    as of a few minutes ago they were still trying to cap it, with the containment lid they have been lowering in the ocean the last couple days.. anyways ITs the LARGEST SPILL recorded as of today.. the Valdez was the largest lol!!

    hate to say it when you take short cuts in this business shit like this happens.. major cause of the whole dang situation.. only if BP would have listened this would have never happened

    wtf does this mean?! it wasent even BP's bop, yes there ceo is fail but the cap IS on there are just alot of valves on it, if there were not it would all just freeze up, they have to slowly close the valves and even then there still might be problems. so yes as of right now oil is still flowing into the ocean

    it means BP is greedy, google it you'll find out. i recall reading somewhere about outdated seals and such, BP gave the go ahead to short cut it and pump the concrete in, thus causing a reaction which sent a methane burp up the drill stem, the concrete chemicals and the methane gas doesnt mix which then erupted all other seals.. yeah true theres alot of debate what really happened we'll probably never know, BUT thats one company i am glad i turned down there job offer just before they killed 30+ people from the explosion they had a couple years ago..

    just glad i chose to go to work for SHELL OIL.. not saying its any better but there safety history speaks for itself.
