Animated computer model map with “drifters” showing estimated location and movement of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This model shows increasing evidence the spill will soon be picked up by the Gulf Loop Current and then into the Gulf Stream with devastating effects for the Florida Keys and the East Coast beaches. Alabama beaches (Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores) and Florida’s Emerald Coast seem to be safe for the next few weeks. Animation from Florida State University.

Sad coverage. Rick should have found better people to talk to. Yes, the only person that we can depend on is God. I am a 4th generation New Orleanian. BP and the gov. are letting us down. They’re not doing anything to stop this oil. They are collecting it to make a profit. They are killing our way of life, our environment, our ecosystem, our tourism, our people! Do you like to come to our festivals and eat our delicious foods? We love you, do you love us? Please pray for our people and wildlife!
Ocean water samples need to be taken offshore and at the coast, dispersants make it change color. Good luck, great drummer.
the US government should sieze the assests of BP america before they take a powder from this country and leave a mess. obama grow some balls and do something, you’re starting to slack like bush did
the US government should sieze the assests of BP before they piss off from america and take a powder and leave a mess. this whole thing nis idiotic. i don’t know of house that does’nt have a water shut off. obama you’re slacking off just like bush did. grow some balls mr president
so can we hook up with Paul Stamets and use mushrooms to save the situation on our own?
If the levees were maintained by the Army Corp of Engineers, and not left to deteriorate after repeated requests to fix them, Hurricane Katrina would not have devastated New Orleans.
I feel so sad for the people of New Orleans. The whole world needs to understand the disaster happening there. It will never be the same there. The only question is how much worse will it get. The whole world should be concerned about this and lending a hand to the fullest capacity of their abilities. Once again the love of money has shown its grotesque head!
Why does God allow some people to suffer so much, and others..well, they get away with every bloody evil blue murdering deed, and still eveything is fine with ehm. Why do they poor people always have to keep on taking shit???? Are they promise any heaven if they don’t believe or accept the Bible’s account of ‘truth’ (*or Islam for that matter)???
Appreciate ye keepin’ the truth out there, Mr. Adams!
FYI, Hurricane Katrina may have been a natural occurrence, but what happened to New Orleans & Louisiana was entirely a Man Made Disaster…levee failure certainly (known poor construction), but the same oil companies that are killing the Gulf have been killing the wetlands in South Louisiana for years dredging them out with channels and letting the saltwater into fresh water bayous.
@i’m from N.O. where there is a long history of race mixing; the only group of people that are worse than europeans (in the treatment of Africans) are half blooded house slaves that do the dirty work for the slave master!
another great use for 5 gallon buckets!
So the “drummer” who clearely didn’t have much to say got more minutes then the clearer speaking fishermen at the end(?) @gop Oh yes and our BLACK president did visit twice and took responsibility. Also I just saw a clip of Bush shaking hands with Haitian refugees and wiping it on Clinton.
Blessed are the poor, look at this dude he don’t have a care int he world he knows whose he is. I love this guy!
Tell it like it is.
Screw BP – BP should be liquidated by the courts and divided among Mexico and the states that border the Gulf of Mexico.
Unfortunately you can’t financially compensate nature or the environment.
After Katrina Bush was lambasted for not acting quickly enough and liberals said it was because NO was mostly black and Bush was white..thirty+days and counting..what’s the excuse for their BLACK president?
@jpcomputerservices his name is george blackman they call him showtime this is the real new orleans we down here on the street blah blah blah god always smiles on everybody wana know why coz god loves you *sings* god has smiled down on me …if u need me to clear up the rest just add me oh and he loves seafood and he made playin on thoes buckets look ez thats hard stuff
Playing for Change should add Showtime to their band =)
Grandpa Elliott is from New Orleans too.
But back on topic, my thoughts/prayers are with N.O. residents.
There are so many talented street performers in N.O. I <3 NOLA!
@jpcomputerservices IM not sure but I got the bit the New Orleans bit anyway
What the hell did that black guy say?
Wonder why you have not mentioned the other BP oil spill in Alaska that happened a few weeks ago..
Ugh. The whole thing sickens me, and is way worse than even the spill of Exxon. Jeez…what a mess. It’s hard to think about without getting a raging headache and wanna cry like a baby. If a hurricane hits that thing, we’re all screwed.
@1929spectre damn… i have never even considered that but it makes perfect sense. No use evacuating people…. the government will get you one way or another. I’m not a religious man, but praying is our last option at this point.
@blueeyes314 I’m from mobile. The beaches are done with. The dry sand is still fine, but right where the water meets it…… its truly sad man. Many of my childhood memories right there on the spot i stood the other day…. i still feel like mourning. we’re so helpless at this point……..
Damn, That was in may. Imagine where the shits gotten to by now. If this is the beggining of the end and we go through famine like everyone says then we deserve it. Here we have leached off the earth for centuries and now we fucked up one of the most fragile habitats in it just because we wanted to save a little money on foriegn oil. Enough of this… I’ve got to go get in my gas guzzling V8 95 BMW 540I, Its got about 300 hourse power, and go get me some Mcdonalds! AMERICA FUCK YEAH!
here is something else to consider if all 2 billion barrels escape ,the pressure of the oil lake helps support the sea bed above it ? yea started to catch my drift ? all oil forced out like a cork out of a bottle ,then water in at great pressure which may cause the sea bed to collapse ? tsunami of oil ? get the picture ?

