How many barrels of oil are gone by this moment approximately?

[Jg2001_Rasputin]

The oil rig sunk 43 days ago.

 

43x5.000 barrels = 215.000 barrels = 34.182.850 liters

How many barrels of oil are gone by this moment approximately?

 

Approximately 5000 barrels a day...........April 20 - Present: 45 days

 

225 000 Barrels.

 

 

Sniped :D

This is going to take the world to clean up . The smell is permeating the air here in Southern California it's smells very bad.. The wind is out of the east south east, bringing it up here.

I think we should just put a 15,000 pound bomb into the well and set it off.

1oz. is to much. We should have a 0 tolerance for such potential disasters like this. If we don't put safety first in what we do, well the result I will leave up to your imagination.:cry:

I Think that alot of people are missing the point of who the actual blame lies with, BP HIRED a drilling rig, which was controlled by the Hired peoples company ( an american company ), an accident happened because of faulty equipment on said rig, yet because BP hired them, they are somehow blamed ?

 

If you hire a car and the car is faulty and causes you to crash, are you at fault or the company that you hired said car from ?

 

Ok, dont get me wrong, BP should be doing EVERYTHING it can do to clean this shit up and as quickly as possible, but personally I think because BP is british and the Rig owners are American, then BP automatically gets the majority of the blame, even though the rig wasnt theirs and the faulty equipment wasnt theirs and the men operating the rig wasnt theirs either, yet they are the ones being raped by the american media and gov.

 

I hope that it gets fixed and fixed asap, but I would like to see the blaming of BP in the media and everywhere else stopped, because with everything that has been released about the accident, it was Deepwater Horizon's fault for hiring out faulty equipment to another company and using deepwaters men to run it, but they somehow blame BP because they hired said faulty rig, I wonder if DWH told BP the rig was faulty before they hired it if BP would of still hired the thing ? Probably not.

 

Anyway, here's hoping that the cap works today.

Who ever does the hiring is in the end the one responsible. Period. To be honest with you, I think both are equally responsible. To put it more in perspective for you , if you hire a contractor to build you a house, nine chance out of ten, he will hire a sub-contractor to do some or all of the work. Who is responsible for any defects in the home. Contractor, who in turn will look at his sub-contractor or both may be held accountable. Same situation.

 

Now the main point. IMHO, equipment used or designed should be done so, taking safety into account in its design. We over all do not do that.(cheaper). We tend to fix things after the fact and this is what is wrong. Can we change this, well anything is possible I suppose. To make my statement clear, I worked in the Air Traffic Control side of the Department of Transport. When air regulations were changing to keep up with technology and modern air craft., all thought were put to air safety for both the public and aircraft industry. Every possible situation was thought through and the new air regulation was written many times before a final regulation was implemented. Was it perfect(probably not)99.9999% yes.

 

If we looked at all things we do in this manner(industry that is), then maybe accidents like this would probably not happen. Can this happen at anytime to any other oil rig, You bet it can. Are changes being made to make sure this does not happen in the future, probably not. This is the sad part.:cry:

 

P.S. It will be amazing if the Americans don't sue BP by the way. I can certainly point out why.

WOW.

[diveplane]

i think the leak is under the earths crust, and possibly to deep to get to, BP are lieing about the leaks i think, its to late i think, mother earth is bleeding from her inner core.

she may heal on her own. but the mess this is causing is a possible global affect shortly.

[diveplane]

dont know if some one already posted this

 

wow this oil slick is massive

 

[71st_Mastiff]

BP killed Aqua man. This oil disaster is bigger than the 3 states put together?

 

Oh and by the way same shit diffrent decades...

Ouch...do they ever learn? geesh

[sobek]

I'm sure they know better, but cost-minimisation dictates otherwise.

a nightmare

 

 

on the french news they were talking of about 2 000 000 L a day , images of sticky pelicans cormorants . BP probably hired sub-contractors but they took most of the money so they are the main responsible

[rattler]

Got to wonder. Here we are paying high prices for oil(North America). I know the whole world is but I am just taking this part. Two oil rigs that the U.S. own and are not pumping oil. How Come. Leasing them out to other Countries. I guess this is how you keep the price of oil high. Don't pump while demand is high = big $$$$$$. From Consumer. I think it's about time a much closer look be taken at Companies that manipulate their products, just so they can make totally unreal profits. I know profit is the name of the game but I think we the people and our Governments allow Companies to gain too high a profit margin, when the world suffers from the effects so a few can get richer. There should be a balance for both. We all need to have a reasonable standard of living. In this day and age there should be no poverty, people going hungry,reliable pure water and the list goes on. At this time in history when were gone and someone looks back. I can just imagine what will be said of the state we made this world into. Greed.

There is no doubt, They are the main people responsible for all of this. No one else is to blame. They have the sole responsibility for anything that happens, even if it is a sub-contractors fault. BP is responsible to keep an eye on the sub-contract and make sure all rules and regulations are followed. You may have your own opinions but this is how it is. Yes it is terrible, all the wildlife etc. but yet we still allow it to continue. In other words, for the remainder of the other oil rigs producing oil, the same thing can happen as we speak. We have no control over these Companies and they know it.

definitly agreed . i just purchased a book that i'm waiting to receive . it's the memories of an Amazon indian chief whom tribe lives in harmony for ages with nature and the way of living is threatened by a dam project which threatens to submerge it all .

I know , it's damn disgusting. I sure hope sooner rather than later the public demands change and settle for nothing less.

 

Hell we only got the Rain Forest left. If that goes we are all in big trouble. Would like to say what's on my mind but I think you understand.Cheers:thumbup:
