BP oil spill. Where's the oil gone?

[tybo]

It's still there.

Much of it is still there but below the surface. The dispersants have caused it to suspend midwater. However, nature is doing her work at cleaning it up as well. So far, seafood is testing safe. There are some long term issues and maybe a few yet to be discovered but overall, things are going well.

The BOP will be lifted under an evidence chain for further investigation. It is likely that Transoecean, etc. will have to answer for their part of the event if it is shown they were negligent.

How can that be?

The locals have a $3Billion pot of gold to claim off!

I was in USA last week and read that since the disaster, the Louisiana Fisheries board have issued 2000 NEW fishing licences, at $2k a pop! This then allows these "new fishermen" to claim from the BP fund!

I'm sure there are people cashing in on it, but i'm sure the people who rely on making their living from it, would rather be doing so.

They're not going to have their losses met forever are they?

But, more to the point: in the video above, the water is clearly contaminated. What's the idea behind letting people swim in it?

A small handful of locals that are either nuts or would prefer to keep collecting a BP check. The vast majority, the ones the media does not choose to interview, will say differently. No seafood has tested positive for hydrocarbons except the oysters.....and they will clean themselves through a cycle.

Either of the those two options are irrelevent when they're showing proof of what they're seeing.

People were in the water, who could smell and feel oil and chemicals...

(why they were in the water when they could feel and smell oil and chemicals is another matter. )

These people were not being filmed by the media. If they were, i'd know it was bullst.

Of course there is oil. There is always oil in the Gulf. Although there is still much to clean up, it is manageable and the seafood is safe.

Nah, I was just blatantly stiring feces with that one.

Swimming around in water contaminated with oil and Corexit is obviously not a very good idea.

Why have people been told it's safe to do so?

I played in a football match on the beach in Santa Barbara about 4-5 years ago. When I finished, I threw my trainers away as they were absolutely caked in thick oil.

There are a lot of rigs visible offshore that could have contributed to it. Now I know that this is on another ocean, but the USA has fairly significant problems with oil contamination outside of what has happened in the Gulf, and seem to pay no attention to proper clear-up, compensation, and we hear no rants from Washington.

There was a spill there in 1969

They have not. They find where there is oil and purposely go about in it for whatever publicity they seek. Are you so easy a mark as to assume that the water is like that everywhere or even in most places?

[Ozzie Osmond]

When the tanker Braer sank off Scotland in 1993 it was thought there would be a huge environmental disaster. In fact the light crude dispersed almost immediately as a result of evaporation and wave action in the bad weather. Little of it was ever found although there was inevitably some damage to wildlife.

Deepwater Horizon's oil is also relatively "light" (compared for instance with Exxon Valdez heavy crude) and should disperse fairly swiftly - with a bit of luck. A good Tropical Storm could make a big difference.

If the company's name was American Petroleum rather than British Petroleum I think the public, media and government response in USA would have been altogether different. Remember how slow they were sorting out Hurricane Katrina in the same area.

Not so. Oil spills, both water and land based, occur here constantly. The companies are held just as responsible as BP was for this one. The world simply does not get to see the event. As to Katrina, how many times must I set people straight on that event?
