I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.
I read the other day that the leak has the same pressure as 4 fire hoses running full stream. When you consider one fire hose can propel a human down the street, it kind of puts into perspective the pressure the thing is spewing out at.
BP's stock is down another 3% already this morning, although so is the market.
8 to 9,000 psi I believe. Thats before the pipe is cut straight, it will increase to 15,000 after the pipe is cut.
"What Not To Say When Your Company Is Ruining The World" - it looks like the BP CEO is going to end up in textbooks as a horrible PR spinmeister. Or he's not getting the right professional help.
And . . . . . what if the oil just kept flowing? . . . . kind of an interesting assertion at the bottom of this opinion piece.
Separately, there’s an encouraging sidenote in comparing the two oil catastrophes. The fleeing Iraqi troops didn’t just burn oil; they also opened valves sending some 8 million barrels of crude into the Persian Gulf, making that incident the biggest oil spill in history (so far). While sharp drops in shrimp populations were seen shortly afterward, international studies found that the oil had not done long-term damage to corals or fish stocks in that gulf.
"On April 29, The New York Times reported that Hayward, apparently exasperated, turned to fellow executives in his London office and asked, “What the hell did we do to deserve this?" (A possible answer might be the company's 760 safety violations over the last three years. ExxonMobil, in contrast, has had just one.)
BP announced today that oil and gas is being received onboard the Discoverer Enterprise following the successful placement of a containment cap on top of the Deepwater Horizon's failed blow-out preventer
I'm surprised there's been no BP employee comments in this thread. There's a large Calgary office, my GF has a tenant that's a senior BP person renting out her whole house. This person was going to retire shortly. I'm wondering if we'll be getting a call that the individual might want to either break or extend the lease possibly due to a lack of ability to retire suddenly. I'd imagine a lot of long time employees have taken a large hit in their savings/investments as a lot is just piled back into the company.
If I win the lottery tonight I'll buy some. At ~38 bucks it's hard to buy enough to really make it worth it. I hope my mutual fund companies are looking to buy though.
