what is really familiar is that the well belonged to BP, and they tried all the same things and none of them worked THEN EITHER.

and that was in 200 feet of water.

Obviously fake. That would have liquidated the Louisiana coast, killed every fish in the ocean and caused the end of all life as we know it.

BTW, I thought Maddow was a dude when the video started.

I don't watch tv any more, so I'm not familiar with the faces of the iron crotched feminazis paraded around as news reporters.

This one always blows my mind. I guess accounting techniques are pretty shitty in Russia.

How dare you? The end of the world is upon us and all you can do is make fun of the situation. Screw you man!!! I will never be able to fish again and I may never eat another oyster as long as I live!!!!

I'm sorry but that isn't accurate. It is estimated that it started at 30,000 but was reduced by various countermeaures. If it was as you stated, the total barrels lost would have been +8Million rather than the 3 million estimated.
