LKL Tonight! 'Deadliest Catch' Captains from New Orleans on oil spill

Day 51 and Obana never talked to BP . BP is on our soil. So does BP have to listen totLarry King, Fox news, etc.to know what Obama is saying. I want to know youyou what people as journalist think about out President and his lack of concrn. Maybe all thiscould h ave been advoided if BP and Obama got together.

They should be working together- why are they not working together – are they considered terrorist?????????????

Right and no commercial seafood producer in Alaska after the Exxon Valdez dumped 11 Million poisonous toxic carcinogenic gallons of crude Oil into that sound SOLD contaminated seafood to a unsuspecting consumer?

Get real, of course they did. Between the choice of bankruptcy and selling contaminated seafood, they CHOOSE TO SELL CONTAMINATED SEAFOOD.

ALL seafood is quickly becoming filled with poisonous toxins and it won't be decades from now that eating seafood is entirely unhealthy to consume. Of course the Republican lawmakers and Seafood Corporate PR spin will debate that for years and years as it's consumers munch on Mercury, Cadmium, Lead and a wide range of pesticides, toxic Petrol-Chemicals and a boat load of Rx drugs which are dumped into the Ocean and Rivers across America.

Larry King, Captain Keith Colburn is no chemist nor scientist but how does he feel about the 'possibility' of the seafood he is catching is composed of poisonous amounts of Mercury, Lead, Cadmium and other toxins which poisons children and individuals that eat them?

Does he shrug or simply shake his head? That's business in America, is that his reply?

I want to see Sara Pallan in a haz-mat suit cleaning the oil her "Drill-Baby-Drill" campaign caused.

CLEAN- BABY-CLEAN !!!!!

Hi

Do you know what happened to the barrels of oil spill collected along the shores.
Can it be used again?
I think if it happens in poor countries,, the people will be collecting it for their own fuel consumption.

@Phil,
You will never be able to see that, as she will be drilling closer to shore so will not be involved in such an accident.

Will the captains and Mike Rowe be making any public appearances during their stay in new orleans?

I find it strange it is taking President Obama so long to firmly address this BP issue and take action. Don't you? This is a disaster.

I have a legal question- Is it true that the main reason this oil well has not been capped so far is that if BP did, they would loose all legal rights to the well, so they would rather the leak continue while they figure out a way to capture the oil, than quickly cap the well in the first few days minimizing the enviromental disaster but loosing the financial upside to collecting the oil. ie. is this disaster factored into their risk/return financial model, where their lawyers and accountants factor in the cost of claims vs. their return on this well?

When our government fully recognizes that US manning laws are being lobbied out the back door with the "dont ask dont tell" policies of USCG disasters such as this will continue. US labor is being put in the back seat of these foreign carpetbaggers who try to cut every corner to make a profit and leave US workers the crumbs and the cleanup... US oil should be overseen by US labor and MANAGEMENT, period... How can you say they have recovered 2.4 million barrels and say there are only 20-25000 barrels a day spewing out? 2.4 million/51 days = 47K + Whose behind this PR crap? You can say its BP but where is our congressional oversight? WHO were the lobbyists, Senate and Congresspersons who go to bat for BP In Washington... They should all be indicted for murder, 11 counts +

Geri, I find it strange too. I lived in Gulf Shores Alabama and I have a love for the ocean. This is truely a sickening disaster.

Hello Mr King,
I just want to say a short message to all the captains that are down in New Orlean from the deadliest catch, they are great peoples, we loved their show, we also miss Phil. We think captain Sig is a great man a beautiful person. Jonaton, spoke greatly about the mess in
New Orleans and all are wonderful, I do not know if this message will get to you, I sure hope so.
thank so much for caring
I love New Orleans the french quater and all
peoples down there are so nice and friendly.
thank you
Jeannine Grannis

CONTROLLING THE OIL

The oil flow video shows a bolted flange connection just below the open pipe. If the robots can deal with the bolts, it could be unbolted and a flanged valve bolted to the bottom flange. The valve would have to be full open while being installed, then could be closed to control the flow, once installed.

"BP has said it will pay for the clean-up and direct damages to those affected by the spill, such as fisherman. But the source said the moratorium was a government decision, and so the costs related to it were a different matter."-Reuters The king of PR hit another one out of the park.

