A dying, oil-covered baby dolphin is taken from Pensacola waters. It died shortly after being discovered.



Youtube video bypcolagreggof bubbling ocean water at Pensacola

"...See the water bubbling. I've never seen anything like it in the gulf. There's definitely something in it that's causing it to do this.



God only knows what's in the water that's making it bubble like it's got acid in it. God help us all. "

20. What is about to unfold is the awakening of the masses
The millions of people that never paid much attention to the biosphere are now waking up to the fact that they "Missed Out" on experiencing nature when it was reasonably healthy, and are now doomed to look upon millions of acres of diseased and dying ocean.

I hate to say it, but the Movie Soylent Green still is as scary today as when it was released. In fact, it is scarier today because the warnings contained within it are generally true about the biosphere dying.

Yes, I'm going home....

Gee Gads, are Americans that stupid?

25. ...
Gag order. The original dolphins that washed up right after the explosion were supposed to have autopsy results over a month ago...They've even removed references to her crying from the few articles that have come out.

26. I agree, it should have been on the news days ago


I posted about oily rain about 2 wks. ago.

and that 'boiling' is so scary it should be on every television

when I see the video I think 'hope this guy washed his feet and legs real good when he got home.'

9. The water is bubbling b/c the waves breaking traps air under the
water and it has to break through the layer of oil on top causing the bubbles.

12. God I hope so.
I hope we collectively rise up against everything that corporations and our government are doing to destroy all of us. I want to see a massive movement. I want to see us start cutting off the money supply that feeds these parasites.

19. ya, right, don't we wish. Dick Cheney could analy rape the children of the american people and the
american people would go to the store to buy him some KY and a porn mag right before they apologise for blocking his shot gun with their face.

RISE up... yea right, in this police state, Good Luck.

14. great question
it's amazing to me that ALL of the beaches along the GOM are not up to their eyeballs in high tech booms and whatever it takes to protect the coast line. BP doesn't give a shit and out govt. is letting them do whtever the f*** they want.

15. If you want to know what is in crude oil
Google its MSDS -- Material Safety Data Sheet.

Here is a link to one for a sweet crude

http://www.martinmarietta.com/products/MSDS-CrudeOil.pdf

Lots of information on the chemical make-up and the hazards.

For example:

SKIN ABSORPTION: Liquid may be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large amounts of skin are exposed
repeatedly. There have been rare occurrences of precancerous warts on the forearm, back of hands and
scrotum from chronic prolonged contact.
INGESTION: The major threat of ingestion occurs from the aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs,
particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), severe
lung damage, respiratory failure, and death. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances including
irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In severe cases, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness,
coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur.
INHALATION: May cause respiratory and nasal irritation. Central nervous system effects may include headache,
dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Skin disorders, respiratory conditions, liver or kidney dysfunction, male reproductive and peripheral nerve disorders.

Same link.

21. I can't watch the video. It's just too heartbreaking.
These poor animals have no where to go to escape this horror. And to think the judge has lifted the moratorium. What is wrong with people?

23. One of the most beautiful beaches in the world - gone.
For all of the horror these pictures bring, I fear that this is merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
The insanely enormous amounts of toxic substances released into the Gulf may indeed ultimately render the Gulf a toxic site similar to Love Canal on a much, much grander scale. I don't think that this is an exaggeration.
We really don't know what will become of all this but clearly it's not just going to be "cleaned up" and pass away - it can't be.
We also understand little about the interrelationship of oceans and aquatic life throughout the world. We'll be learning much more about that in the years to come and I'm afraid it will be a hard lesson for all of us.
We just seem to be spinning out of control in so many ways.

24. Thank you kpete for all you are doing and have always done


and thank you from those of us on dialup for posting pictures.

Transcripts and a shot or two from videos helps us know what's going on too.


At sweat lodge this week, an elder said we should begin to pour love into the Gulf, because so many are pouring negative thoughts out there, but it is so damned hard not to be filled with hate for BP and Cheney and the whole lot of bloated uber-wealthy who can never have enough...at the expense of "the very least of these"....



:hug:

29. I posted the link to the local FOX station that showed them attempting to save the Dolphin
They said her pod was just offshore "It was very sad, it would make you cry. It was crying. There was pod of dolphins just off surf and they were jumping out of water and they were making noise," said Travis.
