Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA

If it was going to affect my health or my livelihood I would have no problem with moving. But then I have no problem with taking away boarders and allowing everyone to travel and work wherever they want. I would love to see Iraqi’s, Palestinians, Mexicans Polish or anyone else have the opportunity to live wherever they want. I think it would make the world a lot more interesting.

^^^^i dont like that story.
another inteview that disturbed me was with a havard physist on nbc. he said that the chances of them getting those relief wells drilled in the correct location is like you or I winning the lottery. He sugested it could take months if not years of trying until they tap it in the correct spot.

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA

Bhopal happened over 25 years ago and is still on going today Sounds to me like you are trying to say Pearl Harbour was a bigger tragedy than the holocaust. The aftermath of the Bhopal disaster has been going on for over 25 years with deformed children and cancer. The only reason this hasn’t been staring people in the face is because people don’t want to look! Out of interest how may funkykama’s is a Florida Orange worth?

unfortunately for BP this disaster has been ongoing now for over a month, giving way to a viral internet campaign and a uniting of not only those living on the Southeast Coastal region of the US but those living all over the country and world. This has put pressure on the powers that be as well as not given the powers that be time to hide from what has transpired. This is still on-going and staring the world in its face.

For the reasons mentioned, this is different than the incidents that you are referring to. I'm not saying this is worse, I'm saying that this is different, and for different reasons, BP is being held responsible, like it or not.

^seriously Chunky? what are you talking about? why do you always compare the past with the present? Things do change, ya know?

The Bhopal compensation was only paid out in 1999. It’s not that far in the past and the USA is still harboring Warren Anderson. 14 years for compensation. I’m guessing the 9/11 compensation will get paid out in 2016

No they should get the same. If both parties lost their livelihood it doesn’t matter the level of the contamination, just the fact it was contaminated. It’s not like the Alaskan’s are still going to be able to work because the size of the spill was less. But when you compare that to Bhopal where 3,787 people where killed and another 8,000 died in the weeks following the disaster and the thousands are still living with the effects (Cancer/Deformed Children) it’s a whole different story. Are these people worth less because they live in a poorer country?

I suppose people could argue about the effect on wildlife in the Gulf but then no one ever complains about the wildlife that was killed in Bhopal or on 9/11 for that matter

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA

and this is at least 10 times bigger then Exxon.. So you are advocating $80,000 per person then? That would be good money to relocate wouldn't it. I mean the entire Gulf is a toxic waste dump now.

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA

Pay Nothing? You are joking right? You must be.

No the victims of Bhopal got $580 each. These people have cancer and deformed children, if a chemical disaster is worth $580 a bit of dirty water isn't worth anything. The final Exxon pay out $8,000 per person.
