BP: This is your image – forever. You can’t spin it.
Every era has its iconic image. This one will always represent the BP oil nightmare, and no amount of PR spin, or advertising (by Purple Strategies) or Tweeting will clean BP’s image. This photo, thanks to Google and the Way Back Machine, will be available online forever.Wednesday, 20 April 2011
Greg Palast » BP’s Secret Deepwater Blowout
Greg Palast » BP’s Secret Deepwater Blowout:
"Only 17 months before BP's Deepwater Horizon rig suffered a deadly blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, another BP deepwater oil platform also blew out.
You've heard and seen much about the Gulf disaster that killed 11 BP workers. If you have not heard about the earlier blowout, it's because BP has kept the full story under wraps. Nor did BP inform Congress or US safety regulators, and BP, along with its oil industry partners, have preferred to keep it that way.

Relatives of Dead Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig Workers Feel Forgotten in the Spill
One year after the Deepwater Horizon exploded, there has been no mention of the eleven men that perished.
We will remember them and hold them in our hearts, they were husbands, fathers, brothers, grandsons.
It has been one year since that fateful day -- we will remember them. Peace.
Relatives of Dead Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig Workers Feel Forgotten in the Spill:
"(May 23) -- While the world remains fixated on the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, L.D. Manuel says people are forgetting an important fact: 11 men, including his son, died when the oil rig blew up.
'I'm following the coverage, but I don't know that I like what I'm seeing. Everyone talks about the birds and the damage to the gulf and everything, but they never talk about the guys that got hurt,' said Manuel, who lost his son Blair in the explosion. 'That really bothers me.'
The Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded just over a month ago, on April 20, and relatives of the 11 men who were killed said that it's understandable that the news media and the public are focused on environmental concerns, government regulations, politics, the future of offshore drilling.
But they fear that the 11 victims -- their husbands, sons, grandsons, brothers -- have been forgotten.

BP's 'scapegoat' strikes it rich with Rothschild & Co - Business News, Business - The Independent
BP's 'scapegoat' strikes it rich with Rothschild & Co - Business News, Business - The Independent:
"As the first anniversary of the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster approaches, the former BP boss Tony Hayward could be forgiven for wishing to see the back of 12 months in which he was dubbed America's 'most hated' for his mishandling of the event.
