You probably don’t want to watch these oil spill pictures with your children. This video contains very graphic oil spill images showing the effects of the Gulf oil spill on wildlife of the area. Associated Press photographers have combined their oil spill images into this video that shows exactly what is happening to the birds of the Gulf. Here’s the oil spill video:

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.

60 minutes had some compelling reporting last night about the Deepwater Horizon explosion and the Gulf oil spill. Among other things, they interviewed BP employee Mike Williams, Chief Electronics Technician aboard the Deepwater Horizon. Williams said a pod that operated the blowout protector was not operating properly before the explosion on the oil rig. Williams also said that before the explosion someone discovered chunks of rubber in the drilling fluid and reported it to a supervisor. Apparently someone had drilled through a seal. Williams asked the supervisor if this was out of the ordinary and the supervisor said “No big deal.” Williams said he thought, “How could it not be a big deal? There’s chunks of our seal now missing.” Here is last night’s 60 Minutes episode:
Today, Fox News interviewed Doug Suttles, BP’s Chief Operating Officer. Although Suttles tried to put a positive spin on it, he revealed that the giant straw that the company has inserted into the well is siphoning off only about 1,000 barrels of oil per day. Here’s the video:
