The GLP Gulf Disaster Eyewitness Documentation Thread / Image & Video Archive: Coastal GPL'rs Wanted. PG 1 Update 7/09/2010

hey bro

I am starting to agree

how could anything this bad for so long just happen

how could this many people be this stupid

Planned yep

war next -- chapter 2

Ice, are y'all all right so far?

I'm about to post a thread that proves that Obama had the authority from Day 1 to take control of this situation...

Planned without a doubt.

notice we cant text the word OIL or any of that BS.

Here's a link to some new photos:

I'll post a couple of them as soon as they are approved by a mod.

. .

I can't look. It's too much.

I know, Texus U. But we need to be strong. This needs to be recorded for posterity.

I know.

That's it.

We can not rely on the MSM for the Truth of what's happening to us.

Here it is:

I just do not have the words to express the devestation I feel regarding this EPIC diaster...... watching peoples lives fall apart and all the beautiful sealife
being horrible and painfully destroyed.

Thank You Scrupm's !!! for keeping a true testimony of this god forsaken man made diaster. I am following this thread and it makes me cry.

PS: Great Job.... on the Pastor Manning interview.

Me either... we've NEVER faced something like this.

Thanks for the kind words SCULLY... I just hope that we emerge from this (monumentally) unscathed... but I don't think that's what's gonna happen.

my daughter is watching my dog and I talked to her this morning

all off the coast are fine

I will be in Louisiana on Sat

If on the Coast Bro... document & post, please

For posterity:

I remember the Exxon Valdez and it was a HUGE story.

Now everyone is like "Oh hum". No one gives a shit.

There are some ugly pics at that link, A7.. I updated the 1st page w/ these (thanks!).. we're about to see a LOT more of that, IMO.

The huge plumes that are still at sea are still to come ashore.. who knows what happens then..

I'm Praying for all of you guys that are near the coast.. when the greater mass of this toxic mess finally makes landfall.. idk how anyone will be able to remain in the area.. except for clean-up crews (except they've already said that the oil would most likely be left in the marshes w/ no clean-up attempted)..


I know that WEEKS ago tests at the Louisiana coastline showed:


Air tests from the Louisiana coast reveal human health threats from the oil disaster

May 10, 2010


The media coverage of the BP oil disaster to date has focused largely on the threats to wildlife, but the latest evaluation of air monitoring data shows a serious threat to human health from airborne chemicals emitted by the ongoing deepwater gusher.

Today the Louisiana Environmental Action Network released its analysis of air monitoring test results by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The EPA's air testing data comes from Venice, a coastal community 75 miles south of New Orleans in Louisiana's Plaquemines Parish.

The findings show that levels of airborne chemicals have far exceeded state standards and what's considered safe for human exposure.

For instance, hydrogen sulfide has been detected at concentrations more than 100 times greater than the level known to cause physical reactions in people. Among the health effects of hydrogen sulfide exposure are eye and respiratory irritation as well as nausea, dizziness, confusion and headache.

The concentration threshold for people to experience physical symptoms from hydrogen sulfide is about 5 to 10 parts per billion. But as recently as last Thursday, the EPA measured levels at 1,000 ppb. The highest levels of airborne hydrogen sulfide measured so far were on May 3, at 1,192 ppb.

Testing data also shows levels of volatile organic chemicals that far exceed Louisiana's own ambient air standards. VOCs cause acute physical health symptoms including eye, skin and respiratory irritation as well as headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea and confusion.

Louisiana's ambient air standard for the VOC benzene, for example, is 3.76 ppb, while its standard for methylene chloride is 61.25 ppb. Long-term exposure to airborne benzene has been linked to cancer, while the EPA considers methylene chloride a probable carcinogen.

Air testing results show VOC concentrations far above these state standards. On May 6, for example, the EPA measured VOCs at levels of 483 ppb. The highest levels detected to date were on April 30, at 3,084 ppb, following by May 2, at 3,416 ppb.

Here's a chart based on the data from LEAN's analysis, which was done by award-winning analytical chemist Wilma Subra: (chart at link)

So if it was that bad then, before the oil even made landfall (May 19).. what's it gonna be like weeks from now when it's all in the open air???


Thanks for telling your friends on Mobile Bay about the thread, btw.. I hope that they never have anything of any significance to post.. but I don't think that's the likely outcome.. this is from yesterday:

New MASSIVE Oil Plume Discovered Heading For Mobile Bay: 22 Miles Long, 6 Miles Wide, 3,000 Feet Thick

EPA Releases Data From BP's Testing Of Subsurface Dispersant Use Showing Significant Toxicity

Data from testing done by BP and released to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of BP's use of subsurface dispersant on oil spilling from its well 5,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico showed areas of significant toxicity within the water column.

