   air an DIE !!!

8. inhumane and fucking unbelievable . disgusts me

9. There is an easy solution to this and all problems. The people need to
   protest and revolt. Can you imagine the influence of over a million people
   protesting on government response?
   You Americans are such pussies you’re afraid to protest. Plus, no one gives
   a damn if his/her neighbour is negatively affected. You’ll never go to bat
   for your neigbour. The last time you pussies revolted/protested was during
   Vietnam war when you realised the new draft system meant you would probably
   be sent to war and probable death or maimed. The My Lei massacre occurred 6
   months earlier and the American people didn’t protest the indiscriminate
   killing of women and children. Why? Because it didn’t affect you and you
   really couldn’t give a crap about other human beings. You talk a good game,
   but thats all.

10. I have been following news, politics, current affairs since the late 1980s
    e.g. I was excited by the fall of the Berlin Wall. I was anal about
    watching this documentary. I started watching about 4:00pm and finished at
    9:15pm (it is now 9:22pm). 90 minutes for dinner. I spent 03h:45m because
    of all the pausing I did to see job titles, read as much of the documents
    as I could etc. I have not verified things from other sources.

    In terms of openness by a documentary maker, Rebecca Harrell Tickell wins
    the only blue ribbon I have “awarded”. You can read the full letter
    presented between 01:22:27 and 01:22:36 – you have to pause it at the right
    moments. This is as fearless as I have seen in any documentary.

    As far as I am aware, people interviewed are legitimate and honest. That is
    my overall assessment. The next three points relay all the items from the
    documentary which, at least for me, were negatives i.e. as at this time.

    I detected a discrepancy between the gunk being wiped off the table 110
    miles inland and later saying that where President Obama swam was safe. Is
    anyone able to provide information (preferably verifiable) on how long he
    and/or his daughter were in the water?

    It is instructive to pause it at 0:37:17. This, at least to me, looks like
    a standard data sheet and, whilst they have highlighted ‘HUMAN HEALTH
    HAZARDS – ACUTE:’, there is nothing shown under this field. Keep in mind
    though that it is a document filled in by BP themselves. For whatever it
    may be worth, I would not be putting COREXIT on my skin or going anywhere
    near it.

    I have an aversion to dramatic music in documentaries. This documentary
    contained it all the way through. Good for me that I was pausing so
    frequently and took that break for dinner. Still, for me, it remains a
    negative.

    For anyone interested in learning about the Exxon-Valdez oil spill in 1989
    (which I also recall seeing at the time), ‘Black wave: the legacy of the
    Exxon Valdez’ (2008) is well worth watching. It includes a list of the
    legal actions Exxon, later ExxonMobil, took to: i. delay compensation to
    fishermen; and ii. whittle down the amount of compensation paid. The legal
    actions taken by ExxonMobil are listed by year in one minute of the
    documentary. I highlight it because I like things which are verifiable.

    By the time something was paid, 25% of the initial claimants had died, the
    Mayor of Cordova, Alaska had committed suicide, the fishing industry had
    collapsed. Everyone in Cordova was adversely affected.

    ‘Black wave’ was verified by current affairs clips around the same time on
    two Australian television broadcasts albeit they took a slightly different
    angle to the documentary makers of ‘Black wave’. ‘Black wave’ runs for 99
    minutes.

    Finally: in a financial sense, I live week to week in a town of 25,000
    people in eastern Australia. I was born and raised in Sydney and lived
    there until I was a few weeks shy of 35 years old. I am now a university
    student (for the second time) studying sustainability which, to me at
    least, makes more sense in life than what I was doing in Sydney: financial
    services. I have no more connection to ‘The big fix’ or ‘Black wave’ than
    you do i.e. as a reader of this comment.

11. Standing ovation for this. I have 18 videos on the Gulf and in most of
    them I predicted they would LIE and say they stopped the leak. The final
    videos I made I stated openly that they were lying. It was as plain as the
    nose on your face.

12. A.G.Alexander you cant expect them to do everything just providing what
    they have so full of facts and potentially life threatening I would think
    is a huge contribution toward exposing purpose and direction for others to
    take.

