New Zealand races to contain oil spill
New Zealand is facing its worst environmental disaster in decades after a container ship stranded off the North Island started leaking oil off Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty region. The government has been trying to disperse the spill by spraying chemicals on it while other crews raced to remove the remaining oil from the vessel. However, many people are angry at the authorities’ slow response. Some believe that the this crisis could have been prevented. Al Jazeera’s Jamal Elshayyal reports.

Seafarers must have one international standard licensure examination and don’t just live that responsiblity to their flag states… because it’s your states the pays for the damages…
this is not accident this is total careless and negligence!
Check The Captain’s Licensing Authorithy (Liberia and Philippines) Check their examation system. Does it really test the competence of the Captain or just let him pass by chance?
poor new zealand

Steven Joyce is a fucking dickhead. NZ has too many assclowns like him who cause more problems than they solve
There is no ‘racing’ happening here. Like the Gulf Oil spill in the East Pacific and Exxon Mobil Oil spill in the north Pacific, the oil spill in the South Pacific was an „accident“. I wonder whether the nuclear contamination of the West Pacific ocean was an accident too.
let’s change to renewables
F the Oil. Time to think of alternative fuels like Water, solar energy, and a safer way to contain uranium.
At least it didn’t happen to Christchurch…
Environmental agency Greenpeace denounced the spill and what it claims is a slow response.

Corexit 9500, four times more toxic than crude oil, is one of the most poisonous dispersants ever developed, and is up to 20 times more toxic than other dispersants, and only half as effective. When Corexit 9500, with its 2.61 ppm toxicity level, is combined with the warm waters of the Gulf much of it will transition into a gaseous state that will be absorbed into clouds, to be released as toxic rain!
LOOK one YOU TUB TYPE ( REBEACHER ) WOW GOOD
This wouldn’t have happened if Washington didn’t put all these regulations on oil companies forcing them to drill offshore.

This is a Solution for oil spills on beaches
This is all a shame
More BP BS They will pay off a politician and find a loop hole to save their money.
…and for once in a long ass time, you can’t blame America for the disaster.
this video came much in handy i am a seventh grader and we had to do a poster and presentaion on A HEI and me and my partner picked the bp oil spill and i am getting some last minute info so i dont hav to read stuff
You’d think the Americans would appreciate a shitload of free oil right off their coast.
But strangely, no, they don’t.
Why dont they just take the oil spill, and push it somewhere else
he should have done this documentary naked… just sayin
HAIKU

Hmm Bp need stornger pipes
Nope, merely a scientific mind which is being shunned by diligent ignorance from the likes of people I would refer to as less than chums.
@davidconjefferson soooo….im pretty sure ur a homosexual
@steal310 Hahaha.
Anyone stupid enough to try that would get blown out of the water by a Type 45 destroyer …
bring it.
FUCK BP, BOYCOTT FOREVER
oh, and no BP didn’t compensate people, that jackass in the red-shirt is obviously being paid alot to tell false info to ignorant people
i’m not even worried about the oil anymore, i’m more worried about all of the chemicals the put in the water to eat the oil, it is far more dangerous to both humans, animals, and eco-system then the oil actually is
many people are ignorant to the fact that oil drilling causes constant oil leaks. it is not possible to drill for oil without causing pollution to the oceans. the more i have learned about crude oil and the sea creatures it kills the more sickened it makes me. alot of shell fish and crabs get harmed by oil drills
i think oil should be illegal