Photo (at link) taken by a fisherman of a fish kill in Bay Eloi on May 18, 2010 thought to be caused by BP's oil spill

Water samples were taken at various locations and depths around the site of the leaking well as subsurface dispersants were being applied. Those samples underwent various tests including a toxicity bioassay which involves exposing rotifers, microscopic aquatic animals, to the sampled water and counting the number that are killed.

Thick oil pools in the waters along Louisiana's coast and floats into the marsh. Governor Bobby Jindal toured oil impacted marshlands by boat on May 19, 2010, in Pass a Loutre Wildlife Management Area. Oil In Pass a Loutre WMA

(photos at link)

The BP data showed that at location "B20" 25% of the rotifers were killed by the water sample that was taken at 500 feet below the surface of the Gulf.

It is unknown if the toxicity found is from the dispersant, the oil or the combination of the two. However, there was obviously something at that level that caused the death of 25% of the organisms.

Also at location "B20" the sample taken at 1300 feet listed the percentage of rotifer survival as "80 (93.8)." If 80% is the valid number then this indicates the presence of something at that level that caused the death of 20% of the organisms.

The EPA made this testing data available on its website today May 20, 2010 within hours of receiving it from BP.

Today the EPA also released a directive requiring BP to use a less toxic dispersant.

The directive requires BP to identify a less toxic alternative - to be used both on the surface and under the water at the source of the oil leak - within 24 hours and to begin using the less toxic dispersant within 72 hours of submitting the alternative.

If BP is unable to identify available alternative dispersant products, BP must provide the Coast Guard and EPA with a detailed description of the alternative dispersants investigated, and the reason they believe those products did not meet the required standards.

To date approximately 655,000 gallons of total dispersant have been deployed-600,000 on the surface and 55,000 subsea.

We applaud the EPA for releasing this data to the public and for requiring the use of less toxic dispersants. However, we continue to be concerned about the control that BP has over the the response to this disaster. We also have concerns about the availability of raw sample data.

"It should have been the EPA deciding if, what kind and how dispersants would be used in the first place and they certainly should be able to tell BP which dispersant to use now," said Paul Orr, Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper.

We ask that the raw data from all testing of the air, water, sediments and animal tissues be made publicly available in a timely manner.

Orr went on to say, "It is vital that the data from all the sampling be made available so that a robust examination and discussion of that data can take place in order to make the best decisions for the protection of the environment and human health."

BP Chooses Not To Change Dispersants Despite EPA Directive

In a letter dated May 20, 2010 BP responded to an EPA directive requiring BP to use a less toxic dispersant by defending its use of COREXIT products as the best option available.

Based on the information that is available today, BP continues to believe that COREXIT was the best and most appropriate choice at the time when the incident occurred and that COREXIT remains the best option for subsea application.

I am beyond appalled at the criminal negligence that brought this disaster into our world.

TEOTWAWKI ... Certainly for everyone living in the gulf coast area, and possibly for North America, at the very least. Perhaps the entire planet.

... and for the whole world.

.

. .

I'm glad you thought to do that, Scrump. That's where these belong ... Page One.



.

US President Barack Obama is in the southern state of Louisiana where he is assessing oil company BP's efforts to stop the largest oil spill in US history.

I'm bringing this over from another thread.

As much as I loathe Rachel Maddow, this report kept me glued to my computer screen.

If you haven't watched it, please do so.

If it hasn't been shared..

Models of where the oil is and where its going.

Say hello oil goodbye Florida and Gulfstream.

That vid just astounds me...there's truly nothing new under the sun.

This is one that I'm having a hard time figuring out... I can't see an oil/no-oil delineation... if the oil's the Grey area (can't be... it's already engulfed Florida, if so.. I think it's a reflection).. what's the identical Gray area sw of Texas?

Here's the close-up of the affected area:

. .

Another company had this exact same problem -- 30 years ago! -- in the gulf!

One difference ... it was only 200 feet deep. ... And it took nearly a year to get the oil stopped from spewing.

And (and here's the kicker) ... they are using pretty much the same methods to try to stop this one as they did thirty years ago in the other one. ... Methods that didn't work then ... and are they working now?


Their "new technology" = Technology on how to drill deeper wells, not how to stop blowouts.
