- It's been four years since the Deepwater Horizon disaster that killed 11 people and unleashed oil into the Gulf of Mexico for 87 days. Scientists dove to the Gulf floor for the first time since 2010 to determine how marine life is recovering. Chip Reid reports.
And BP is still in business.. go figure
Why shouldn't they be? That's just dumb of you to say.
@@doesntmatter8873 he is probably a tree hugger or thinks world is gonna end according to AOC
Why would you imagine it wouldn't be? Serioulsy?
@pawelsawicki1750 I mean we know multinational don't get in trouble- but they *should*
And a gazillion (87800+) people would have lost jobs.... go figure.
well to be fair the animals that were found in the sea-bed are some of the most resilient marine life of all time
And then I see a deep water horizon ad, gg.
Gg
I remember when this happened. When I saw the video it reminded me when I went to Florida as a kid and wasn't aloud in the ocean because a oil spill. 2 years later (2012) the next time I came I was able to go in again. I was surprised that this was exactly that video.
Good to see Alvin the submersible. First seen that sub in a documentary when ballard dived to the wreck of the Titanic. He has been well maintained.
You know BP is like, "That's our oil!!! Don't you take it, lady."
how are we suppose to appreciate something we have never seen...
Well. It didn’t even go 10 years without something happening again
I know BP was fined but I thought they were also responsible for some sort of clean up and this is a sample from over 2 miles away I can only imagine what ground zero looks like..
I remember when this happened I was working on a onshore drilling rig knew a guy for H&P. Some of the guys on my rig knew a guy, they were from the same small town of of one of the guys that died in the blowout.
Why two miles away from the capped well? Would be nice to see it if you ask me.
Divers attempted to dive where the platform had been. Fed divers were forbidden to dive, but the oil co wanted private divers to check on it. Scott Porter was one of the first and got very ill. He and others talked about that and were run outta town by BP. Mr Porter is a anti-BP convert and is still very ill and mad. Too toxic to dive
Anyone who walks on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico would get ill, they'd be under about 700 atmospheres of pressure and would be crushed up into a dense little ball of carbon.
This is a tragedy even years later. The Gulf Stream affects the jet stream along the Atlantic Coast too. Love how they staged Fukushima months later to make it look like that was the problem. So sad
+Katt Eleanor's
Quick question, how exactly does one stage a tsunami?
Just lost a boat captain from multiple organ failure. He and crew were sprayed by planes with corexit.
No MDs will diagnose. Medicare won't assign ICD numbers for billing. TV, hospitals paid off
It has been over a decade, any updates on this? How is the seabed now?
Also curious
Fishing has gotten much better. I went out there about 6 years ago. Caught all kinds of fish. I mean in 1000 years, it may turn out to be a good thing. Carbon is the building block of life after all
Its still bad from medical health of local people to sick marine life
why take samples 2 miles away from the spill? because they dont want to show the real damage
The oil eating microbe thing the oil company tried to push was obviously false. It looks like it simply made the oil sink.
Hold up, 87 days gushing?! Why was it only like 6 days in my memory. 87 days!!!?
Yeah well 3 months of spilling oil.
Because the yanks used it as a way to make money from BP and lay the blame where blame wasn't entirely needed
That the same sub named Alvin that was used by Ballard in his first Dives to the Titanic? Or is it just a newer one that follows the naval tradition of reusing names?
I came here from the fire in the gulf that is going on now
One spot.... let's see. spill happened 4 years prior and you tested a random site 2 MILES away from ground zero. Sample had 4 to 5 inches of oil on the surface. Image how much is at the well.
Uncle Sam would not allow anyone within 2 miles of the well. So, BP sent her to that site - which had 1 to 2 inches of oil mixed in with top layer sediment.
So stop lying.
2:29 facehugger?!?!?
Lmao yeah. Just less legs
i love that the environment is recovering! but it wasn't just BP at fault there, the rig wasn't owned by BP, it was owned by Transocean and leased by BP. The investigation found 3 companies were responsible for the accident and poor communication was a big part of that, BP, Transocean and Halliburton (the cement contractor who supplied dodgy cement)
Not to mention they sent Schlumberger home without running cement test/not providing the results or whatever. Halliburton thought they did the best cement job. Idk, that well is most definitely snakebitten
Don’t you dare defend BP. It was completely on them ! I’m sure you not familiar with the oil field. But the company has full authority. Whatever he says goes. It was BP who gave the commands that lead to this tragic accident! They should have all went to jail ! All to save money !
@@mikelross3505 don't get me wrong I'm not saying BP were innocent, but two other companies were also found to be at fault, so don't blame just BP. Transocean and Halliburton are also guilty, they deserve their share of the blame
@@LongdownConker all other service companies that where involved only do what BP tells them todo. BP Was over budget an behind schedule. They did not allow proper procedures to be done.
@@mikelross3505 the investigation laid blame on all three.
