I'm from the Louisiana coast. This tragedy is still effecting our diminishing marshlands, sea life and livelihoods. BP can never pay for the damage.
That's right because people pay for it every time you go to the gas station
@@Nick-wh4jt1000% agree. I am so sick of people complaining about this disaster. We rely on oil every single day of our lives. It’s an unfortunate event but we rely on oil. Stop complaining people.
@georgefranko7788 you can rely on oil, and also expect safe practice and protocols, so that things like this, don't happen.
@@georgefranko7788let them ruin your home and your ability to feed yourself
I live on the Gulf Coast in the Florida Panhandle and I was in high school when this happened. I remember going to the beach to surf one weekend and seeing oil all over the pure white sand and was shocked it had traveled that far. The Gulf still hasn’t recovered 14 years later.
I appreciate it when you post "old" stories. So much happens in this world on a daily basis and the only way to keep people accountable is by keeping the story alive.
I'm tired of being angry about things that should never be allowed to happen !!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Is all about profitable for human kind at the same time killed themselves and other animasi life in the sea.what a shame .
Same here! We live like we all hate each other, its sad.
I feel so sad that animals have to live with us in this world.
Its been 13 years how's the gulf now?
Poor little Pelican 😢
I love this young lady spirit. Why don't these documentaries made national headlines.
The movie about this is excellent
Nothing but greed caused this catastrophe.
We need a follow up for Gosh sake.
they did
it sunk and is still there
information tab, radar proves they used corexit and sunk the oil tar so we cannot see it
Can't believe how negligent these oil companies are. Fishing industry is stuffed forever . Animals dying and suffering. 16 millions litres a day!!!!! The gulf really has been destroyed.
I used to work at a BP oil refinery in the. USA and found them to be 'Penny Wise and Pound Foolish' in other words they wouldn't correct little problems before they turned into large ones, however they treated us employees fairly.
they tried to save pennies, and instead spent dollars to repair their problems.
That's with most companies and never understood that, penny smart dollar foolish but most don't treat their employees fairly. Worked at a big company myself and never will again.
I remember when this tragedy struck; it was so devastating to learn of the scope of the destruction. 😔🌍😔
9:17 It might still be impressive to see all those pelicans still alive, but it's still hard to believe how much damage it has done.
Its time these scumbags were ordered to pay billions of dollars to repair the damage and compensate the local government and businesses etc etc
I live on the Gulf Coast in Texas and just 30 minutes from the Louisiana State line. It's a terrible tragedy, and for so long, we were worried about what that would do to the Gulf Coast and to our economy here. I mean, keep in mind that we had just had a major explosion at a BP refinery in Texas City a few years prior, for which 14:11 BP was found to be at fault for as well. Things seem to be ok in our area now, but personally, im more worried that something similar to the Deepwater Horizon spill could just as easily happen here, with the many oil rigs we have off our coast.
13:36 You couldn't help but think that fixing the problems that caused the explosion mentioned earlier could've saved BP from such indignity. It goes to show that profit is not everything. As the saying goes, "easy come, easy go".
This is disgusting ! I remember this disaster, they said it was under control. Dirty bastards!!!!BP executives should be washing birds with the public
All the same people that say its such a Tragedy Will go Crawl back into the car , Turn on all the lights , cook dinner tonight , and stay warm this winter and cool this summer and have no idea where it all comes from or how they even survive day to day and would be gone in a few days without it ;) Oil and Gas 🙏
Horrible
I live on The Gulf Coast
God what are we doing to this planet! We are like parasites..
The ones doing it all are the parasites.
They blame us.
The only thing they care about on this planet: the natural resources & money.
Govt is a lie.
As long as profit-minded people still alive, there's not much we can do about it.
This is what happens everyday.
Big company's taking big profits,even if it cost human lifes or the health of people/animals
Tragic and devastating.
Don’t let Greta see it
She doesn't care.
the oil is still there.. they sprayed it with synthetics and it sank... so we could NOT document it but radar proved this... i lived there
I was born & raised on the east coast, on an island.
The bp oil spill gutted me....I can't even imagine the pain & shock you all went through, on top of all the lying & that damned smug ceo, Hayward.
I still have a clipping from a magazine of the phone call Jimmy Harrell made to Houston as the rig was exploding 'Are u f*king happy?
Are u f*king happy? The rig's on fire! I told u this was gonna happen!'
Harell was the installation manager on the rig.
BP was burying the oil under beach sand.
They made it illegal to get close enough to birds or turtles to save them.
