Here we are still spewing oil into the ocean over a month later. Last week this "top kill" procedure was supposed to take place by Sunday. . . Then on Saturday it was Monday. . . now they are saying Wednesday. .

Soon it will be August and the relief wells will be completed. . .  :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

  Do you think that new well will have more the one Safety Valves?  Oh no, they couldn't be that stupid again, could they?

And now BP is saying they are going to discontinue the live feed of the oil spill during their "top-kill" procedure. . .

Why?

I would imagine it would not be anything to see, because of the disruption of oil, mud and debris.....they may need to move all camera's away from there to keep them from being destroyed....or they may have some sort of evil, secret money making reason that they don't want the liberals to see....

For the same reasons they had to be pressured to provide access to it in the first place!

they have had it on there for a few days now....not much to really see.....and I don't think BP can get much more 'bad press' than they have had for the last four weeks....

I see no reason for shutting out big brother; BP certainly has done nothing to instill trust and confidence in them doing the right thing. . .

The stream is blacker now, instead of brown. That means almost no natural gas is being emitted; therefore, all oil  -- ergo, the volume of oil release is larger, and the impact on  the environment.............

  It means that crude oil is black and when it is mixed with salt water it turns brown.

  When this gusher started it was half natural gas.  Now there was hardly any gas in it, therefore the volume of the material comng out of the pipe now, is almost 100% crude oil.  Very nasty stuff.
