Cleaning Up BP's Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (Pollution Documentary) | Earth Stories

Beyond Pollution is a firsthand investigation of the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon oil spill that devastated thousands of miles of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico. After witnessing the havoc wreaked on his hometown and its surrounding areas, director Barker White and a team of emerging filmmakers traveled across the most severely impacted areas of the gulf coast interviewing environmental experts, government authorities, fishermen, scientists, drilling engineers, and key BP contractors in a quest to uncover the truth behind the spill.
Beyond Pollution examines the economic impact and health effects of this tragedy on the local communities both in the immediate and long terms, uncovering what really happened, why, and who actually benefited from the largest man-made disaster in America's history.

[@ReglazeRX]

And the world has moved on to so many other disasters since this happened. We just keep moving on.

[@cmbbfan78]

We maintenance such a world system and a world view which makes such events always again happen. It's never about people, parties, or companies. It is always about the system which let such situations happen.

[@deborahdougherty3208]

And the money! 💵

[@Stereostupid]

Our government and BP are just grotesque

[@danielknight4967]

we just need to start "cleansing" our political world

[@sassylady2001]

Yes, it is a slimy mess in DC -

[@oldodger]

And, BP is still in operation. BIG money doesn't care about anything but BIG money.

[@wellcomel4a]

If you think safety is expensive try an accident for size

[@gursisingh1940]

Exactly safet measures and implementations are still way cheaper than having to pay compensations and clean up efforts, of course unless thats coming out of your insurance

[@tylerdurden4006]

They didn't really clean up the oil though, they just pushed it to the bottom and it's still down there.

[@damonens9478]

Oil is lighter than water- you can't push it to the bottom lol

[@brucelee5576]

They use Corexit a chemical produce by Ecolab , it turns the oil into droplets and most of the droplets sink to the bottom, some are suspended in deeper water columns.

[@TheRealFNDeal.com1]

​@Bruce Lee "corrects it" lol what's a name

[@TetraDizzle]

@@damonens9478 You can by filling the water with even more chemicals, Bruce Lee hit the nail on the head, with a name like that he probably used a match to hit that nail.

[@jlo7770]

That's not how oil works lmfao... literally oil, is lighter than oil it always going to float to the surface... you can't HIDE IT... 3rd grade iq

[@linnieburwell6342]

I should have known that this would be a documentary against oil drilling.

[@jlo7770]

It's pretty silly

[@LyndaCollier-yb1rg]

I'm rewatching this in December 2023 with tears. Nothing has changed. It's worse, now they just say it straight out. Big business and government are the same and there's nothing we can do about it. Mother earth is tired of us. We are at the find out stage.

[@jlo7770]

You work off shore? You know the ins and outs? This is why civilization can't have women running things. Women would cry about everything. Get lost and let men do our jobs. If we need a Sammich we'll let ya know. The mentality of "women are equal" is a joke. No woman will ever help a rig. Save your tears for someone else

[@scottzipperer6146]

I haven't bought a BP products from the time of spill and won't

[@jlo7770]

You 100% have... you're just super ignorant lol

[@markdecorte2638]

Great documentory but the music in the background cuts out the words sometimes..

[@ucpham1109]

Welcome to the world of free capital, everyday in America.

[@xrisku]

BP is the Exxon of the 2010s and beyond.

[@jlo7770]

Why would the US ATTACK their ally? UK is our right hand man? Why would be destroy them? Lmfao

[@baileyantonengpei7860]

So hard watching the wildlife we lost. Yet alone the employees & those in those areas as a way of life

[@stevemino142]

Same with the forest fires more recently

[@sandrashevel2137]

And we still allow BP stations and drilling in our country

[@stevemino142]

If they were more careful in containing the oil they drill for... there would be a lot less spills

[@deanwoolston4794]

America absolutely needs to oil and gas independent, but we need to achieve that goal, responsibly. Especially when and where, the environment is concerned.

[@judithcampbell1705]

I'd like to see a documentary on what became of all the oil, exactly where and how big an area it has settled to, and what kind of habitats are there if any. THAT'S what I am interested in seeing.

[@tomnorris3060]

The chemicals they used to clean it up has been killing people since the first few months .

[@donnamillermcnutt]

I will NOT purchase gas from BP

[@HE-pu3nt]

Why is this video using Moscow time?!? Very suspicious.

[@Henry.58]

This was BP management trying to side step procedures. We need oil but do it right !

[@Souls-at-zer0]

Exactly like only one getting oil is the fish when you fuck it up THIS BAD …..spend the $$$to do it right not the money to clean up the disaster doing it wrong had caused, clean up messes payout to families …prison time or at least court fees ect ….or paying off someone so you don’t go to prison…whatever it is you pay the price for fuck ups like this AND people are dead AND are oceans are being ruined soooo just do it right the first time round .

[@youngcambaby]

This so sad, but don’t nobody care it to late now GOD help!

[@jlo7770]

"We lost 3 eagles" and that was too much, lmfao these anti oil people couldnt make it a day without oil.

[@shanetuma3845]

Now imagine this amount of corruption, but only 10 times worse, and you have Sub Saharan Africa.

[@Ffsdevgj]

Let’s destroy the planet, why not?

[@therick4964]

Did they actually use the outline of a set if ball's hanging from a bull to point at the oil company's that bp bought up? Now that's ballsy! Even though they all need to be put in prison for the rest of there lives!!!

[@Ffsdevgj]

And yet you look so clean from the outside….. bu inside you guys are filthy my.. f…… !

[@JB-rt4mx]

Reagan gives the Devils Power Sign upon his victory 🤟👹

[@madicatgeniveve]

51:37

[@carynvanwyk]

greed

[@gilzor9376]

Quite the brutally biased documentary. I'm sure not for the greed of oil companies, and their careless irresponsible attitude towards safety, but this film goes over the top. Perfect illustration @14:30 . . . . Exxon Valdez 'Survivor' . . . . . seriously? . . . . . absolutely pathetic.

[@raymondwilliams2609]

Until we stand up against these robber barons nothing is going to change; they will still continue with this stranglehold around everyone's throat. And all we ever do, and will continue to do, is just moan about these things in the comments section ! Let's start a revolution ! Who's with me ?!?!?.... Well... that's 2, anyway.....

[@sherierodrigues1569]

Going to hell in a basket.

[@tylercooper1551]

Flat earthers at 14:49 : yay she said the world is flat, that's proof right there!! Then at 14:51 : what does she know, elitist science lady!? Haha

[@kirkocuz]

L comment 🦗🦗🦗

[@jasonjones9798]

Yikes just started watching this subscriber recently and now I’m a bit disappointed it’s not new current information. Very old and misleading title very amateur hardly any really in-depth science on condition of the Gulf of Mexico

[@TheDiveDawg]

That's the point, who would fund such scientific research? the government who are bought and paid for? Or maybe the lying heads at BP, maybe the universities who are run by and for corporations? Take a vacation and see for yourself,

[@SamuelLanghorn]

yep, I had some expectations in the beginning, .... could not finish watching. Give it a D-

[@Scraggledust]

Is this an ad for political parties???? I am NOT into the republican or democrat parties. BOTH are shady and do not give a chit about the people. We as the citizens allowed this to happen. Mainly because people rely on the media for voting - and people vote by party. Incredibly short-sighted and dumb. We are getting what we deserve. We the people - are not smart as a group. Otherwise we’d be able to join up and peacefully protest against the finger pointing and lack of “the people” being truly represented. Research before you vote, for f***s sake; and demand real, palpable change

[@greghunt3790]

Wheres king von when you need him... He will give you that drill . Personally