Pressure does not excuse them.
Halliburton supplied dodgy cement, that isn't entirely BPs fault.
All 3 of them contributed to the accident and all 3 should have been held accountable for their roles in it
This is almost 10 years ago I feel old ...
its 11 now.
Wow am amazed Alvin is still in use, it was built in 1964.
Bishop Howells some idiot in the comments said he helped forge the spheres... In 2009, haha.
Lucky Luke there's no 2 mentioned in the story, nor is it called the Alvin 2.
But 2013 isn't 2009, just saying...it was a refit. No new spheres, I love Google😊
onehothand68 simple google search proves the guys story is correct. New spheres were made ya air head
Kyle Hanner you say you wanna sux what?
Wait... how exactly does oil stay sedimented? Doesn't all oils float on water??
Not when you mix it with "correxet"... Probably spelled that wrong...
Fly to Aruba and see the hudge oil slick trapped in for miles and miles. Take your sub down there and tell us what you think.
What is needed is to open up the Mississippi flow. This will carry the necessary sediments to quickly cover over all the oil and allow nature to do her thing. As to why they after 4 years still won't allow researchers access to the very site that was the cause of this problem, well we pretty much know why.
Hello...Oil floats. The nearby seabed will be relatively clean. The worst areas will be where the oil flowed to. And remember they used an emulsifier so the oil sank to the seabed again somewhere else.
to try rehabilitate the seabed what about drilling some deep holes into the sand or mud layer and pumping the sand/mud up to surface and then letting it drift down around as the currents move.
It would add a topcoat for plants and creatures to live in and seal the oil in.
raise the sand/mud with air to a central float with long disharge pipes to cover very large areas.
To think this is what we are doing in those oceans . It’s scary !!
My dad was on the rig a week before it blew up
@brownwings00 what? Was that an attempt to be funny?
1 Mile down - 2 hours. 2 miles away - 3.5 hours. Almost 6 hours to get there.
I never got gas again from bp after that. They pushed the crew thats why it happened. Some ceo guy not listing to the crew. Which knows the rig way better then them.
I get all of my gas from Taco Bell
BassGuitarGuy128 lmao!
Vw lover It didn't happen because they pushed the crew. It was due to cutting corners and the need to increase profits. The crew did their jobs business as usual only this time the well pushed harder than they did. Also VW lied about their emissions testing, i see you still love them tho. Kind of a hypocrite.
Nature..... it uh.... finds a way.
Oil floats on water..... How can this stuff be found AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN?????
It was sprayed with heavier chemicals to make it sink to the sea floor.
Americans trying to cover it up and ignore there still a problem till this day
where did the oil come from again?
Time to develop an ocean purifier 🤣
That's a good idea
And they did it again
I remember this day wow it was scary
It's been a decade. Have they been back?
Bad stuff happens at the turn of every decade! 2010, 2020!
2019?
Hopefully, some day soon, technology will make cleaning up/removing this oil from the bottom economically feasible.
Nature makes it happen eventually.
I'm surprised to see life bounce back so soon.
A stray crab and an ell sitting on 3 inches of coagulated oil isn't exactly "life bouncing back" ... this is a puff piece and absolute bs.
Well, it's been 12 years now. I wonder how things are down there.
Same thing happened in 2021 in the same area .. 🤷♂️
There's volcanos other there too
Shouldn't BP be cleaning up the sea floor?
Alvin was the submarine that went to the titanic
A drop of dawn and grease is gone
The planet been through far far worse and it heals itself all human life will all be gone and new civilization that will recreate will never know of this oil spill or will there be any evidence.
Actually searched for this x'| wonder how it's now
Of course life is back, this is the Gulf where oil is always present. Oil seeping into the Gulf is a natural phenomenon. There are species of marine bacteria in several families, including Marinobacter, Oceanospiralles, Pseudomonas, and Alkanivorax, that can eat compounds from petroleum as part of their diet. In fact, there are at least seven species of bacteria that can survive solely on oil, (NOAA)
Yeah its natural for seeps to happen but an uncontrolled release of millions of gallons is different.
@@NotProFishing and yet the oil always gets eaten up within days of the oil spill, millions of gallons included.
Ummm, if you were standing in the Pacific Ocean just a few feet off the coast of California, technically you'd be able to look down and see the bottom of the ocean, even if it's just two or three feet deep.
How old are you?
Idk between 30 and 60
I like that "what does this mean "?
Yep life is returning , saw a squid, crab and eel ….BP will be pleased thou as they can build more rigs now.
I'd say it's a stretch to say the ocean bottom here has "repaired itself". Several inches of oil soaked sand in those samples were not there before the spill, and we have to wait to see how long before many creatures repopulate that were there before the spill
2023. The wildlife is 100% back to normal and even better in some spots. Fishing in grand isle and Venice are just as good as they once were
Well yeah the fish are eating it , be like plastic where it makes it way up into the food chain but no biggie
Would be cool to see a follow up now
Yes, I wonder if the great beaches along the coast are safe to swim in now!
