2 People Involved in Gulf Oil Spill Cleanup Have Died, Coast Guard Reports
Published June 23, 2010 | FOXNews.com

Two people involved in the Gulf oil spill cleanup effort have died, the U.S. Coast Guard reported.

Meantime, the Coast Guard says BP has been forced to remove a cap that was containing some of the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen says an underwater robot bumped into the venting system. That sent gas rising through vent that carries warm water down to prevent ice-like crystals from forming in the cap.

Allen says the cap has been removed and crews are checking to see if crystals have formed before putting it back on. In the meantime, a different system is stilling burning oil on the surface.

Before the problem with the containment cap, it had collected about 700,000 gallons of oil in the previous 24 hours. Another 438,000 gallons was burned.

This could be a comedy routine if it wasn't so truly tragic.

How were they killed, driving to lunch at the local diner, hot dog stuck in there throat?

Typical crappy, over hyped news article.

Over 30yrs ago...same company (different name), same failure, same cleanup methods. You would think they would have learned. Technology has come a long way since then but it seems that the oil companies are not concerned with anything but making money.

Naw, they fell asleep reading these posts, and drove off the bridge. It may have been suicide....

"Two people working on the oil-spill response effort died, but none of the deaths were work-related, Adm. Allen said. One of the deceased was working on a vessel of opportunity in the Gulf Shores, Ala., area, Adm. Allen said. The other was a swimming-related accident. Adm. Allen didn't say where the swimming death occurred. "

OP, How's the foil fitting today pal?

Wait a minute, what about the two people that died? Are we going to hear anything about how, where, when, why?

Apparently not. Instead we have an article talking about something else. Who's writing this drivel?

Is this happening all month, or just at certain times?

Apparently the reporter is from Florida, anyone see the connection?

I heard the real masterminds behind 9/11 were driving the robot that caused them to have to remove the cap in an effort to light the entire underground on fire.

Wow....it must be getting late....or early.
