Another example of escaping methane but not as dangerous as the one above I have to say.

The BP Cover-Up
BP and the government say the spill is fast disappearing—but dramatic new science reveals that its worst effects may be yet to come.

WE'RE SWINGING ON ANCHOR this afternoon as powerful bursts of wind blow down through the Makua Valley and out to sea. The gales stop and start every 15 minutes, as abruptly as if a giant on the far side of the Hawaiian island of Oahu were switching a fan on and off. We sail at the gusts' mercy, listing hard to starboard, then snapping hard against the anchor chain before recoiling to port. The intermittent tempests make our work harder and colder. We shiver during the microbursts, sweat during the interludes, then shiver again from our own sweat.
I'm accompanying marine ecologist Kelly Benoit-Bird of Oregon State University, physical oceanographer Margaret McManus of the University of Hawaii-Manoa, and two research assistants aboard a 32-foot former sportfishing boat named Alyce C. On the tiny aft deck, where a marlin fisher might ordinarily strap into a fighting chair, Benoit-Bird and McManus are launching packages of instruments: echo sounders tuned to five frequencies; cameras; and a host of tools designed to measure temperature, salinity, current velocity, chlorophyll fluorescence, and zooplankton abundance, all feeding into computers lashed into the tiny forward cabin.

Officials deny dispersant use, residents beg to differ

Mayor Sam Seevers knows that BP should not be using dispersants in state waters, but after multiple reports from area residents about suspicious activity, she plans to get to the bottom of it.
“We had asked the Coast Guard and BP to find out what they can, and to let us know what was going on,” Seevers said recently.
She told The Log she had heard people talking about a “mystery dispersant” over the past few days, but it wasn’t until last week’s Vessel of Opportunity meeting at City Hall that Seevers had heard the topic echoed over and over.

Satanic BP is only worried about their bottom line. They could not care less if people get sick and employees die. They will deny any responsibility just as the US military denies Gulf War Syndrome.
Come out to the beach everyone the oil is gone .......

