Default BP Gulf oil spill

By now I'm sure everybody has heard about the oil rig that caught on fire and went under causing TONS of oil to gush out into the Gulf of Mexico.
Well today we can finally get a live feed from the source: BP

[Only registered can see links. ]

You will need Windows Media Player v11 I think to watch the video. If you don't have it, you can install the plugin.

Holy shit, BP are screwed big time, I hope they will go out of business even it's almost impossible.I wonder if any of you guys are boycotting them? I'm personally done with them I will stick with HESS
BP and Toyota should team up and go to another planet to start a new business

Yea, I'm kinda surprised that the prices haven't gone up. In fact, on the BS news, they actually said that the prices in my area might actually do down this summer instead of up.

Hell yea I do. It's like Toyota, even though Toyota had a problem with their cars, people will still buy their cars.

This is such a bad situation! I live on the Gulf side and this is horrific! The ecosystem in the Gulf is going to be impacted by this of atleast 30 years. All the oil in under the water. BP does not want the public to see how bad it really is and is trying to hide it. Like them lying about how much oil was really comming out. They are putting that chemical dispursants in the water to keep the oil below the surface and the dispursants are toxic by their self. they put over a million gallons of that crap in the gulf already. This is only the begining of the impact on the enviroment!
