Profits over people needs to stop. The world has enough to feed, clothe and house everyone, yet a few sociopaths are willing to let it all burn.
The survivors guilt is so deep, it's like the depth of the rig itself, having absolutely no business being there in the first place. The ones who were culpable do not feel it - that's what's so utterly frustrating. It's the men who take pride in the responsibility of safety they owe their crew, their men, that feel that eternal loss and pain. So tragic.
New Orleans was given plenty of warnings, time to evaluate. The men who died on the rig never had a chance.
Brings back painful memories but glad nobody has forgotten.
I don't like corporate companies what civil men and women endure. Their families, friends and survivors suffer for the lost loved ones to understand what happened Beyond any pain 😢😢😢😢😢 for all Love from ❤ Me Doris 😢❤
They can do all they want, or can afford. Don't matter. Sooner or later the sea will reclaim new Orleans.
Since the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe, we have never spent a penny at BP!
nice documentary so amazed wow shoutout from Philippines
It's the worst disaster I've ever witnessed. Nothing could compare to this tragedy. Puts that whole "drill baby drill" thing into a much darker perspective I guess.
Since this disaster, I will not eat seafood from the Gulf. Thank you BP.
Got to say that this was a well done documentary. I didnt find it to be hyped as a commentor has proclaimed
Obama, typical slick politician, just came down on BP for political points. The owner of the rig should be at least as responsible. It was under Obama that the safety regulators had too cozy a relationship with BP. If that had happened under Trump admin, we all know the environmentalists would be blaming him personally.
Time stamps would be appreciated!
I volunteered for my first disaster relief mission the day before my 21st birthday. Next thing I knew, while I was celebrating my birthday, Katrina hit. I woke up to a flooded city and a seat on a school bus heading to NOLA from North Louisiana the very next day. Fast forward and I ended up serving as the VP of Cajun Navy Supply (The supply supplies and humanitarian aid branch) 11 years later after working within the Cajun Navy groups prior doing everything from dispatch to S&R to logistics. The origin of the Cajun Navy is wilder, more heartbreaking and more uplifting than any photos, videos or documentaries can explain. There is a level of pride in what CN has done and a level of pain in what we couldn't do that lives with all of us who were there and stayed for the next 20 years. Katrina was the start but it wasn't the end. A lot of those people you see in the original armada are still out here responding to hurricanes to this day.
I remember smelling the oil smell in the air for a month or so in Slidell, La
Word for the day is “annihilate”
Rebuilding an entire city that sits below sea level is the equivalent of building it inside the mouth of an active volcano. It doesn't matter how old and beloved the city itself is, the purpose of a city is to house people, and people can still be people and rebuild the same city just a few miles further inland, where the constant threat of death and destruction via hurricanes is no longer at their doorsteps. Really, when does the financial cost of rebuilding levies' and other hurricane defenses become too much? It's very concerning to know that we will forever be forced to rescue tens of thousands of people over and over again from the same place and for the same reason, just because they refuse to face the realities of their geographical location. Why can't New Orleans still be New Orleans if it's just a little bit further inland? Over 1500 people died and many thousands more never recovered from Hurricane Katrina, and I feel like their loss has been disregarded, along with the lessons not learned by their sacrifice, by believing that simply building higher levies is the answer to the problem of living below sea level. No matter what, the sea will always win and we're just gonna have to move our little settlement to higher ground if we don't want to be swallowed up along with every other low-lying edges of land in just a few decades from now.
There’s 42 gallons in a barrel of oil and oil is always quoted in barrels except when there is a documentary in need of more drama
Maybe people should listen. Katrina they could leave just chose to stay. Before all the rude comments. My family went through Rita. We were the last people to leave Camron LA. So yes we know what it's like to go through a hurricane
2:22 The government?? Where in the world did this remark come from. Makes the whole "documentary" look suspiciously political.
