Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico

<< < (4/9) > >>

aqrinc:
Hi Stacey,

You state it correctly from the perspective of what has happened, and what can happen as a result of the current ongoing problem (crisis?). No doubt those in charge, the rulers of this world physical and spiritual, will find many way to exploit this seeming tragedy for monetary and political gain.

My Prayers, Sympathy and Empathy is with the Families of those missing or Killed in the explosion and aftermath. Other than that though, i will stick with my first answer since GOD Is The Causer of All and HE Does Not Make Mistakes Ever.

Dan 4:1-37 Speaks Today as it does everyday about WHO CAUSES.

The dome thing that had been specially built and was our best hope for a quicker fix to the oil leak pouing oil into the gulf DIDN"T WORK ! ! ! !  Ice crystals formed and did not allow the oil to flow up into the the hose to a barge. We are all kind of in shock down here and now we are back to waiting for them the drill the side wells and plug it up, many weeks for that and they are not sure it will work  ???

Oil spills, Volcanic ash, floods, earth quakes and Proverbs 30 :


Four things are too much for even the earth to bear, yes, four things shake its foundations –

When a janitor becomes the boss,
When a fool gets rich,
When a whore is voted “woman of the year,”
When a “girlfriend” replaces a faithful wife (The Message translation )

Who would have thought after this long they would still be fumbling around trying to get that leak stopped. It has nor reached the MS coasts yet, but it is like a looming monster out there growing larger every day. It is so frustrating to know that all that oil is just pouring out into the Gulf and the long term consequences there will be. Now they are saying that the government's estimate of 5,000 barrels a day may be greatly underestimated, as scientists believe it could be many times larger.

They have dumped more than 400,000 gallons of chemical oil dispersant into the Gulf, with more on the way. This is more of a means to camouflage what it really looks like, as the dispersant doesn't get rid of oil, but sinks it. It is disquieting to note that the material safety data sheet warns: "Do not contaminate surface water" and "Component substances have a potential to bioconcentrate." I wonder if these chemicals won't be a worse long term problem we have to deal. I sure wouldn't want to eat seafood contaminated with the stuff.

Right now they are desperately trying whatever they can, I hope they get it stopped soon. What a nightmare!

Kat, it has been estimated that BP is losing $150,000/day in escaping natural gas, and $1.2 million/day in escaping oil; and with the cost of trying to get a handle on what has spilled out already, I don't think they are fumbling around.
Blowouts at this depth have never been experienced before; I believe if divers could get down there, this would be over and the clean up could start. The leak will get worse. The oil has sand particles and those particles are constantly eroding the pipe.
What a nightmare is right, I too pray they can get it stopped very soon!
