Two First Hand Accounts of Oilwell Explosion

This one is from a worker who was on the rig. He called in to right-wing radio host Mark Levin’s show in order to dispel lies being spread in the wingnutosphere that the government was involved in the explosion in some way. Here’s the perspective of a fisherman who saw the explosion from the water. If his account is to be believed, he was directly under the rig when it blew out, which is a major safety violation.

The tuna bites were starting to slow down so we drove right up to the rig to try to catch bait. No bait, but we found more tuna under the floating rig. Around 10pm the entire center of the rig started rushing water downwards over all the pipes… I’ve never seen such an event take place. I looked at my friend who previously worked offshore, and he said that’s BOP something another and the rig took a ‘kick!’ I thought the rig was sinking and that was their way of bilging… But nope! Methane gas began BLOWING out of the West side of it and the noise of the thrust was louder than anything I’ve ever herd (except for a sonic boom I herd once, and what I’m about to tell you next) My eyes began to burn and that friend I was telling you about earlier began to SCREAM, “GO, GO, GO, GO, GOOOOO!” I positioned my compass North and put the gears in WOT! At approximately 100 yds from the rig it Exploded! Puts a new meaning to explosion. We hit the deck and continued North @ WOT, Blind because the moon was at quarter crescent and I had no radar.

“Guardian Angel” Judge Prevents Justice in Civil Rights Murder

He is making sure there will never be a trial despite the indictment of the killer of Jimmy Lee Jackson. Jackson’s death inspired the Selma to Montgomery marchers over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. This was the scene when they arrived, the killer was one of the troopers.

BP EXECUTIVES PARTIED ON RIG AS IT EXPLODED

There are multiple versions of this AP story on the web. Read this version, which details the number of BP executives and also describes the scene at the moment of explosion, for some reason later stories alter or omit these sections. Halliburton engineers removed a safety fluid too early, according to this Times-Picayune story, causing the explosion. The revelation of a completion, production, or “safety” party by BP executives on board the rig for the first time provides a possible explanation for the otherwise baffling question of, why where the Halliburton engineers rushing the final completion of the well? Ask the executives who had their hands on the champagne corks.

Anti-Gay Crusader Paid $61,000 By Florida Before Hiring Rentboy.com Prostitute

This is how the Christian Right operates. Earlier this week, famous anti-gay activist Dr. George Rekers was spotted returning from a European vacation with a gay prostitute/escort he hired from infamous website Rentboy.com. NBC Miami points out that Bill McCollum, Florida Attorney General and leader of the state AGs suing against the Health Care Reform bill, recently paid Reker at least $60,900 to testify in support of Florida’s total ban on adoption by gays or lesbians. Well, now we know where some of the Florida taxpayers’ money went, specifically to European shops and hotels, and a gay prostitute.

Bush’s Corrupt Regulators Allowed BP To Drill Without Blowout Plan

We’re talking about the Minerals Management Service, the organization that in an official report was identified as a cesspool of drugs, drinking and actual sex with the industry they were supposed to be regulating. Bush’s “regulators” were literally in bed with the oil company personnel.

BP-Halliburton Oil Slick Hits Land, Begins To Coat Birds

Obama’s conspiracy to kill defenseless birds on the coast of Louisiana in collaboration with companies who spent millions opposing his Presidential campaign is working perfectly.

The Hero of Times Square

See him on TV lately? Where are Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow, for example, who should interview him the way Amy Goodman has.

Oil Spill Totally Out Of Control And Will Only Get Worse

More on this later, but that’s my take on it and I’m sticking to it. It appears that the casing in the ground is damaged, or put another way, the pipe is broken off in the ground. That’s a mile below the surface of a turbulent gulf, and now under an extremely thick oil slick to boot. Crews trying to cut off the oil flow by definition will have to work on top of this dangerous slick to try any remedy that can be thought up. Here’s just one example that hints at what is really being said behind the scenes.
