Oil Spill Video June 4, 2010:
We have the oil spill videos BP doesn’t want you to see – Images of animals coated with oil from the BP oil leak are beginning to appear, and they show the heartbreaking consequences of BP’s gushing leak in the Gulf. These pictures are coming out in spite of a concerted effort by British Petroleum to prevent such images from reaching the American public. You might call these the “forbidden oil spill videos.” Anderson Cooper released the following video of birds soaked in oil:
The Associated Press released another video of Gulf Coast birds soaked in oil, and it shows what words cannot convey. Watching it makes it clear why British Petroleum was doing everything in its power to keep the media away from the shoreline and the site of the oil spill. A videographer who works for BPOilNews.com was prevented from filming weeks ago by BP security personnel in Venice, Louisiana. Mother Jones has reported that it was barred from taking photographs of dead animals. But slowly, images of oil-soaked birds and dead animals are beginning to leak through the BP wall, and they show Americans what British Petroleum so badly doesn’t want us to see. The statistics on dead animals is already alarming: 444 dead birds, 222 dead sea turtles, and 24 mammals (including dolphins).
Here’s an Associated Press oil spill video of Gulf Coast birds soaked in oil.
