BP Plan B? -- Golf Balls, Shredded Tires.
Bp’s plan B? A “Junk Shot.” U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen explained today on CBS’s Face the Nation.

“They are actually going to take a bunch of debris — some shredded up tires, golf balls and things like that — and under very high pressure shoot it into the preventer itself and see if they can clog it up to stop the leak.”

What luminary genius thought of that?

sortta like the "stopping gully erosion on the old Kentucky homestead" move.

"Let's put the Model A and some old mattresses in there and see if that slows 'er down!" Roll Eyes

I guess with the golf balls it will be like getting a few million hole in ones,I wonder what kind of putter they will use ? And who will be the perfect candidate for putting all those balls into a hole ? Oh sh1t I was going to say Tiger Woods ,but I don't think he does black holes.

A BP insider, providing information to OpEdNEws.com, reports that scientists and engineers, fearing the worst, have envisioned a worst case scenario,

"It could very well be that the entire Gulf and the East coast of Florida could become dead zones, with no aquatic life at all."

BP is not just the oil company with the worst safety record in America. It is also a criminal company, currently on criminal probation, with numerous other offenses as well. Any human with this kind of record would be jailed.
Part of the reason this situation now exists is because BP secured a release from being required to use back-up acoustic coupler shut-off valves from thingy Cheney and the Bush administration, in 2003, when Cheney held secret meetings with energy executives-- the one the Supreme Court protected the secrecy of.

I can't believe there is not more being said about this environmental disaster.

Oil leak is 5 times greater than reported by officials
Source: Pensacola News Journal

The amount of oil gushing from BP's Deepwater Horizon oil disaster is five times more than what the oil company and the U.S. Coast Guard are currently estimating, said a Florida State University oceanography professor on Saturday.

At an oil spill environmental forum at the Hilton Pensacola Beach Gulf Front, Ian MacDonald said the blowout is gushing 25,000 barrels a day.

The Coast Guard and BP estimate 5,000 barrels a day of crude is spewing into the Gulf.

MacDonald said his estimate is based on satellite images and government maps forecasting the slick's trajectory.

I don't think we will ever know how much is actually spilling. It is so far down and they are putting so many dispersing chemicals out.

The dispersants are making it look better than it is, and it LOOKS BAD. The chemicals are sinking the oil so that what we see on the surface could (I don't know) but could be the tip of the iceburg. And do we know what effects those chemicals are going to have on our environment?

And nobody in the media wants to mention the true possibilities of this disaster.

Nothing to worry about folkes, move along, nothing to see here.

Lifter, my Friend -

BP's CEO has already publicly announced the company's intent to pay compensation to all those whose interests had been harmed by the spill. So your statement that they won't/don't want to pay is in error......

The Miami Herald reoprted a meeting between FL Senator Bill Nelson and BP chief Tony Hayward dated May 4th

Bill Nelson -- who is pushing legislation that could put BP on the hook for $10 billion in damages -- said BP's chief "dodged" the question of whether it's going to be liable for economic damages beyond the current $75 million max -- which the company expects to exceed.

"When I pressed him, 'Was he going to be liable for the economic damages, he said it will be something we determine in the future," Nelson said of BP chief Tony Hayward.

Yhis is starting to sound like EXXON all over again.

you guys keep forgetting Halliburton ,they are the guys that built the bloody thing, Halliburton execs including D1ck Cheney, GW Bush,
BP execs should all be hanged until dead, Thats how they do it in China, perhaps we can learn something from them.

WASHINGTON — May 11 2010 Top executives from Haliburton (involved in the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster) will face a barrage of questions on Tuesday from angry senators eager to make it clear they intend to hold someone responsible for a blowout that killed 11 and continues to spew 210,000 gallons of oil each day into the Gulf of Mexico.

Yes, folks, Halliburton is mixed up in this. They are the primary culprit that their flaws in the cementing process caused this disaster.

wait...first it was 5 thousand barrels, then 25 thousand, now its 210 thousand? Since it keeps changing Im willing to bet its actually abou a million barrels a day gushing out. If thats the case its already surpassed the exxon valdez and 3 more months of that before they get a releif well? Id say thats about it for the gulf.

My question is rather simple:

Realizing that no human endeavor will ever be totally accident free (why do most of us wear helemts and a good number wear ATGATT), what is the alternative to deep water drilling for the foreseeable future?

Sure, we should learn from this one and do everything possible to reduce the accident rate, but I presume most of use know that the accident rate in everything we do will never be zero.
