IS BP HIDING THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING SPILLED, WITH DISPERSANTS????? | |
| blog.alexanderhiggins.com User ID: 964512  United States05/11/2010 03:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Come on guys no theories or opinions on this??? Quoting: SwampRatLost 960462I have an opinion on this and have posted it on blog. But no one has commented. Actually, I say it is proof BP is hiding the amount of oil being spilled. BP and Big brother can say that only 5,000 barrels per day or 210,000 gallons is leaking. But if you do the math that means the well is only letting out about 2.3 gallons every second. We have three leaks down, so if we believe the numbers the government is reporting that means about 3/4 of gallon from each leak per second. Now watch this YouTube video of the a sub trying to repair one of the leaks. You need to go to about 2:00 into the video [link to blog.alexanderhiggins.com] You mean to tell be that is only 3/4 of a gallon of oil shooting out of that thing each second. Be real. Maybe the emperor was wearing cloths after all...  |
| blog.alexanderhiggins.com User ID: 964512 United States05/11/2010 03:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Two of four modified C-130s have deployed to the Gulf of Mexico from the 757th Airlift Squadron at Youngstown ARS, Ohio. They typically spray pesticides or fire retardant using the Modular Aerial Spray System (MASS), although other Air National Guard units have the Modular Aerial Fire Fighting System (MAFFS). A newer MAFFS 2 version can dispense 30,000 pounds of retardant in just 3 to 5 seconds from one nozzle at almost 14,000 pounds of thrust. Last year, PopSci took a tour of a firefighting 747 that uses similar technology. Quoting: SwampRatLost 960462This would explain why all of the oil on the surface keeps disappearing. They simply spray that with that kind of pressure and viola, its no longer on the surface. |
| blog.alexanderhiggins.com User ID: 964512 United States05/11/2010 03:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sea turtles killed with no evidence of oil on body. Likely killed by "dispersed" oil. Quoting: sea turtle 960838I love how the when the turtles where first found it was because of the oil spill. Then the mainstream media switched the story to they could not confirm the reason of death and it is natural for dead sea turtles to wash up on the beach at this time of year. Last I heard the turtles where being autopsied for cause of death and no news since. Kind of like day after day after day the media reports that oil has finally hit land for the first time. |

The amount of oil coming from the well can only be calculated accurately if we know the pressure ,viscosity and purity of the oil and the size of the opening the oil is coming from. We dont know any of this.. I have already told as many as will listen that this well is venting mainly gas because it wasnt drilled deep enough into the oil pocket. And yes, I am qualified to make that statement. The video doesnt work, but I saw it before. The majority of what youre seeing escaping from the well is liquid methane |

Quoting: Prisoner of Technology Unfortunately, yes. Government assessment guidelines for effects of a spill only takes into account oil on the surface. Once oil has been dispersed guidelines say it is does not "impact" the environment which is BS. So if it is a tarball, a few feet from the surface or becomes a sediment on the sea floor it doesn't count as being part of the slick that can damage the environment, by government guidelines that is. In fact NOAA was telling people that fish caught in the gulf was OK to eat on Daulphin Island, even as tarballs where washing ashore. [link to blog.alexanderhiggins.com] |

Oil itself cannot be absorbed into the tissues. It's not soluable in water , meaning it is relatively none toxic and mainly a fouling problem |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 966900 United States05/11/2010 03:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I fish in a lake that has a sheen of crude on it continously, and the fish dont taste like oil. They simply cannot absorb it into thier tissues. There are petroleum compounds in oil when it comes out of the ground that are moderately toxic, but they are volatile |

The majority of what youre seeing escaping from the well is liquid methane You can make that argument, but independent oceanographer's like skytruth tell us the amount is 1.1 million gallons (26,500 barrels) per day. If you recall SkyTruth orginally challenge the BS estimate of 1,000 barrels a day which made NOAA update their estimates to 5,000. Even the coast guards original estimate was 8,000 barrels a day. Then I guess they where told to say NO oil was leaking which they did the next day. [link to blog.skytruth.org] |

Crude oil contains mercury and lead, both of which can be dangerous if inhaled or swallowed. These are not volatile. While 35% of the substance in oil is volatile, that portion evaporates usually within the first 24 hours. What remains is still a TOXIC mess. Why do you think that Alaska still hasn't fully recovered over 20 years later. [link to www.businessweek.com] |
brandon0688  User ID: 967096 United States05/11/2010 04:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It pisses me off severely and I'm new here.

| blog.alexanderhiggins.com User ID: 964512 United States05/11/2010 04:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From BP's prepared testimony for the Senate hearing tomorrow: Thirty-seven aircraft, both fixed-wing and helicopters, are now supporting the response effort. Over 444,000 gallons of dispersant have been applied on the surface and more than 180,000 gallons are available. Typically, about 2,100 gallons of dispersant is needed to treat 1,000 barrels of oil. Now let's do some math 444,000\2100=209 *100 = 209,000 barrels of oil 209,000=8,778,000 If only 5,000 barrels per day where leaking for 21 days then 105,000 barrels have leaked to date. Why then has enough dispersant for twice that amount been used and we still have a huge amount of oil floating in the gulf? How much? Compare your city here. Full size is much better :) [link to blog.alexanderhiggins.com] |
| blog.alexanderhiggins.com User ID: 964512 United States05/11/2010 06:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Halliburton's prepared testimony for today's Senate hearing [link to blog.alexanderhiggins.com] All three prepared testimonies are there, but what I take from Halliburton's testimony is: 1) Their cement job was may not have been up to par because it mixed with methane hydrates, but even in the weakened state it still met federal guidelines so they should not be responsible. 2) The design of the well itself should have not been approved, but since the government approved it they assumed it would hold and did the job anyway. It seems as if they are implying that their cement did not hold but it is not their fault because the cement job was done according to design which was approved by the federal government. On the other hand, Transocean says that it is absurd that there has been so much media attention on the blow out preventer, because it did not cause the problem and the project was at the point where it should have been getting removed any way. They also admit that the failure was either due to their pipe work (casing) or the cement job or a combination of both. Any other interpretations? |

I researched and wrote this thread at the first of May. Me, a lil ole backwoods redneck from SE Louisiana. WHY HAS IT TAKEN TWO MONTHS for someone to finally take this topic seriously??? After how many gallons of this crap!!!!! After how many barrels of oil sunk to the bottom of the gulf???? I don't understand it. This will eventually kill everything in the Gulf. Do they even care?
