Oil Spill Brings 'Catastrophe' to Egypt


Egyptian oil spill in the Red Sea has caused a new environmental catastrophe, prompting an outcry among activists that call for tighter offshore regulations.

Huge quantities of crude gushing from Egypt's offshore platforms in the Red Sea have reached the coasts of Egyptian tourist hub Hurghada, AFP reported.

Hurghada attracts millions of tourists for diving and snorkeling, the report says.

Hurghada Environmental Protection and Conservation Agency (HEPCA) says the leak started about 4-5 days ago but the companies in charge, covered up the "catastrophic" incident.'

  1. Looks like it's not only BP who are incompetent.

    These oil companies should be made to clean up the mess, then banned or fined heavily, if they can't stop polluting the environment. Their lazy CEOs, who don't do any work and are grossly overpaid anyway, should be sacked and banned as well.

    What is the world coming to, you would think that with the last disastrous oil spill still raging on that these companies would be more careful. Apparently, not.

  2. So there are three oil spills, huh? Think again. The one in the Gulf of Mexico turns out to be an asphault volcano, stimulated by the drilling to erupt endless toxic/ flammable gases, abiotic oil, and superheated water. Is BP and govt climing they were drilling for abiotic oil, because it is worthless compared to sweet crude oil, so what was the motivation, the methane? Asphault volcanoes were first discovered in 2003, scientists state last eruption of one was 35,000 years ago, propably attributing to last ice age. The monster Madondo was the first discovered in 2003. It is speculated that the Horizon blow up was attmpting to drill a relief well for their drilling in Madonda. In other words they have openings, fissures, vents about to explode and change the living conditions for the entire planet. So if you are comparing these other spills to a super, asphault vocano eruption, you better do a little more research. For answers visit cognitivetransformation.com.