We all wonder if the oil well has been capped...the following article under the section "No End In Sight" begs to differ...
The Gulf BLUE PLAGUE is Evolving
by Gnosty » 10 Aug 2010, 15:58 http://worldvisionportal.org/wvpforum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=940
by Michael Edward
I have been interviewing family and friends who live along the Gulf of Mexico coast in Louisiana and Mississippi. Many of them had been working on shrimp boats before May 1, 2010 and a cousin is a shrimp boat owner. I have also spoken at length with two RN's working at a Gulf coast Emergency Room and an Emergency Clinic who are close family friends. I am basing what follows on their observations and knowledge along with my own personal research.
A cousin who owns his own shrimp boat was hired by BP to assist with oil boom and cleanup operations. Other family members were also hired and have been his crew while undertaking BP boom and cleanup assistance operations. They were all forced to sign agreements not to publicly speak about their work or anything about BP operations. Their legal agreements do not mention anything about speaking openly to their families.
STAGE ONE: THE BLUE FLU a/k/a BP Flu
Every one of those working on the shrimp boat have suffered from flu-like symptoms since the end of May, 2010. This includes migraine headaches, eye aches, joint aches, ear aches, severe coughing bouts, fevers, vomiting, and swollen glands (especially in the neck). These same symptoms are being seen in the coastal ER's as well. But as family and the RN's have confirmed, these symptoms are not caused by any viral flu. This is not the same as the Asian Flu or any other viral flu bug. These symptoms are directly caused by a lack of oxygen due to airborne chemicals and toxic gases.
Most family members who work and live further inland have not yet encountered these symptoms since their jobs are indoors where recirculating air conditioning systems isolate them from constant outdoor air exposure. They also drive to/from work with the recirculating A/C system on to keep cool. The same applies when they are in their air conditioned homes. But those who do work outdoors 10-20 miles inland have recently experienced many of the same flu-like symptoms as those in the family who are working on the boats.
According to the ER nurses, in the southern Mississippi and Louisiana areas there have been more than 600 cases of what their staffs have appropriately named the "BP flu". The vast majority of these "flu" cases are with those people who are working along the coast, as well as further offshore, on boats; and those who live along the southernmost areas along the Gulf of Mexico. One might initially think - based on mainstream media reports - that these flu-like symptoms are nothing to be overly concerned about. This is not a matter of 'take two aspirins and call me in the morning'. Nothing could be further from the truth.
As reported by researchers at Columbia Univ.'s National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) in late July 2010, more than 40 percent of adults living within ten miles of the coast say they have experienced direct exposure to the oil spill or clean-up effort. Within this group, nearly 40 percent reported physical symptoms of skin irritations and respiratory problems.
CYANOSIS: OXYGEN STARVATION
Along with the symptoms that mimic flu-like viruses, there are increasing cases of severe symptomatic cyanosis. These rapidly increasing symptoms range from bluish lip color to numbness in fingers and toes. There is also a fast growing increase of pneumonia cases which are being diagnosed as chemical induced pneumonia. Those working on boats and those living directly on the coast are the most effected.
Cyanosis is simply oxygen starvation in the blood. With a moderate case involving such a lack of oxygen, the skin appears to have a blueish colour. Hands and fingers especially show these signs as will other extremities such as toes and lips. A lack of oxygen in the blood can also have a purplish appearance where the skin surface is red from sun exposure but the blood beneath the skin is blue. Red and blue make purple.
If all these BLUE FLU symptoms were temporary, most everyone suffering from them would eventually recover as the blood becomes increasingly oxygenated once removed from the oxygen depletion source. Short term exposure and biological complications to gases and chemicals that starve the air and lungs from oxygen, creating cyanosis, are usually reversible. However, long term exposure is not fully reversible. Long term exposure depends on how depleted the air is of oxygen and how much time a person has been exposed to that condition.
OXYGEN DEPLETED WATER AND AIR
The same goes for oxygen levels in water. Fish, turtles, and crustaceans (shrimp and lobsters) die quickly when oxygen levels have been depleted. Dolphins and whales are mammals and they depend on surface water air to breathe their oxygen. Since May 2010, there has been an epidemic of dead fish, turtles, dolphins, sharks and whales in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The mainstream media has failed to report this truth. As someone who works closely with other animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitation services throughout the southeast, I have been told there are very few turtles or marine animals being rescued because the majority are already dead when found.
It's more than obvious that the water in the northern Gulf of Mexico is severely depleted of oxygen. This also applies to the surface air that dolphins and whales - as well as people - depend on to breathe.
In May 2010, tests done by various research vessels in the northern Gulf of Mexico showed a 30-60% decrease in oxygen levels. This was three long months ago. This surely accounts for the vast fish kills. But when you combine lethal chemicals - such as Corexit - along with oil and gas by-products from large plumes of oil hidden deep in the Gulf, the problem is yet in its initial stages. As the algae naturally attacks these chemicals, oil and gases, a further oxygen depletion occurs. It's nature's way of attempting to correct the problem. The result of that natural process is severe oxygen depletion.
STAGE TWO: THE BLUE PLAGUE
While the Blue Flu symptoms are increasing for more and more people, those who have had 30+ days of direct exposure to the toxic and oxygen depleted Gulf air and water are in immediate danger of permanent and irreversible biological damage... if not death.
How humans and animals biologically react to cyanosis depends on the severity of exposure and time of exposure. At first, the body will compensate as best it can. But sooner or later, the body is overcome and severe complications begin. Without enough oxygen, the body will begin to rot and die from the inside out. The outward signs can be numbness in extremities, swollen necks and throats, blue lips, dark purple tongues, blue or gray skin colour, and even bloodshot eyes as the body attempts to filter out the toxins. Lymph nodes and adenoids are overburdened.
But these outward signs are the result of severe inward problems. Left exposed to a lack of oxygen, the kidneys and liver will fail and shut down. Heart failure is next. It's the same as someone who has decided to commit suicide by carbon monoxide depletion of oxygen in a locked garage with their car running. They die from cyanosis, the lack of oxygen. People living and working along the northern Gulf coast will eventually die the same way if exposed to depleted oxygen levels long enough.
NO END IN SIGHT
The oil and gas from the Biloxi Dome area has not stopped flowing. It's an oil exploration well which blew out on or about February 13, 2010 so severely that it deposited the Blow Out Preventer (BOP) and the steel well casing hundreds of yards away on the ocean floor. There is nothing there to cap or abate the oil flow with. It's an open hole that is nothing less than an oil, gas and tar volcano. While a certain leaking BP well may have been capped seven miles northeast of the Biloxi Dome area, an already large underwater lake of oil at an approximate 3,000 foot depth is rapidly growing each hour. It's estimated 9 mile length in May 2010 is surely dwarfed in size now.
Don't be fooled by the lack of surface oil being reported by the mainstream media shills and BP. Corexit hides what is beneath and Corexit is more toxic than crude oil itself. The only people denying the existence of the underwater plumes are the people at BP. And they offer no evidence to contradict the extremely solid evidence provided by four universities, including LSU, of the existence of these huge underwater plumes of oil.
The BLUE PLAGUE Spreads
Just because you don't live on the Gulf coast, don't think the Blue Plague won't come your way. As more gas, oil and tar fills the Gulf of Mexico from the Biloxi Dome area, more toxins are released into the water and the air.
Evaporation, storms, and hurricanes will spread the continually increasing oil-chemical-gas toxins inland. Certain areas may experience more severe exposure than those living on the Gulf coast. In concentrated amounts, it will be as acid rain that has washed and destroyed your crops, trees or grass. It will enter streams, lakes, and underground water sources. Fish, mammals, and animals will die just as they have in and along the Gulf coast. Potable water and food will be effected. The air will be effected. The Blue Plague will grow as more airborne and cloud-filled toxins spread the Gulf oil and gas lakes beneath the surface inland.
If you don't believe this is happening now or will never happen in your home town in the future, then just keep your face buried in your HDTV screen and keep the beer flowing while you watch NASCAR races and Dr. Phil. But if you have decided the mainstream media is not telling you the truth, then wake up and smell the roses. The true health effects on humans will only begin to surface years from now and this includes proven carcinogenic cancers.
The Blue Flu may be all that most will have to endure because of the spewing oil volcano in the Gulf of Mexico, but don't bet your life on avoiding the Blue Plague.

