Maddow- That Was Then This Is Then, 1979 & 2010 Oil Disaster Similarities 11
MSNBC’s Dr. Rachel Maddow’s segment titled “That Was Then, This Is Then” From 5-26-2010. An Expose on the similarities between the the 1979 disasters with the Alaskan pipeline and the many similarities between the 2010 disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The shocking part comes when Maddow points out the fact that the processes being attempted today to contain the Deepwater Horizon disaster are pretty much the exact same procedures being attempted today only in much deeper water circumstances (1979 explosion occurred at 200 feet while the 2010 disaster is ongoing at this writing at 5000 ft.) NO ADVANCEMENT IN HANDLING THIS TYPE OF TROUBLE IN OVER 30 YEARS!
