Oil from the BP oil spill disaster is spewing again into the Gulf of Mexico at nearly full force after a venting system connected the so-called containment cap over the blown-out wellhead was damaged in an accident with a robot sub, said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the commander in charge of the government's effort to control the 65-day-old spill.
COO Doug Suttles is dispatched to Florida's Pensacola Beach to oversee cleanup.Separately, Allen said two cleanup workers have died in unrelated accidents in the Gulf, the first deaths reported since 11 people died in when Deepwater Horizon drilling rig burned and began the crisis in April.
Allen said the small sub bumped into the venting system connected to the containment cap. That sent gas rising through the plumbing that sends warm water down to the cap to prevent solid crystals -- known as hydrates -- from forming in the cap.
"They are checking the containment cap right now," said Allen at a midday briefing in Washington. "If there are no hydrates in the containment cap, they will attempt to reinstall the containment cap and begin producing later on today. If there are hydrates they will probably have to re-run the pipeline and that'll take a considerable amount longer."
Before the problem with the containment cap, Allen said it had collected about 700,000 gallons of oil in the previous 24 hours. Another 438,000 gallons were burned.
Up to 14 controlled fires are being conducted every day, and they've already burned 125,000 barrels that otherwise would have drifted toward shore. At the site of the accident, two tankers have been collecting oil siphoned up from the containment cap. And huge ocean skimmers, the largest of their kind, have been scooping up 8,000 barrels of oil per day.

100% containment was never claimed.
But do you really believe the riser was not delivering oil and gas to the drill ship? Where do you think the oil and gas being flared is coming from? Where do you think the oil being off loaded was coming from?
Then provide the evidence. Where is the footage that shows what occurred?
I have no agenda. 0bama does.
And if you want to continue attacking me, bring the evidence.
LOL!
0bama thanks you for helping his disinformation campaign.
wow, bamster caught a live one here!http://new.wavlist.com/soundfx/020/clock-cuckoo3.wav)
Umm, I think it’s still Bush’s fault, and of course we should throw in Cheney and Haliburton. They apparently allowed all the safety violations to take place. So this is apparently Bush’s Second Katrina . /s
How about zero containment. If BP and the government can’t solve the problem they need to tell the truth and look for answers elsewhere. I am not anti-business by any stretch of the imagination, but by golly, I have a sense when the public is being “managed” for a greater political end.
You find evidence to support your lies. It’s not my fault you are ignorant of the facts.
You’d probably try to say The Haulocaust never happened because you didn’t see it. Just because you didn’t happen to catch the event doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, and your continued lying isn’t going to help you get up to speed on the truth so you don’t spout more ignorant lies.
Good luck, the truth is out there, it’s for you to find.
If you want to continue attacking a reputable private business, you had better bring the evidence to support your spurious bullcrap and lies.
0bama is supposed to engineer the defeat of US forces and overthrow of the US economy and legal system. That’s why he was ‘elected.’
We on FR know this.
There are too many coincidences in occurrences for anyone to conclude logically that his ‘policies’ are inimical to the preservation of the United States, a country he so desperately wants to destroy.
I can see what you're saying and yes, if they just said that all would be well. Sadly, they have not. I'd rather know than not know. We can handle the truth, why are the treating us as idiots?
Yes and sorry that some times big business sucks up to government to make their own lives better, especially when you have a worthless administration like this.
ZERO?
What do you think is driving those flares from the ships?
The manifold connected to the choke and kill lines are still delivering oil and gas to the Q4000 where the flares are still going.
You need to add a layer of tinfoil to your hat.
This is true.
If you look at the history of my posting here and see what I have done, you’d come to quite a different conclusion.
I happen to believe the spill disaster was either an act of God’s wrath against the US, an act of domestic eco-terrorism, paid for by Soros/Gore, etc., or an act of war committed by the NK sub off Cuba.
In no way did I say or suggest that BP was responsible for anything that has occurred in the Gulf. I have NEVER said or written that.
So, you wanna dance, member of the class of 2008?
So what word would you want used? Accidently? Mistakenly?
It sure has heck wasn't planned.
Where is WALL-E?
Actually, I want to see the video PROOF of what occurred. I don’t want a story written by a reporter.
With all the cameras running, someone must have it.
And no thanks, I do not want to dance, I'm not a homo. You get a c- for effort.
LMAO< I love it when people attempt to use time as a member of a forum as if it means anything. It really doesn't. It certainly doesn't make your idiotic conspiracy theories any more plausible, either. LMAO! DUH!
Be gone now, troll.
Oh, wait, one more thing. You are a liar. Your posts in this thread alone prove that.
Yes, I need to keep repeating to myself "BP is my friend and the Obama administration too" until my eyes bleed. I have just not been "zen" enough or drunk the Kool-Aid which ever the case may be.
If you weren't lazy, you wouldn't be ignorant tot he fact such video exists. Do your own homework.
I understand that Obama is in charge of every aspect of this operation.
