BP's (NYSE:BP) Hayward Denies Oil Plumes Exist

BP (NYSE:BP) has said many things, Tony Hayward is now saying that the oil plumes don't exist, but scientist are saying they do. This seems to just be another attempt by BP to try and not take responsibility for their actions.

Scientist say there are several deadly oil plumes that have been spotted in the Gulf of Mexico. According to the scientists, they were created by the combination of the oil, gas, and chemical dispersants unleashed into the Gulf. The plumes create what's called dead zones where there is no oxygen and nothing can survive in or around them.

There is one oil plume only 35 miles from Florida's shore in the Panhandle. There is another plume 22 miles long and 6 feet wide that reaches to a depth of 3,300 lingering in the Gulf. As well as also the first plume to be discovered that is 10 miles long, 3 miles wide, and 300 feet deep. Other plumes remain in deeper waters.

What BP is trying to prove by continuing to lie isn't for certain. Considering there is proof of the existence of the oil plumes caused by the worst oil spill in U.S. history.

BP (NYSE:BP) LIAR, LIAR: Florida Beaches Closed

BP (NYSE:BP) oil seems to want to keep on pretending, by saying things like there are no oil plumes, or that they'll pay off everything and everyone involved with their failure to contain the oil, or how about the fact they are eventually going to file bankruptcy. All the while, the effect of this oil has reached Florida and they are closing their beaches.

Florida has closed over 6 miles of their white sand beaches. What used to be a beautiful beach front filled with bustling tourist staying at Florida's beach resorts this time of year, are now desolate and the white sands are stained with the evidence of the ongoing environmental disaster. Not to mention the massive layoffs that are sweeping the area.

When just days ago BP officials were publicly declaring that Florida would escape the impact of oil upon their shorelines. On Wednesday they were still insisting there are no oil plumes yet the testing done by government showed there are large plumes of crude oil as far as 3,000 feet down. BP seems to be taking a stance of "lets pretend, make believe, or liar liar." Or perhaps they're simply trying to fool the public.

Ken Salazar, The Interior Secretary told U.S. Congress he now expects BP on top of everything else, to pay for canceled salaries of anyone unexpectedly without work because of the six month memorandum on deep ocean drilling.

BP's (NYSE:BP) Fuel Spill Containment Timeline Changes

Here we go again, BP (NYSE:BP) is once again changing their fuel spill containment timeline. It seems there will never be a definite, or even guess that's close to accurate, on when the hazardous oil will stop pouring onto the seabed and into the ocean.

Apparently Doug Suttles, BP's chief operating officer was overzealous in his claim that the leaking oil would be down to a "relative trickle" by next week. Now its being said that it should take much longer to get even close to that point of containing the oil. Suttles is now saying that BP is hoping that by Monday or Tuesday of next week they hope to have an improved containment system in place.

Suttles continues to maintain that no underwater oil plumes have been detected in "large concentrations" from the Gulf spill. Testing was done yesterday which would detect the presence of these underwater oil plumes and they came back positive. The testing was done at three different sites by a University of South Florida vessel at 3,300 feet below the surface and around 42 miles Northeast of the hazardous spilling well.
