Please tell me what you had to do to survive the Ixtoc Well blow out in the Bay of Campeche of the Gulf of Mexico in June of 1979? It blew an estimated 30,000 barrels per day for the better part of 6 months.
the Ixtoc was drilled down about 160 feet, a far cry from 5,000. There was also some controversy over the sea bed where the Deepwater Horizon drilled. I am not sure if there were the same concerns over the Ixtoc.
All I’m saying is that there are other issues at play here that weren’t there with the Ixtoc blew. I live on the Gulf - Clearwater, FL area. I am not one for conspiracy theories but I can tell you right now that the Coast Guard operating out of the St. Pete/Clearwater airport has been busier today than normal, flying over my house about every 20 minutes. There are few birds and I have not seen one squirrel today. I’m one to keep my eye on the environment and if the animals start to scatter, so will I. Something is not right. I feel it in my gut. This transparent administration is far from transparent and we know we are not getting the proper info from the media.
I know that there are a lot of folks, especially at The Oil Drum who are doing what they can to alleviate people’s fears. Quite frankly, we don’t know what’s out there. I’m watching it very closely. All I know is that I don’t like the lack of birds this morning. Anyone else in the St. Pete/Clearwater/Largo area notice the same ‘anomoly’?
I do not want to be afraid; that’s why I’m getting informed. It’s just the information we are getting is inconclusive, if we are getting correct information at all. As a Gulf coast Floridian, I’m more than a bit nervous. I’ll trust my gut any day over media releases and our government.

If you’re not familiar with the methane gas and toxins at the site of this deepwater well, there’s no need to continue this discussion because you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
To say that these two are the same is ignorant. Sorry but that’s just the truth.