Thousands of dead fish in Jersey. So toxic the seagulls won't even eat them. It is spreading. Are the lobsters in Maine next? Be careful eating seafood from the east coast or the gulf.

People are acting surprised that animals and fish are dying. What do the expect with all of the toxins and oil????

What really surprises me is that those people in New Jersey had no idea what could have caused the death of so many fish. What planet are they living on? No associations whatsoever...

Not first time we have seen this even when it was reported that there was oil gushing .Even walking in tar balls did'nt seem to be an issue for some .
There must be quite a blackout in the local papers in that region people in the Gulf being too afraid to loose business . And the ones that booked Holidays there from Europe would'nt know as from the beginning the press did'nt cover anything about the Gulf but the bare minimum .

More Oil Washes Up In Gulf Shores
Wed, August 11, 2010
http://www.wkrg.com/gulf_oil_spill/article/more-oil-washes-up-in-gulf-shores/912934/Aug-12-2010_12-59-am/
Pat Peterson GULF SHORES, Alabama - For the first time in more than five weeks, oil has impacted Gulf Shores. On Wednesday, massive amounts of oil and tar washed up near the pier at Gulf State Park, turning the sugar-white beaches an ugly brown. But what's even more disturbing....not one single BP clean-up or piece of beach-cleaning equipment could be found at the state park.
BP has drastically reduced its beach clean-up force because the company says they're not needed since oil has impacted local beaches in weeks. But the tropical disturbance in the Gulf churned up oil and pushed it onshore. Not one person assigned to clean-up the beach could be found for miles.

Local man who cleaned oil spill says he's sick

CUMBERLAND COUNTY (WTVD) -- A Spring Lake man who went to the Gulf of Mexico to help fight the oil spill is now fighting for some medical attention.
Jackie Roach says a Fayetteville based environmental company, Contaminated Control Incorporated, sent him to Venice, Louisiana untrained and without protective gear.
Roach says while he was there, he was accidentally sprayed with clean-up chemicals that made his leg swell like a balloon.
"The next morning, I couldn't even put my boots on because my legs were swollen overnight. I mean puffed up. And they were burning, and it was real sore and itching," Roach said. "Personally, it's affecting me a whole lot and it hurts, the fact that they turned their backs on me, and they know what happened down there."

Will BP Skip the Relief Well, Declare Mission Accomplished, and Abandon Ship Without Permanently Killing the Oil Leak?
http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2010/08/will-bp-skip-relief-well-declare.html
Yesterday, I pointed out that - while everyone is claiming that the oil well has been capped - it hasn't really been capped.
AP reported last night:
BP, U.S. mull whether to skip 'bottom kill'
***
The federal government and BP have recently raised the possibility that they won't need to perform the operation at all, since the well was plugged last month with mud and cement pumped in through the top.
(Bottom kill is, of course, just another phrase for relief wells.)
Similarly, Bloomberg writes today:
BP Plc may not finish drilling a relief well to its Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico, National Incident Commander Thad Allen said during a conference call today.
The relief well, which for months has been touted by the U.S. government as the ultimate solution to stopping the flow from Macondo -- a process known as “killing” the well -- may not be needed after all, Allen said.
Oil industry expert Robert Cavnar has a must-read piece today on the situation:
For the last several days, I've been trying to figure out what BP is doing and what is the actual condition of BP's MC252 well after their "static kill" and cementing procedure last week apparently didn't work. You'll recall that when [BP's] Kent Wells announced this procedure, he actually used the words "killed" and "dead".

