Some of the comments from clean-up workers are heart wrenching as they were written while they were dying from the chemical dispersant effects. This is what all the Gulf fishermen who have been conned into clean-up can expect. Even worse, this is what all those who live along the Gulf coast can expect... and I'm one of them.

This can't be a good idea!!!...WTF are they doing??? GRAND ISLE, La. — BP said Thursday that it plans to boost its ability to directly capture hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil gushing from a well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico by early next week. Kent Wells, BP's senior vice president of exploration and production, said a semi-submersible drilling rig would capture and burn about 420,000 gallons of oil daily. Once on board, the oil and gas collected from the well would be sent down a boom and burned at sea. A drill ship already at the scene can process a maximum of 756,000 gallons of oil daily that's sucked up through a containment cap sitting on the well head |
