An image provided by Carmi, Ill.-based Elastec/American Marine shows an oil burn being conducted in one of its patented Hydro-Fire Boom systems. The inflatable, fire-resistant, water-cooled boom was developed to contain surface oil and burn it offshore, helping prevent destruction of critical environmentally sensitive shoreline habitats, company officials said.

As a nation we pay serious money for agency’s that spend years and billions to plan for disasters, and the execution is zip. That is what needs to be investigated.

Color me stupid, but is this the SAME rig that had 11 DIE on it?? I NEVER hear about the 11 DEAD PEOPLE....why??

[panthermom]

I also remember in the very beginning them talking about doing burns and never heard about them again. Certainly no pics of the burns from satellite. It seemed like a reasonable response, what happened?

[Jazz1968]

They have not acted because they want this to be the biggest eco disaster this country has ever seen(in their eyes) so they can then have the media propaganda to have the public hate the oil companies more than ever.
With that public hate they will take over the oil companies and be well on their way to completing their ruin of this country.

Pretty simple really!

Didn't Bush used them to fix the levee leaks /S

I mean it was Bush and Cheney's weather machine that aimed Katrina at those black people he hates.

So who is to blame for not having executed the government's own 1994 plan to store containment booms at strategic spots?

Obviously Bush.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Haliburton/Cheney/Bush’s fault.

umm, ummm, ummm
Barack Hussein Obama...

[Mike Darancette]

Clinton, the gift that keeps on giving.

This is the critical piece in tghis report

“”They said this was the tool of last resort. No, this is absolutely the asset of first use. Get in there and start burning oil before the spill gets out of hand,” Bohleber said. “If they had six or seven of these systems in place when this happened and got out there and started burning, it would have significantly lessened the amount of oil that got loose.”

When i first heard this statement from the feds of burning being last resort I found that odd. These people must be made to explain why burning wasn’t conducted sooner

“
The problem: The federal government did not have a single fire boom on hand.
“

Our tax dollars NOT at work.
Instead they funded some ongoing criminal enterprise like ACORN.