Drill Baby Drill!!!! Now where did i hear that?????

Time to roll the dice for President Obama, call in as much perceived equipment as the Gulf States are urging and needing, send BP the bill and fight in the nations corrupt courts over who pays the costs, BP or the American taxpayers.

American Taxpayers have spent hundreds of Billions of taxpayer dollars to provide the US Navy state of the art Ocean technology and the ships and vessels to TRACK and help deal with the undersea plumes of doom drifting across the Gulf of Mexico.

American Taxpayers do not deserve having the US Coast Guard running their boats over private citizens Oil booms in the Gulf Coastal waters. It is utterly disgusting to hear the US Coast Guard cutters are repeatedly destroying private Oil booms by purposefully smashing into them with their American taxpayer paid ship!

American Taxpayers paid ten's of Billions of taxpayer dollars for high tech Recon Spy Satellites which can see and image the deep water Oil plumes of death as they drift across the Gulf of Mexico. American citizens deserve to see and have those photos available, we paid for that technology damn it!

Hail Jesse Ventura, he slayed Connie Mack.. Its about time that stuffed shirt got stood up. Thanks Jesse you are a true American Hero

@ Idzan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Normally anything salvaged in international waters is the owner that salvaged it.

The US Govt. has already screwed the family's of the dead Oil well crew members by an ancient naval law regarding a callous and gross limit on personal liability claims for the family's and survivors. The US Govt. can't have it both ways, claim international waters laws and then refuse to honor that in regards to those that salvage the Oil.

The Mercado Oil field 'crude oil' was analyzed early on by the University of Louisiana Physical Sciences Dept. and found to contain 50% ASPHALT. Much of the crude oil is trash and likely the sole reason why the Mercado Oil field wasn't drained earlier. It's not BP's repeated PR claim of 'light Louisiana crude'. The crap you see floating on shore is like thick sludge, bottom of the barrel stuff after the volatile petrol-chemicals have evaporated. Really creative crafts persons could convert that goop into paraffin wax for candles.

The poor and indigenous people living among the marshes of Louisiana SHOULD start selling 'Pet Tar Balls' harvested from this enormous crude Oil spill. Help people realize how toxic and poisonous crude Oil is and finally get Big Oil to pay them for all the land and Oil leases they were ripped off for the past 100 years.

Jonathon Hilstrand was dead on when he said it is time for the govt. to come in and take over. He was only saying what so many, myself included, are already thinking. And put some of the CEO's behind this behind BARS.

You know it gets into my nerves seeing the oil sprouting off the pipeline daily. I want to know what the Shell CEO would have to say if asked for his opinion because it could have happened to them as well.

OBAMA SHOULD NOT MEET WITH B.P. CEO HE SHOULD JUST PUT A FREEZE ON THIER BILLONS OF DOLLARS ,AND START PAYING THESE GREAT PEOPLE ON THE COAST WHOS LIVES HAVEBEEN CHANGED FOREVER .AND AS FAR AS JESSE IS CONCERENED .HE IS AN AMERICAN HERO. BUT WHATEVER KIND OF DOPE HE WAS SMOKING SURE HAD HIM WASTED.HE KEPT CALLING MACK GOVENOR,AND TO EVEN BE IN THE SAME STATE AS OLIVER STONED WAKE UP JESSE ,IF U AND STONE LOVE HUGO BOZO SO MUCH MOVE DOWN THERE AND STAY OUT OF AMERICA. AND SOMEONE TELL STONED THE WARMONGER BUSH IS NOT THE PRESIDENT ANYMORE

HEY SMITH IN OREGON GO CHECK YOURSELF IN TO A GOOD REHAB AS LONG AS U KEEP BURNING THE FUEL WE WILLKEEP ON DRILLING .AND HOPEFULY THEY START OUT THERE IN OREGON DRILL DRILL DRILL DRILL.LET OPEC STICK THERE OIL

Connie Mack,
Nice job holding your own against a bully.

Other than that they wouldnt be more than drinkin, smoked out smelly fisherman.........

Its amazing what a little lucj can do for you!

there will be no seafood left to sell with contamination.

Mr Pickens, is BP better off now than they were before the cap was put on. If your answer , I am sure is yes, then they are making money. This is the truth.
