Okay seriously how long has this mess been going on now? The pipe and the oil rig that used to go with it exploded April 20th, 2010.It KILLED 11 and injured 17, a statistic I think a lot of people are forge ting . Think about what those families are going through. Not only did they lose someone in their family or did someone in their family get life altering injuries but they are forever connected to the worst oil disaster, EVER.
Now it is like 5 or 6 days shy of 2 months later. 2 months of the most precious yet most abused natural resource in the world just wasting away. Boycotting BP is not going to help. They are a major oil company and own a good bit of smaller companies under their umbrella. This is getting beyond ridiculous.I understand that they are trying everything that they can to fix this pile of crap mess that turns out to be the worst domestic oil spill EVER , believe me I get it. They are working quickly( ha if quick means the sanils are beating you in a race) and trying their best,( and I think their best is total crap) but the real question is ... Why in the hell did it happen in the first place. I heard earlier this week that this particular rig failed many expectations? SO why the hell didn't they fix it, shut it down do something to rectify the problem? And why the H E double hockey sticks is no one acting like this is the big deal that it is? It is a big bad kill all wild life disaster that is causing so many many many to suffer.Initially BP downplayed the incident; CEO Tony Hayward called the amount of oil and dispersant "relatively tiny" in comparison with the "very big ocean.". Really, Mr. Hayward, really? Are you kidding me?Do you need to go ride the short bus to work from now on? It doesn't matter if it is one ship or a thousand when crude oil is spilt into the ocean at any rate let alone the rate that it is at today, almost every area of life is effected. All those poor animals that are either dead, dying or very sick or just very dirty, all the plant life that has been affected( that Dawn commercial keeps playing in my head). Okay now lets talk about the people affected by this. The gulf coast was affected by another disaster a natural disaster but a disaster none the less 5 years ago, yup I am playing the Katrina card. Businesses just started to fully recover. People knew it was okay to came back and vacation again. People knew that their houses were worth something again. People knew fresh gulf coaster shrimp were slamming and now all that has changed. I know of at least 6 families who have changed their vacation plans , because of this crap. I might have a very different view of this because I live in Alabama. I live 5 hours from the gulf in east central part but here almost everyone I know vacations in Gulf shores, Orange Beach , Destin or the surrounding areas. I know how effected the travel industry is because everyone I know who visits, isn't. BP made a big mess and their efforts to clean it up are crap. So I have an idea. Since nothing they are doing is fixing this mess, lets retire all the execs who sat around on their butts knowing that the workers were very concerned, knowing about all the failed inspections and stuff their over educated, over paid asses into the pipe and I am sure that will stop the flow or maybe they just need to make the biggest tampon ever?
