    Tony Hayward implied that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was nothing more than a drop in the ocean
    BP’s beleaguered boss risked international outrage last night by implying that the millions of gallons of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
    Tony Hayward, chief executive of the oil giant, tried to downplay the disaster which is threatening to become the world’s worst oil spill.
    His words will provoke a huge backlash from environmentalists who are furious that BP has failed to plug the leak three weeks after it erupted in a rig explosion that killed 11 workers.
    The Briton insisted the oil slick and the estimated 400,000 gallons of dispersant pumped into the sea to try to disperse it were relatively ‘tiny’ amounts.
    ‘The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean,’ he said. ‘The volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume.’
    Mr Hayward promised that BP would bring an end to the disaster, which is on course to eclipse the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.
    ‘We will fix it. I guarantee it,’ he said. ‘The only question is we do not know when.’
    Greenpeace reacted angrily to the comments – saying that BP could not ‘fix’ an oil spill.
    Its scientist Rick Steiner said: ‘You can’t effectively clean up a major marine oil spill. It just can’t happen anywhere.
    'This whole mythology that we can respond to a spill is just that – mythology. The genie is out of the bottle.’





    Drop in the ocean? Tony Hayward, chief executive of BP, tried to downplay the disaster which is threatening to become the world's worst oil spill
    Mr Hayward’s comments came as dramatic footage of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico was released by BP.
    Taken by an underwater robotic camera, the rust-coloured liquid looks more like steam rushing from a geyser.

    As many as 5,000 barrels a day have been released into the ocean following the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig.
    At BP’s Houston headquarters Mr Hayward, 53, said he has had trouble sleeping and is refusing to watch TV news reports about the increasingly frantic attempts to plug the well.

          Disasters like this and man being uncivil toward other men are the reasons I never had children. The lyrics from "I`ve Had Enough" by The Who sums it up for me... I`m getting sick of this universe, ain`t gonna get better it`s gonna get worse. And the worlds going to sink with the weight of the human race. GL Men.

                        BP officials have said 5,000 barrels per day of crude, or 210,000 gallons, have been leaking for the past three weeks.
                        But a researcher at Purdue University has predicted that about 70,000 barrels of oil per day are gushing into the Gulf after analyzing videos of the spill.


                        full story


                        BP will try again within the next day to cap a well that has gushed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, the energy company said Friday.

                              Afraid that you are right Fish. When I stop to think of the changes we have brought upon the earth in the last 100 years, I am disgusted. The biggest change brought on by man in any 100 year period. Think about it, we were just getting off of horses 100 years ago. And I wonder, where do we go from here?
