This man took pictures of BP using Corexit (disperants) in an irresponsible and dangerous manner and took pictures to warn management of what was happening in Louisanna. Because he documented the crime with photos and reported it to BP headquarters, he was fired.

He's a military vetern and would not be quiet because he says his loyality is to our country, not to BP. Some will claim he is only talking like this to get even with BP for firing him, but that is not true. He got fired for speaking about this and documenting it on film.

This incident is short on details but this might have to do with unpublished reports from residents who have caught BP spraying corexit at night over people's houses which is very dangerous to human health and life.

This report also answers questions people have who claim they never hear about any of this in the news.

Looks like it will be a series of interviews. The first video interview is at the link.

Why would they do that? The oil is in the ocean or on the beach.

It's also in the bays and estuaries. People live along those areas.

The article has so few details that it is hard to gauge the credibility of the story. I doesn't really sound like he really knows if the pictures showed the use of the dispersal agent or not. His story is that he had suspicions, he took pictures, he passed those pictures up the chain, and he got fired.

That's one side of a story that is lacking in details. I have no reason to believe he is lying, and his service to our country does earn him some benefit of the doubt. However, even if he is telling the truth, it doesn't mean he was right. I'd like more details, and if possible some independent verification of his claims. If they sprayed the stuff over people's houses, wouldn't there be some evidence of that?

I agree with what you said on the limited details of that interview. They are going to do follow-up interviews and I will try to remember to keep up and post them.

I can only guess why they are spraying over houses since BP and the Administration ddoes not talk and no reporters ask.

Maybe the spraying subcontractors for BP were not being careful or maybe they were spraying oil laden canals and wet lands? At any rate, the people who live there are livid about it. Doesn’t do much good. BP only cares about covering their butts at this point.
