I snipped out his name and marked it 'censored'! What a frightening shame that an award-winning radio journalist/newscaster is afraid to let his name be associated with this dire news. Can't say I blame him!

It's getting worse, Ann. Access to this story is becoming more and more difficult for journalists. The FAA is denying news photographers access to fly over the spill beacuse that would supposedly interfere with response efforts on the surface. How? I have no idea. News reporters & videographers trying to get video of clean-up efforts are being ordered off PUBLIC beaches under threat of ARREST! Read below and you'll see the government's latest effort to shut everyone out. The FCC wants to PRIVATIZE access to satellite data on the spill. These are the same sats NOAA uses for overflight analysis of gulf waters paid for by YOU, ME and every other American taxpayer. These are OUR sats collecting OUR data. If it switches to a privately controlled system, they can suppress all the information. Why wouldn't they want us to see the satellite images? Because I suspect the spill is much, much worse than the government & BP are telling us. Read below... June 22nd, 2010 heifetz No comments Please pass this on to colleagues and act. See details below, but basically the Federal Communications Commission is considering changing the available bandwidth that is now used by satellite receiving stations to receive satellite data directly from the satellites to a private controlled system. We and many others do not support this change. We prefer to receive the satellite data directly from the satellites. I am asking you to send your comments by June 28th. You can file your comments electronically to http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs2/ which leads you to http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=k5ye4 We want you to comment that "you would like to see no changes in the present situation. The use of these frequencies are in the critical interests of the United States for receiving satellite data for research and operations within the academic, private and government sectors. It is critical that the everyone has equal access to the satellite data directly from the satellite."

The build-up of pressure is the really scary thing. Some reports I've read says that GPS has detected a 10 foot rise in the sea floor, I'm hoping this isn't the case, but everything is starting to point to something more ominous that simply oil. The scientists say that the oil gushing is about 15 % natural gas, whereas most oil wells only contain about 2-4% natural gas. They're burning it off as best they can on the containment ship as its gushing. Natural gas is approximately 87% methane. The incredibly high pressure is the real reason they cannot cap this well. To put a stopper in it would make the whole thing explode. That's why the 'top kill' was stopped mid stream. The whole formation, which is the strata or rock that the bore well drilled into, seems to be cracking. The top kill mud starting coming out from all sorts of fissures. I think the whole well shaft has been compromised; this is the main reason BP doesn't want any other underwater robotic cameras in the area- they don't want us to know how bad this situation really is. If the pressure continues to build even tho the top cap has now been removed, the whole thing might explode like a volcano. I don't want to sound all doom & gloom, but this is a real worry. Right now the pipe is about 21 inches in diameter. If the well explodes, it would be like Mt St Helens blowing its top, but instead of molten ash in the air, it would be crude oil, rock, and poisonous methane coming up through 5,000 feet of water.. The well was drilled down through 25-30,000 feet of formation, so the explosion would be coming up from that depth. Its only 50 miles off shore of the Louisiana coast. What kind of tidal wave or tsunami would this cause?

very scary indeed. what in the world do we do now? In a message dated 6/23/2010 5:55:50 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, Ann writes:
I've read this whole article- several things jumped out at me:
1. The cap has been removed because BP detected a buildup of pressure.
2. The oil is inching closer and closer to Escambia Bay and Appalachicola.
3. They are monitoring the Tropical Wave out in the Caribbean; if it looks like a TS or Hurricane is heading into the Gulf, all oil spill cleanup and oil gathering operations will cease approximately 7 days before the storm hits- or doesn't hit.
OMG!! Heaven help the Gulf to have NO oil cleanup for 7 days or longer with no cap to stop any of the flow which is most certainly upwards of 100,000 barrels per day now that the cap has been completely removed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miami Herald Afternoon update:Gulf property sales slide further on oil fears BY CAROL ROSENBERG Cleanup workers in the Pensacola area were kept busy overnight Wednesday, clearing eight tons of oil spill waste off a Perdido Key barrier island and monitoring a trail of gunk along another coast.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's office reported the existence of a three-mile-long trail of so-called mousse, an oily slick, between the Pensacola Beach pier and Fort Pickens National Park.
It was the 65th day of the Deepwater Horizon rupture and in Tallahassee the governor's office estimated at midday that the oil plume was five miles from Pensacola -- so far, Florida's ground zero in the environmental disaster.
In Washington, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen reported at a midday briefing that BP had captured nearly 28,000 barrels of oil at the spill site on Tuesday.
It was a record high in the collection of leaking oil, into two drill ships deployed to replace the blown out rig.
Unfortunately, he said, a cap over the gushing well that had been collecting oil was disconnected after workers worried they had detected a dangerous buildup of pressure in a line feeding one of the drill ships, the Discover Enterprise. Allen was unable to say for how long the cap would remain disconnected or how much oil again flowed unrestrained into the Gulf of Mexico.
In Escambia County, the fallout of the spill became more and more evident.
``There were over eight tons of product cleaned off Johnson Beach off Perdido Key last night,'' reported Kelly Cooke, a county public information officer. ``It's getting busier.''
In addition, the county spotted several solid masses of 8-by-10-foot weathered oil waste in the Pensacola Pass. It was contained, Cooke said, and a skimmer was on site.
Even as coastal protection measures have edged ever eastward as far as oyster-rich Apalachicola, the Panhandle's western-most county, Escambia, which abuts Alabama.
Crist took a Blackhawk helicopter ride over the Panhandle coast then walked a Pensacola Beach to discover not tar balls but pools of sticky goo. He was greeted by dozens of cleanup workers in hazmat suits and declared himself heartened to see skimmers offshore.
``It's pretty ugly. There's no question about it,'' Crist said. ``We don't want to take `the sky is falling' attitude about this. We want to clean it up and stay after it and stay after it and we will.'' Also Wednesday:
• BP announced it had set up a new entity to be led by a native of Mississippi, Bob Dudley. It is called the Coastal Restoration Organization, with Dudley as president and chief executive officer. His mandate is to lead ``the company's long-term response to the Deepwater Horizon incident and the MC252 oil and gas spill,'' a news release said.
• Allen said two workers associated with the cleanup had died overnight -- one in a swimming accident; the other was an operator of a so-called ``vessel of opportunity,'' the term for a private ship hired by BP for the cleanup effort.
• A Maryland Democrat, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, called on President Barack Obama on Wednesday to hold a summit with East Coast governors and local officials to plan for the oil spill impact on the Atlantic coastline, should the waste enter the Gulf's loop current, go around the tip of Florida and up the coast.
• Forecasters were watching a tropical wave in the central Caribbean to see if a hurricane might form. Were a hurricane to aim at the Gulf of Mexico, Allen has said, both gushing and contaminated oil collection would stop as workers and vessels would head to port, in some instances seven days in advance.
Tallahassee bureau chief Mary Ellen Klas contributed to this report from Pensacola.