    But the real question is what’s actually exposed, the global atrocities
    happening all around us and precisely by who~ or the global ignorance and
    overwhelming lack of selfish lazy non involvement by a mass of people so
    big that together they could do just about any imaginable feat with little
    to no excessive prior experience or organization skills regarding the
    matter?

    Realize what BP does at that level, billions likely an overwhelming
    majority would also greed driven do as well given that opportunity!

    BP sucks no doubt but so many others as well careless unfortunately and
    until it directly hands on in face affects them, feelings are screw it!

    Sad is REALITY!

13. something needs to be done over this mess! America cannot turn a blind eye
    to this!

14. Around 101:00 they talk about provisions for renewable energy and then
    moments later talk about subsidies to oil gas coal and nuclear energy.

    That is a bit of slight of hand because it makes one think of direct cash
    payments to renewable being paid to oil and gas, rather then tax credits
    for capital spending available to all.

    Sneaky and all around BS….

15. Anyone remember the mess? 

16. Really REALLY well done video, Very educational, very informative, and Very
    well shot. Thank you for this. :)

17. Thank you for exposing BP and corporate america. I salute people like you
    sir.

18. How many others have you forced to view this documentary it could be shared
    every day on your Facebook home page and sent by link through email to
    everyone you know or dont!

    Till its mainstream and as well know at least as popular as some viral clip
    of some stupid stuff that does pop up!

    Get at it, I am!

20. If you think the big BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico of 2010 was over,
    THINK AGAIN!!! spread the word 

21. how many people must die till we march on big gov and take it back

22. These two have nothing better to do with their money. I think they need to
    find Santa Clause

23. Sell outs like Ed Overton of LSU and brown noses liars like Carol Browner
    Director of White House office of Energy and Climate Change are no better
    than BP corporate polluters John Brown, Tony Hayward, Bob Dudley and
    Carl-Hendric Svanberg who lie and provide false information about the
    negative effects of Corexit and the oil spill in the Gulf Sea to the
    American public. Monsters like Dougles J Suttles Chief Operating officer of
    BP who was obviously paid to spray Corexit in the Gulf should be held
    criminally liable for poisoning millions of people living in the effected
    areas and destroying the environment. Governor Bobby Jindal and Lobbyist
    like ex Republican Senator Trent Lott are despicable profiteers and are
    poster boys of corruption and fascism in this country using their positions
    of power and influence to insure the oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy
    industries stay extremely profitable. Obama has double crossed us all and
    has sided with Koch Industries to fleece this country at the expense of our
    environment and the public health and safety of our American citizens. Like
    the corrupt government of Japan who arrest people for speaking out against
    the Fukushima disaster and radiation poisoning of its citizens, so too is
    our own Government arresting those who speak out against BP and the oil
    spill disaster in the Gulf Sea. Power which subjugates itself to natures
    beauty survives, but that which goes against natures beauty comes to an
    early end. 

24. Documentaries like this need to have at the end of it a link to something
    or someone who can organize us to rally all media with talking points and
    active participation in rallies etc until the pressure is too much for them
    to mislead and ignore. Just a thought.

25. This video sheds light on this issue better than all the other videos I
    have seen on the Deep water Horizon fiasco. Keep up the excellent work.
    Little did I know just how deep the corruption went.

26. Every time you turn on your computer, for every hardhat the protestors
    wore, for every bit of clothing we wear, for every mile we drive, the very
    camera they used, the computers, the cell phones, the satellites, they used
    to make this documentary, the bus they used to drive to Louisiana, the
    sunglasses Pete Fonda wore, every time we turn on a lite, every fridge in
    our houses, all the food we eat and water we drink and on and on and on
    depends in one way or another on plastic and oil. Nuf said

27. shame on U LIER YOU LITTLE WHORE!

28. The oil is still out there.

29. What the human race, what all life on this planet, is up against.
    Fossil fuels… the carbon/satan connection.

    Prince of Darkness: Prince of Darkness

30. Lord have mercy on mankind…

31. “Bet you can’t get Tony Hayward to play in that water…. Voluntarily….”
    Love that gentlemen.

32. Sickening it Really is the Time to band together and force a change before
    the most beautiful things in this world are gone will start by taking
    responsibility for not doing my part and with the stroke I have with some
    very close to the players of this problem I will show them the path we
    could take cause We have to do something
