Tuesday, April 20, 2010   -In the evening, an explosion occurred on the DeepWater Horizon oil rig. Out of the 126 people aboard the rig, 17 people were injured and 11 are presumed dead. The rig, located 41 miles off the coast of Louisiana, was leased by BP from Transocean Ltd. There was no mention of any possible spill. President Obama was alerted.

Friday, April 23, 2010   -On Good Morning America, Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry said, "No oil appeared to be leaking from the wellhead at the ocean floor, nor was any leaking at the water's surface. That being said, we have positioned resources to be ready to respond should a spill occur... We will continue to monitor 24/7 for the next several days." The rig was found sunken and upside down approximately one quarter mile northwest of the blowout preventer.  An oil sheen was reported with approximately 8,400 gallons estimated on the water, although no apparent leak was discovered. The Coast guard called off the search for the 11 missing workers.

Saturday, April 24, 2010   -US Coast Guard held a press conference where they announced for the first time that oil was leaking. "About 1,000 barrels a day are emanating from the wellhead into the water," and "this has the potential to be a major spill," Mary Landry said. One leak was located on the riser and another on the drill pipe. US Coast Guard elevated response.  Flyovers indicated that there was a different oil sheen than the one immediately following the explosion, according to the Coast Guard.

I have not bought gas from BP for 6 years now or Mobil for that matter because of careless greed. I like how the Coast Guard and Big oil work so close together to skew the facts only taking four days to decide that millions of gallons of oil are leaking into the gulf and the shut off that could stop oil leaking didn't work, its like someone payed off the coast guard with oil friendly jobs. Higher Education has taught to play along to get along, no matter the cost!