One person can still make a difference in this world, is that simple interactions have a rippling effect. Each time this gets pass along, the hope in cleaning our planet is passed on .watch the youtube video title “COMPLETE CLEAN UP OF THE GULF SPILL” by? PRR7075
Those BP bastards don’t let the University show any oil going into the gulf stream only 30 mile radius around the rig explosion. Those assassins made the University take those forecasts off the internet to hide the truth.
Just get a big ole’ rock from Arizona and plug the hole… Too easy !!!!
read this on teh interwebz and LOL’D :
“KARMA – When foreigners come to your country and screw everything up over a little oil then don’t clean up after themselves”
@fishdirt yu need look no further than the moon. The dark areas called Mares are the result of lavas pouring thru multiple fissures after the initial impact. I believe all that can be done now is to capture oil/gas gushing out. For that you a giant funnel device and hoses leading up topside to tankers. Then you wait for the pressure to drop before another topkill attempt. You are right, it risks making things worst.
If banks stopped funding wars there would be peace. If banks helped the public instead of the corporations, there would be more wealth in the 3rd class. If there would be no stock market we would not be sitting in this mess. If there would be no capitalists/communists/kings/queens/ corporations/rulers there would be no wars, poverty, theft of the treasury, inequality, educations cuts, lack of healthcare, illegal alien invasion, slavery, and no oil spills.
Don’t fall for the BP PR campaign! They are spending a MILLION dollars a month to buy key search terms on youtube, which is why their stupid videos pop up all the time!
SHAME ON YOUTUBE for accepting their blood money!!

I think we can stop that split by cover that hole with barrels of toxic wasted .I believe after that everything should be all right ..let me do it I wanna make some millions !!
This is actually getting scary. The amount of pressure is something no one has dealt with before and partially the reason it happened. The only thing able to deal with it is a nuclear explosion but it risks making the rupture worse.
do you have an update again, thanks 😉
Whats scary is this is a month ago.
-Totally devastating to our precious ecology; –although these ruthless Oil-baron bastards should have never been allowed to drill in the Gulf, as the geologists point-out that much of the proximal land has already dropped below sea-leve. Nobody is this stupid, it is likely an effort by the jewZionist Bank’sters to destroy land-values, –whereby as usual they will then grab-up abandoned land for next to nothing. Now do you understand? Abolish their so-called Fed.Reserve-Sys. & IRS-henchmen…
BTW, according to wikipedia there are over 3800 oil rigs in the gulf, currently operating.
@Wakakaboo I hope Mexico and Central America have begun to place booms and other devices to help from this contaminating their shores. I feel helpless as my obligations keep me only able to stay focused, however, not able to do much more. The solar industry needs to become more affordable and competitive. Tony wants ?his life back?, So do shrimp and Pelicans- as well as the families of this rig who lost their loved ones.
Boycott Arco, Castrol and AM PM markets! Boycott all BP companies until this spill is 100% cleaned up! Not because of the original leak but because of the companies response. Please pass it on 5 times!
Very interesting, It would be good to see another update, a mid june one perhaps so we can see how this has progressed since mid may.

please watch the youtube video title “COMPLETE CLEAN UP OF THE GULF SPILL” by PRR7075
and pass this along to as many people as you know.