The morning of July 27, officials in Jefferson Parish reported a new oil spill near Bayou Saint Denis, Louisiana. The Coast Guard claimed that a tow boat struck a well head, causing the spill, and a strip of oil 50 yards wide and a mile long was spotted near the well early in the day.
The Ocean Futures Society team was onsite within hours and reported a geyser of oil and gas spewing 25 feet into the air and raining down on the marsh.
This spill involves a well in a portion of Barataria Bay known as Mud Lake, near Bayou St. Dennis about 10 miles south of Lafitte, Louisiana.

Think about this. This second leak will allow BP to have reasonable doubt about the damage done to coast. They can now argue that this one is the cause of recent damage in this area.

No doubt they will use all they can to avoid their responsabilities .

Adm. Allen Confused - So, Now, Everybody Else is, Too
By eljefebob on August 12, 2010

For the last several days, I've been trying to figure out what BP is doing and what is the actual condition of BP's MC252 well after their "static kill" and cementing procedure last week apparently didn't work. You'll recall that when Kent Wells announced this procedure, he actually used the words "killed" and "dead". In his July 19th McBriefing, he said,
"If we can do the static kill, it might kill - might kill just in the casing, it might kill in the annulus, it might kill both but it should accelerate or at least complement improve the relief well."
Then during his July 21st McBriefing, Wells said this:
"So one thing I want to stress is the static kill in no way slows down the relief well activity. That's continuing exactly as planned. We're looking at the static kill as an option to actually accelerate the final killing of the well. Now, depending upon - because we don't know whether the flows up the casing, the annulus or both, it's difficult for me to predict what the static kill could do. But I would put it in the range of it could go from - it could kill the well all the way to it couldn't kill the well. But in either case, what I want to stress is we will continue on with the relief well and even if the static kill had killed the well, we will confirm that with the relief well or if it hadn't killed the well, then we would kill it from the bottom. So I'd like us to think of it - it's a very good option to accelerate the killing process without getting in the way of the relief well." (emphasis added)
So, the narrative building here is that the static kill was low risk, could kill the well from the top, and that it could actually speed up the relief well. I knew, from the very first moment this was mentioned, that BP would do the new top kill, rebranded as the "static kill".

The Crabs Know Where The Oil Is...
In their lungs...
via WLOX
http://www.wlox.com/Global/story.asp?S=12978563
HANCOCK COUNTY, MS (WLOX) - Reports of tar balls and fish kills kept leaders at the Hancock County Emergency Operations Center busy Friday morning.
Hundreds of tar balls and patties washed up on the beach near Lakeshore Road overnight.
"They range from anywhere from a quarter inch, looks like, to a couple of inches," EOC Director Brian Adam said, pointing to the oil debris. "Of course this one here is a little bit bigger."
Residents who reported the tar ball clusters want to know why no one was out cleaning up the mess, and why they haven't seen cleanup crews on the beach lately.
"The last two days we have not done any beach cleanup. That will resume tomorrow night, weather permitting," said Melvin Castillo, BP's Hancock County Branch Director.
Castillo said crews and equipment were de-mobilized during the recent tropical weather threat, but are now in the process of re-mobilizing.
"We still have the same amount of people, 55. We'll put the same amount of people out there and, if need be, we can ramp that up and double the task force."
While on the beach surveying the tar balls, Adam received a call about an unusual occurrence just down the road at Bordage's Marina.
"If you walk along the pier, you'll see small dead fish. You've got some speckled trout that's dead through here. All the crabs are crawling up on the bank and I just kind of wonder why," Adam said.
A fisherman who didn't want to be identified said he knows why.
"Something is killing them. It wasn't killing them before this oil got here. And now they're dying everywhere."
Adam and a representative from the DEQ bagged some of the dead fish and the crabs for testing. They hope to know what caused the crab and fish kill within a few days.
