| 26806 | 330 | OIL ON THE BEACH | 86 | BillyBob | Jun 14, 2010 | 2010-06-14T04:16:49-0400 | deepsouth wrote: It appears the the oil that was kept under the surface with dispersant is now moving along the bottom into the bays and estuaries, out of sight just like BP wanted it. Click to expand... I'm no expert, but I always thought that was kinda weird that you would put dispersants into oil gushing 5000 feet below. Wouldn't that just disperse the oil over a much larger area at droplets that are too small to collect??? Newsweek has had some good articles on this issue. It's likely now that the plume below the surface will kill a good portion of sea life in the gulf. It could be a dead zone for decades. Any remaining sea life will be contaminated with oil that was ingested within the food chain. So, BP tally to date: kill majority of sea life in gulf put the gulf fishery out of business tourism will be shot to hell (unless you visit to witness the devastation) the gulf oil industry is on moratorium the oil will likely escape the gulf and contaminate the Atlantic the oil will eventually contaminate Europe hurricane season will drive the oil inland and add decon duties for FEMA surfers will be covered in gunk after each session did we miss anyone? Anyone?? G-string - better refrain from peeing in your wetsuit from now on; we don't know what happens when you add urine with that methane-oil mix...:shock: CoWaBunGA |
