GLP Survey Results: Approximately 75% Say Doom For At Least The Gulf And Possibly Beyond | |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 910135Optimism has nothing to do with it. Anyone who is optimistic about this is living in denial. Are you not hopeful that the relief well will stop this flow? You don't wish for the flow to stop? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1003086LOL you believe the TV? Ixtoc I oil spill In the next nine months, experts and divers including Red Adair were brought in to contain and cap the oil well.[7] An average of approximately ten thousand to thirty thousand barrels per day were discharged into the Gulf until it was finally capped on 23 March 1980, nearly 10 months later.

[link to en.wikipedia.org] Yes, it was similar in terms of how long it took to bore the relief wells. Like another poster earlier pointed out though, this time the amount in gallons of oil is far greater than what happened in 1979. ------ |

So much beyond the scope of experience/ expectations and so preparations. 'Unprecedented'. Full of surprises- all nasty. |

The dispersant keeps the oil at depth and creates small droplets rather than long chains. The bulk will be spread via the Gulf current to the worlds oceans. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 469548 United States 06/18/2010 03:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are people missing the big picture. The world's oceans will be doomed. It is not what you see no the surface, or some images of people who think they look good, you would not agree with, it is what is underneath, and in the ocean there is more underneath than what is on the surface. Crap from demons is crap (from personal experience). |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 995825 United States 06/18/2010 04:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think they will stop the leak efficiently. but i don't think the gulf will completely die. but it won't recover fast enough to save the jobs and industry lost. It WILL be bad in other terms like the economy of the gulf coast entering into a hard depression, imo. this spill is bad enough even without all the huge ELE doom. do not underestimate how bad the economy is right now. the oil spill does not help at all. |
B-Flat User ID: 998578 United States 06/18/2010 04:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here are some quotes: " More than 20 years after the Exxon Valdez foundered off the coast of Alaska, sea otters stil dig up oil in their hunt for clams in Prince William Sound. Nearly 25 years after an oil storage tank ruptured near mangrove swamps and coral reefs of Bahia Las Minas in Panama, oil slicks still form in the water. And some 40 years after the fuel-oil barge Florida ran aground off Cape Cod, the muck beneath the marsh grasses makes the area smell like a gas station". "The toxic compounds in the oil vary, but the most worrisome are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbns (PAHs) such as napthalenes, benzene, toluene, and xylenes. All can sicken humans, animals and plants." " In the bodies of organisms such as manmals or birds these aroumatic hydrocarbons can be transformeed into even more toxic products, which can affect DNA. The mutations that might result could lead to reduced fertility, cancer and other probems." "Once , the oil, because of high tides or high winds, gets into the coastal wetland, it gets trapped in the sediment" "then for decades you continue to see oil coming back out." "particularly critical are marshes, which are nurseries for wildlife ranging from fish to birds; contamination here could damage emryos and affect a species for generations." Not to mention what it's doing to all the men and women - pregnant or otherwise, and children who live there. Last Edited by B-Flat on 06/18/2010 04:27 PM |

maggie User ID: 719435 United States 06/18/2010 04:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wish people would stop calling this a "spill." A spill is more like what happens to a glass of milk. Quoting: germanbiniUnfortunately I think this thing will keep gushing until it runs out of oil, or the sea bed collapses and shuts it down, whichever comes first. Either way that area and a lot of area near it are probably going to be uninhabitable for probably hundreds of years. After man is gone/depleted, I have faith in Mother Nature to heal herself eventually. I totally agree with your assessment and prediction. I am sooo tired of the word "spill" and cannot understand why people keep repeating it. It so totally minimizes this seriously gigantic out of control gusher situation and the danger associated with it. Thanks. |