I wonder how cheap Petrol would be if all this damn oil didn't spill...
210 millions fallow and they say they dont have gas
chop chop research team, where’s our update
Anyone here after the latest fire?
Could affect? It DID affect that entire area. These same people digging for oil are the same ones stating their is global warming.
BP is an advertiser
It is warm water, oil is natural organic substance and brakes down rapidly in the environment.
Mother nature will fix it over time
and human will repeat it
Only nature itself can heal itself over time
We’re sorry.
Hello, I am a Korean writer. If you don't mind, can I use this video for about 5 seconds to talk about safety?
People that haven't seen the bottom of the ocean can't appreciate how phenomenal it is. Thank you Mrs Obvious.
Who removed all the oil spilled during WW2 ? Places like Truk and all ships full of oil and other stuff that went down.? It seems that the earth took care of itself all on its own when left alone
Scientists: We will keep coming out here with our diesel ship to check the progress.
Aired
BP still needs to clean up oil.
Because oil is still on the bottom of the ocean.
I really want to eat one of those crabs on the deep-sea floor and see if it tastes different
they taste like oil right now
so if an earthquake ruptured the sea floor and oil spills out, will she be as upset? oil was not created by man.
I seab, he seabs, she seabs, we're all seabing.
Don't these people realize that oil comes from the ground!!! Creatures have lived alongside the oil for millions of years!!!
Now all the sea life there will be getting cancer swimming around that muck permeated sea floor....
Isn't it idiot to think that the sea wouldn't return to normal. The ocean has been belching out oil among other things for millions of years and it will go on doing that long after we are gone.
kool oil that sinks
Yes I was wondering about that new discovery
it's not the oil that sinks, I think they used some sort of chemical for cleanup afterwards that bonds the oil and sinks to the bottom.
***** May be a valid point, forgot about the dispersant.
Corexit binds to oil and sinks it a foot or so below, Since BP was fined according to the amount spilled, and since THEY ran cleanup, with CG as their pit bulls, they sank the oil. But corexit and the 2-butoxyethanol is able to cross cell walls so can alter DNA in living things and has....it is also killing ppl on the Gulf. another 170,000 will die in next 5 years....media forgot to tell y'all that
What is oil? Dead plant and animal life that sank to the sea bed! Is it me?!
Same Alvin from titanic?
it has been 4 more years, so maybe she should check again
Promising name for a ship xD
While Joy is riding on a diesel powered boat. The irony.
?
I don't buy it...what happens in 20o years when that cap fails?
That’s what I’m sayin. As much pressure as that monster has, it’s gonna fail eventually
Gilbert Godfrey telling me I can't appreciate the bottom of the ocean. That's a lie. I got some bottom in the ocean just 4 months ago in Panama City.
Nature finds a way
She worries that it "could". Not that it will...
Is there ever any good news from oil companies?
Yes. .. Every time you crank your car or use electricity or take medication or use something made of plastic, etc etc etc.
I got a bag of shrimp in freezer and it might go into trash.
If its North Atlantic shrimp you're fine
00:47:maybe they need also to see it with their own eyes.....
this is what happens when Americans tries to outsmart mother nature
Payed off by gov. It's cbs. A spot the size of Portugal in the gulf is a DEAD ZONE.
Which has nothing to do with this spill.
I don't know why this vid showed up in my shit but since I'm here... Learn what you're talking about before you talk stupid. The dead zone is caused by high nitrogen in the rivers running into the Gulf which is caused by farming. While shitty, it's not at all related to this spill. There are dead zones in several other bodies of water as well.
100 percent correct deathmetalinfidel...nitrogen and sulfates from water treatment plants and farm runoff...those dead zones have very little to do with oil period theyre all huge algae blooms which suck up all the oxygen in that area of water..this lady was not paid off and seems like she truly cares about the ocean not to mention she is an oceanographer that's been studying the gulf for 20 years...
These people literally live off of government funding. I was very close to becoming a marine biologist at the University of South Florida until I realized how this whole thing works.
Hajji Daoud at least she is not from a company because companies are in comparison to governments way more bad.
Mr.Ruffy: Only those companies that collude w/the gov.
Spoiler alert: itll never be the same.
But hey, at least BP made their profit goals right guys?
Well. Carbon is the building block of life
Is sad he look to collect the oil or something else
didn't that Alvin sub find titanic?
LawSheep yep sure did well it went down to titanic but didn't find it it was already found by the time Alvin went down
Ben Conway it's a celebrity lol
LawSheep lol yea Alvin is kind of a celeb but only known to a few but to a lot of dumb fucks wouldn't even know wat u were on about
Alvin went to the titanic with robert ballard
this has 99 pc recovered now good news
