowboys are ruining the ocean with the dispersants.
@BrotherBloat ok thanks
@airboyd ok thanks! Ill watch it now
@Flyglobespan93 If you watch my General Spruance video on crash survival, he explains that military pilots should always wear gloves because, in a crash the glove will save their hands from the fire.
yea, why gloves?
thanks for the video
Great video!
@Flyglobespan93 possibly because of the fact he’s constantly gripping the controls? kinda like driving gloves, apart form you’re exerting more force on your hands when you fly than when you drive 🙂
awesome vid, AB!
woah thats pretty low.. amazing
Why sould the pilot wear gloves to fly a plane? LOL
that was so cool!
That guy sounds like Bill Clinton!
GREAT JOB GUYS !!! I hope I do this some day…
Thank you, CG, for doing everything you can to fight this damn spill. Everyone down here is hoping that these dispersants work, and we’re all VERY grateful for CG and USAF help.
I’ve always thought the 130 was a beautiful plane, but never more so than now.
Well this is going to give those crazy chemtrail conspirators a hay-day…
awesome!!!

10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively hunted and
when caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be arranged. All assets
will be taken from you.
Too strict ?
The above laws are current immigration laws of MEXICO!
@TruthSeekinOne
8. If foreigners come here and buy land… options will be restricted. Certain
parcels including waterfront property are reserved for citizens naturally born
into this country.
9. Foreigners may have no protests; no demonstrations, no waving of a
foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his
policies. These will lead to deportation.
@TruthSeekinOne
5. Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office
6 Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food
stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs. Any
burden will be deported.
7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount at least
equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
contd.
New Immigration Laws: Read to the bottom or you will miss the message…
1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.
2. All ballots will be in this nation’s language..
3.. All government business will be conducted in our language.
4. Non-residents will NOT have the right to vote no matter how
long they are here.

BP needs to cut that riser pipe so that there is only one leak, instead of 2. Then, sink an old oil tanker or an FSO over the leak until the relief well can be dug. An electrically-heated riser pipe can convey the oil to a tanker at the surface.
Since BP’s efforts at resolving this crisis have repeatedly failed, we think the POTUS should consider exercising extraordinary powers to force BP to allow the Army Corp of Engineers and other independent experts to assist them.
I think Florida needs more dead dolphins washing up on beaches to boost our economy
