BP says it's sorry _ and guarantees fiat $20B peanuts for Gulf - for Gulf trillions of oil & toxic damages - what about the East Coast and EURO etc. etc. ???
On the driveway outside, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg apologized for "this tragic accident that should never have happened."
"We care about the small people," he said.
That comment wasn't as well-received as the promise of compensation.
"We're not small people," said Justin Taffinder of New Orleans. "We're human beings. They're no greater than us. We don't bow down to them." bow down for 666elite bolshevik trollz?
Added Terry Hanners, who has a small construction company in Gulf Shores, Ala.: "These BP people I've met are good folks. I've got a good rapport with them. But BP does not care about us. They are so far above us. We are the nickel-and-dime folks of this world."
By evening Svanberg was apologizing again. "I spoke clumsily this afternoon, and for that, I am very sorry," he said in a statement. "What I was trying to say - that BP understands how deeply this affects the lives of people who live along the Gulf and depend on it for their livelihood - will best be conveyed not by any words but by the work we do to put things right for the families and businesses who've been hurt."
The apologetic talk was expected to continue Thursday when company CEO Tony Hayward will face sharp questions from lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Officials Worried About The Gulf Cleanup Materials Sent To Their Landfills
They have good reason to worry. Even though BP claims otherwise, we just don't know for sure and you shouldn't just dump it anywhere (although I suspect they will, anyway):
About 35,000 bags — or 250 tons — of oily trash have been carted away from this beach, said Lt. Patrick Hanley of the Coast Guard, who is stationed at Port Fourchon. And as of Monday, more than 175,000 gallons of liquid waste — a combination of oil and water — had been sent to landfills, as had 11,276 cubic yards of solid waste, said Petty Officer Gail Dale, also of the Coast Guard, who works with at the command center in Houma.
