BP oil spill

ok lets start with the BP oil spill now as we all kno this is one of the worst environmental disasters in history with millions upon millions of gallons of crude spewing into the gulf of mexico now lets take a look into what BP did and did not to....first off what is BP? it stands for british petrol....and they are one of the biggest crude oil companys in the world.....they got that a-rab money man.....anyways some major players in BP you shhould kno about are...
carl-henrich savenburg-chairman
byron grote-chief financial advisor
robert dudley-CEO

not those three fellows have almost all the power with various underlings doing thier dirty work one intresting thing is that rober dudley the CEO sold almost 1/3 of his stock 2 weeks before the spill....why would the CEO of a company sell 1/3 of his own shares???? makes no sense to me....now moving on a little bit we all kno dick cheny who was VP under george dubya bush....anyways whats more inportend about dick in this case is his ownership of the company halliburton wich is the worlds largest offshore oil service company wich grossed 18.279 billion in 08 and employs over 50,000 people worldwide. now just a mere two days before the spill halliburton bought the USA'a biggest oil spill cleanup company for hundreds of millions of dollars....now why would they do that?  the whole im saying is BP makes more prfot off a spill then they do off pure crude. and not to mention the rig that blew up was wwwaaaayyyyyy behind on service and it was well known it was fualty plus on almost every other major oil rig in the world there is a safetey device that can bypass the oil comeing up and due to BP lobbyist in washington they dont have to have one of those in there US operations. now i could carry on about this whole planned spill tons but whats done is done and the point being the way the handled the clean up is more dangerious than the whole damn spill......the chemical agent they used to break up the crude is called COREXIT wich is a toxic chemical used in alot of oil cleanup however the BP oil spill use dmore gallons of it then any other time in the world...theres two styles of COREXIT formula 9527 and 9500 ...9500 is the worst it was use din the exxon valdez oil spill and was shown to According to the Alaska Community Action on Toxics, the use of Corexit during the Exxon Valdez oil spill caused people "respiratory, nervous system, liver, kidney and blood disorders" and both formulas are found to  cuase hemolyosis  (rupture of blood cells) and may also cause internal bleeding and heres some more A newer Corexit recipe dubbed the "9500 formula" containsdioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, a detergent chemical that's also found in laxatives. What do you suppose happens to the marine ecosystem when fish and sea turtles ingest this chemical through their gills...and more importantly, what do you think happens to the human beings who are working around this chemical, breathing in its fumes and touching it with their skin? thats just one of the cehmicals there was also found ot be aresnic in it as well the rest of the chemicals is your guess they amkers of it wont release a full list claiming to be a "trade secret" so thats all im guna ramble about u think what u want