They went out on those nesting sites & tromped all over them.
Once I saw what went on with bp & Obama I never was able to stop seeing corruption & bs to this day.
So tragic
I'm so choked up in tears I don't know what to say 😭💔
How long did it take them to stop the massive oil leak?
It was like 60 + days, almost 3 months oil gushed by the millions of gal per day
@@TheNextFiles288didn't they debate about how to cap it at one point? I think they were more interested in laying blame.
B.P. executives should be held accountable and be in prison for this shit.
this is so sad. the innocent pelicans, birds, and marine ecosystem that suffers because of us. this is what happens when you put profits over people, health & safety. tragic.
Great Movie
They need to fix this
Companys putting profit first is only half the problem. Corrupt gov. Taking payoffs to not prosecute criminal behavior is the larger of the two halves.
Shame on BP, 😢
How horrific, why is this allowed ???
Because money. When people are too blinded for profit, this is what happened.
BP didn't own the rig, so how could it be BP's crowning glory?
Tide changes and that oil hits floridas coast will be interesting.
Why have you not covered the story of Hatun Tash's disappearance? . and the UK police shutting down any investigation?
To late already poisoned.
Everybody remembers the Name BP but nobody ever speaks or knows the names of those who are making millions n billions each yr b4 and after this happened mean while those people are chillin in there big houses n yachts coz the Name BP is blammed
It looks like blood
Won't all the hurricanes they get help with that
Whats the name of the guy in the meeting who wanted it done differently. Name him !!!
News flash; oil is natural!
BP DRILLED INTO A UNDER THE OCEAN FLOOR VOLCANO !!!
Oil is still there... as well as the power plant southeast of that at tip of florida... also leaking. I documented this all, its all there...infotab. ❤
I remember when this happened. It was horrible!
Its like there's some lesson to be learned at the expense of all other life except the ones that cause these "lessons" , Sadly as its been happening since the dawn of man we will never learn.
And the cycle continues.
Enjoy the corporate greed! Isn’t fun!
In all things, given time, all that can go wrong will go wrong. It always has, it always will. Couple that with the greed of man. And you end up in the world we have.
I bet the people responsible for this are being punished lol
This is y god mother nature sealed oil deep down
This is what the "the just stop oil" protesters should be putting their energy into , cleaning the birds cleaning the beach, doing something proactive! Not sitting in the middle of the road.😢
No. The multimillion multinational corporations that cause these tragedies should be cleaning up their mess and people should be protesting to prevent this from happening again
@@riverdreamer78very true. Let them be held responsible.
Do you think before you speak?? Oil is destroying our only environment! Our environment is created by" life"! And that life is dying!
I meannnnn we kinda need oil
This world will end because of us.
HUMANITY HAS FAILED !!!!
I'm the 16th person to see this
It's the Gulf of Mexico!
It's fine.
I wish she was my friend
Why is this recorded so quiet?
I expect the land will sink into the ocean
Jejeje...llegué antes del próximo comentario.
we love BP oil
Hasnt affected my life 🤷♂️
Billionaire lifestyle
First off security, security, security.
Disgusting🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
Second worse thing to happen to this area. Only to be trumped by the event that created the damn place while eradicating the dinosaurs.
What ?
@@im-Sara-Jayne. , the Gulf of Mexico was created by the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs
A year ago I spent a month in the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach area of Alabama & made some treks to Pensacola Beach as well. I never found a trace of oil damage. The locals I spoke with said it was all cleaned up and/or biologically degraded years ago.
This video is blatantly missing videos of the same areas today.
Cheap sensationalism pushing a narrative.
We also never see current photos & video from the area of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Ecological disasters, yes. Tragic indeed. But nature heals. It heals quicker when we lend a technological hand and lots of elbow grease.
Hopefully the detached yahoos in the corporate offices & boardroom learned a valuable lesson. If not, then next time in addition to the fines and cleanup costs perhaps Directors & Officers need to be fined and lose their positions.
Shame on the culture on that rig that led to such critical failures of their safety devices. Some paid with their lives...
The hydrates trapped in the depths of the Gulf of Mexico by water pressure and low temperature are STILL there,it will last for DECADES!
yum corexit 9500
I stand on business!
Get over it. This is nothing in the scope of this planet. 4.5 Billion years old.
Thats sad bp. 1 billion is nothing in the way of the profits they make yearly...???? Just spend the needed amount of money and fix this shit bp!!!! Imagine how cheep fuel could be if yall weren't letting it all flow out into the ocean 🤔🤦♂️👍
