How Gulf Oil Spill Estimates Got It So Wrong
June 23, 2011 — Marine oil spills are usually measured by the amount of oil floating on the surface. But the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico, from a deep-sea well, required a different approach. Find out how one fluid-dynamics expert caused estimates to rise sharply practically overnight. © 2011 National Geographic Funded in part by NSF. Field producing and videography by Fritz Faerber.

A year after a tarsands pipeline ruptured in Michigan, Enbridge is covering up a polluted streambed. Is this the kind of pipeline we want crossing our rivers in Nebraska?

OH! Fucken come on! The shrimpers down in that gulf have been destroying that water for the good part of 60 years. Dredging all kinds of by-catch and killing it all. 10 pounds of shrimp and 200 pounds of by-catch!!!!! Oil drilling never killed 1/1000th of the oceans creatures like commercial fishing. GET FUCKING REAL!
what a fukn waste
@mattBT12are you saying 5 million barrels a day?
are you saying 5 million barrels a day?
Each barrel goes for around $100 a barrel as of this time last year, saying that the price increased, that means it is over $500,000,000, yes, half of one billion, in oil had spilled out into the gulf. Talk about pay cuts.
i’ll be terminally ill soon orend up floating around face down in my ten by ten hot tub
watch it don’t say to much even youtube is the gov.s bitch our post will be no longersoon just check back
All a freaking conspiracy… Alot of the high ranks in the company (BP) sold their stocks just days before and a bunch of other bull crap.
Do you ever drive a car? Take a bus? Ride in an airplane? If so, that STHU! Your part of the problem too!!! Blame it on yourself too. Accidents happen and people are not perfect. Never have been and never will be. Everyone is all disgusted?? Be disgusted with yourself then. If you want to help. Drive an electric car, that gets it power from wind turbines.
@ppcg25102 its not galon, its barrel.. anyway screw e dude who wants highest rating..
@madisonelectronic You like to hear yourself talk, doncha? Well, no one else does. When you wonder why you’re so lonely, bear that in mind.
@pandarsson You can also stop using the computer, turn off your tv and radio. Buy a corn stove. Suck Al Gores’ dick. (while he makes millions off his scams) If you ride a bike or tricycle make sure to put wooden wheels on it. Oh, and no more rubbers when you shitpoke your boyfriend.
@madisonelectronic Kiss my ass, lick my balls and shut the fuck up.
Furthermore, stop breathing oxygen that would be better used in the lungs of people more worthy of it.
Geez, give some punk anonymity and a keyboard and they completely lose the fear of people finding out that they’re an idiot.
Was anyone ever held accountable for this?
why would a scientist need to testify to hilly billies from congress?
Man if it was successful they would have been rich and gas prices would be down and just if only it worked… But what about air pollution?
Did anybody else think the pic of the video looked like the bottom half of Homer Simpson’s face?
i always wondered why gas prices were so high even prior to the oil spill
1k barrels per day is the initial govt. ‘estimate’, intended to soothe the public.
Then stupid science comes along and has to prove it’s 62k barrels per day.
How can we continue to let oil companies ruin our planet, while people are able to see the 62k number?
Industrial/commercian-terrorism is the stuff of modern day heroes.
@devilmagic lol
@Serruntiss shut the fuck up you tree hugging hippie its all there fault
You cant blame BP blame the car you drive to work everyday.. we all have a part in destroying our world, so stop pointing fingers.
people burn 85 million barrels a day so who is wrong
ENBRIDGE IS NOW DIGGING THIS BURIED OIL BACK OUT, 2 MILES LONG 4 FT DEEP 30 FOOT WIDE. 100% PROOF

@jbjohnson914 Im guessing your one of those that ‘UNTIL IT AFFECTS ME“ its not a problem type!
@jbjohnson914 they didnt do their BEST to clean that shit up! They found the cheapest way out of cleaning it up! If you had a comapany, and it caused deaths (and you were NOT a big oil company) you would be held responsible for those deaths and your company would most likely be shut down. This doesnt happen to the oil comapanies! They do what they friggen want to! I dont know too many michiganders that dont go fishing and consume the fish! a lot hunt too and animals drink that water too!
@jbjohnson914 thank you someone see’s ,,, he was very stupid for doing this
You got fired! You didn’t complain while you were making money.Why would you stir up the sediment they are trying to contain? You do realize that you are standing on Enbridge Property & can be arrested? It was an accident! When the contractors, who are innocent of any wrong doing ,get threatened are you going to pay their bills? Did you get unemployment? My taxes pay for that & Enbridge. At least they are doing their best. You’re not part of any solution. Shame on you!!!
go to john bolenbaugh on you tube to see more evidence
Thanks for sharing this.
Plainly, simply, kill them. 1) They’re killing people. 2) The „authorities“ are doing nothing about it. 3) You have the right of self defense. Simple, isn’t it? And the authorities don’t have the right to call it vigilantism because if they aren’t doing their job it’s self defense. There. I’ve said it. And I dare anyone to accuse me of inciting violence. What that oil company did directly endangers lives, and if allowed to go on, they’ll do it more. Time a lesson was learned.
AND WHO will be operating the Keystone XL for Trans Canada …. ENBRIDGE…
SHARED AND TWEETED….
