Cracks Show BP Was Battling Its Gulf Well as Early as February

June 17 (Bloomberg) -- BP PLC was struggling to seal cracks in its Macondo well as far back as February, more than two months before an explosion killed 11 and spewed oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

It took 10 days to plug the first cracks, according to reports BP filed with the Minerals Management Service that were later delivered to congressional investigators. Cracks in the surrounding rock continued to complicate the drilling operation during the ensuing weeks. Left unsealed, they can allow explosive natural gas to rush up the shaft.

“Once they realized they had oil down there, all the decisions they made were designed to get that oil at the lowest cost,” said Peter Galvin of the Center for Biological Diversity, which has been working with congressional investigators probing the disaster. “It’s been a doomed voyage from the beginning.”

Confirmed--------(Gulf oil full of methane, adding new concerns)

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- It is an overlooked danger in oil spill crisis: The crude gushing from the well contains vast amounts of natural gas that could pose a serious threat to the Gulf of Mexico's fragile ecosystem.

The oil emanating from the seafloor contains about 40 percent methane, compared with about 5 percent found in typical oil deposits, said John Kessler, a Texas A&M University oceanographer who is studying the impact of methane from the spill.

That means huge quantities of methane have entered the Gulf, scientists say, potentially suffocating marine life and creating "dead zones" where oxygen is so depleted that nothing lives.

"This is the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history," Kessler said.

FWD'S: FERPRO:

What the news don't talk about : SCORES OF SUICIDE ATTEMPTS BY GULF FISHERMENS

SAD SAD SAD.

I'm devastated about the lives that will be plunged deeper and deeper into poverty.

So its not being publicized because they NEVER WANNA talk about suicide on the news, just look at the Iraq veteran suicide crisis... But there's been several suicide attempts in the general gulf area hospitals... related to their livelihoods being destroyed.

But the sad sad thing to report today from my few sources down there in the medical field saying there's been suicide attempts related to the hysteria of joblessness and no incomes. Families and businesses have been without income/revenue for 1+ months, and they're starting to get hungry. So when they go to churches and food kitchens, THEY'RE FLAT OUT BEING PASSED OVER because the food pantries are empty. They've been almost empty for the last several years because of the economy going down, so there's no food in them now. There's not enough food to give Gulf joblessness victims or even business owners now losing everything because all those related to the fishing industry have no income to go shop in their businesses...

So now we've got suicide attempts down there. From what I've heard, NO SUCCESSFUL SUICIDES AT THIS POINT.

Maybe once someone succeed at it, we'll hear about it on the news officially...but with the government-BP-news relation... I don't know for sure.

Congressman: Gulf Situation So Bad, Fishermen Tell Him They're Considering Suicide
By Susie Madrak

...Desperation is setting in in Southeast Louisiana. "I spoke to a group of fishermen, mainly Vietnamese Americans and a group of them came up to me and said, they told me that they contemplated suicide because they're in such despair," says Congressman Joseph Cao. He says fishermen are feeling compounded stress on top of post-Katrina troubles. "For some people, this is almost a boiling point where they can no longer handle it and they're going to crack."

"These are grown men that broke down and cried this morning because they don't know what to do and we don't know how long it's going to be," says Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser...
