The pipe isn't on the sea floor, it's actually a good ways away from it. I tried to find an illustration of it, but to no avail. For the color of the oil, it's a light crude oil, not a heavy crude like the exxon spill. This stuff is light and more of a cooking oil color. This is why it's coating the sea floor and not just rising to the top. There is also mud, and gas mixed in to boot.

Looks like health issues are beginning to escape the apparent blackout...

When I first read these, well, I thought yet more whackos on the net. But then I saw the sources, and now it gives me some pause. What the hell is going on?

Second it might give a clue as to the suspension of oil below the surface .

Although the MSDS sheet in itself does not consider the dispersant to be serious health issue there are a couple of concerns .Never has this product been used in such bulk .What happens when the oil/dispersant mix becomes an airborne vapor under storm conditions .

Thanks again for the info.

This video is about health concerns from the oil spill. Maybe it's just my ears playing tricks on me, but does the reporter REALLY say that "Those who have the higher risk of getting KILLED...." at the 1:40 time point?

I think she said "higher risk of getting TILT"....a reference she used at the beginning of the broadcast, whatever that means.
