BP Fails Booming 101 (Gulf Oil Spill)

We should bombard the media with this. I heard them talking on CNN about how the boom doesn't seem to be working. D'OH - THAT'S CAUSE THEY ARE DOING IT WRONG. MADDENING!!!

3. Someone posted it a week or more ago too.
Very important stuff to get some legs under. Needs to be well known to the point that it is THE topic around water coolers come Tuesday.

2. This video, with all the swearing to make point of how oil co. employees blow off training is great
Very important to keep it out there in the public to raise awareness. The oil company employees don't take it seriously unless the COMPANIES take it seriously. And it's pretty obvious they don't give a shit.

4. BP AND the government.
There's no specialized expertise that BP has which is preventing the government from overseeing or flat out performing that portion of the operations. If there is a failure to place booms properly, where does that buck stop?

5. First I'd fine BP about a million dollars a day
for not knowing how to properly utilize a boom and then have the Coast Guard take over that aspect of operations.
