Amateur Video Of Gulf Oil Slick - Worse Than BP Admits, page 1

While I posted this video here, it is so compelling, I thought it needed its own thread.

These are very disturbing images...

Amateur Video Of Gulf Oil Slick - Worse Than BP Admits

Video is from Alabama resident John Wathen as a volunteer pilot flew him over the area where the oil rig sank. Officials have stopped guessing at the amount of oil leaking although some speculate it may be closer to 1 million gallons per day.

Don't let BP spin this into something trivial.

That's where the original video is from I believe.

Here is another made several days earlier:

Oh gawd..."The gulf is bleeding", the narrator of the video said.

F--- BP...here's an interesting tidbit from this article

The Common Loon cafe is still serving oysters caught each morning locally, but they aren't serving them to the hundreds of BP contract laborers who are on the island for oil spill preparation.

That's one of the complaints that local business people have with BP. With beach rentals down tremendously, BP isn't housing its crews here either.

"I don’t know what kind of backward thinking that is," said resident Patrick Hemphill. "Seems like it would be an easy solution."

Yes it is much worse than the media lets on. They keep calling it a "spill" and say the well is "leaking". When in actuality it's spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean EVERY....SINGLE...DAY.

Imagine what would happen if you were to dump a quart of oil into your swimming pool. Imagine if you dumped all of the dirty oil you changed out of your car's engine into that same pool. I still don't think this even comes close to what is going on in the Gulf right now.

As you read this another 150 gallons of oil or so just spewed out into the Gulf based on the VERY conservative estimate of 250,000 gallons a day "leaking" into the ocean.

The video is truly disturbing. I found a group of pictures today, there are over 500, of some seriously unbelievable images. Here's a couple

Here's the rest;

I highly recommend people take a look through these pics.

This oil spill is being GREATLY underplayed, and will affect the Southern US, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands, and it probably won't stop there. We are in for a wild ride.

This is the worst disaster to hit the gulf ever probably. But why do you
say to call in the Navy? Do you think they have some magic wand that
they can wave over this mess? Why do you think they can come to the
rescue? What expertise would they have over an oilwell disaster?

Let the oil experts get it figured out. They probably will ruin the gulf
before it's over, but the Navy? Give me a break.
