Day 1 spill map vs. day 8 spill map ( interactive)

[dixiegrrrrl]

BP denied the oil spill at first, one of the reasons for the delay and the spread.

Interactive map here, day by day settings upper left hand corner.


PLUS: the page has tabs to who is who at BP, Trans-Ocean, how much money is made, where all the drilling is , etc.

1. wow.

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. Yeah...everything on one page, sorta, with good tabs.

I just found out TransOcean started in Birmingham Ala. of all places, then headquarted in the
Cayman Islands ( sounds suspicious) and recently moved headquarters to Switzerland.
Wonder if they are sue proof?

7. Alabama is Rove country.

Ask Don Siegelman.

PS: Thank you for an excellent post and thread, dixiegrrrrl.

12. If thats Rove Country...it means the voters there are like ROVE...som,e Rove lite, others Rove Aged

Aloha....hope all iz well in yo neck of the woods....

We still free of tsunamis, earthquaks, tornados, 'canes, lava, oil slicks, and bullets...but we got vog

[jus_the_facts]

19. Hi Opi....this ensures the coasts of the Gulf are GONE....combine with a 'cane....

...since the season starts in less than a month....there's no tellin' what could happen...still remains to be seen just how horrific this disaster will impact life as we knew it. :evilfrown:

[dixiegrrrrl]

26. Belated..you are welcome.

Yeah, we got Rove's mini-me, bob riley, as Guv.

[malaise]

2. Damn

How corporations cover up their mess and then blame government.

[Incitatus]

3. ut oh

[MadMaddie]

I hope criminal charges are filed.

[WheelWalker]

9. Whoa fuck....that's some badass shit. K&R.

[Mira]

10. Thanks Dixiegrrrrl, this is sad information.

I'm traveling and it's a bit hard to keep up. I'm devastated. Bookmarked and recommended.

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. If it is any help, I am brokenheartened enough for us both.

Have been seriously in the watery eyes mode for the past few days.

This ought to make all the red southern states think again, I'd say.

[glowing]

13. Talk about pissing in the salad bowl..

[Motown_Johnny]

14. day 8, and they expect this to discharge oil for a month or more

I wonder what day 28 is going to look like

[Downwinder]

15. Probably well on its way up the Gulf Stream on its way to England. n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. I think it may be up to three months

That's what they were originally saying anyway. That it would take 90-days to drill relief wells if they ended up going that route. Which is what they're reduced to doing now that everything else has failed.

[Motown_Johnny]

30. they are talking about trying to crimp the pipe to restrict the flow and about

the "Dome" to try and capture new oil flowing out of the pipe which could then be pumped to the surface and placed into tankers.


I am hoping it doesn't take 90 or even 60 days to contain the new oil flowing out of the pipe.

16. the panhandle of florida has some of the prettiest white beaches in the world

or 'had' some

[scentopine]

18. thanks for this, very useful.... makes me wonder... anyone know

how they are going to drop a giant "dome" over the leak given all the various infrastructure that is at the bottom? I think most people believe its just a simple hole in the ocean floor spewing a single stream of oil.

[sulphurdunn]

20. Congress will do nothing now,

when it needs to act. It will, however, increase its take from oil lobbyists to kill any serious reform of that industry, and it will pass on the cost of this catastrophe to the public.

21. How long before they start telling us to be grateful for all the jobs it's created? K&R

:hi:

[fishwax]

22. quite informative -- k/r

:kick:

23. when the hurricane plowed through that area in 07 (?) and bush flew back to tx control center...

I told everyone that he was more interested in the rigs than the people on land. everyone thought i was paranoid.

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. Which Hurricane?

Katrina was 05.

[AsahinaKimi]

24. The Santa Barbara Oil spill was in 1967... today...

You still have to wash your bare feet, and scrub oil off your sandals. The beaches brown.
This stuff does not go away.

[progressoid]

25. And it's only just begun.

This is beyond awful.

[earth mom]

28. Kick-too late to rec! Everyone needs to see this!

29. BP should be forced to pay 20% of it's after tax profit in additional taxes to pay to drill...
