i mean, money being spent, cleanup efforts. we are here, you live here, this is your world. what should people in washington make decisions know what s happening here? oh. i don t think that there s an authority that is telling everybody what to do. the left hand doesn t know what the right is doing. people from the other parish coming in here. 20 miles away trying to boom over here. hoe call people are not working. they should be some kind of a logistical support from the government to tell bp where to go, what to do, how to do these things. because, i look at it you can see people booming where they re not supposed to boom. i see people who aren t doing the job. they re supposed to about hiring people, it s not about sucking the oil up.
funding for deep spill two. this is the thought. has bp responded to the letter? i have not heard back from them yet. given the enormity of what we re talking about here, the impact across the entire country, why do we need bp s permission. why doesn t the government, for example, foot the $8.4 million bill and let the scientists get to work to answer some of the questions that you re raising. i think bp should pay for it. i think bp should stand for bills paid. and this is certainly something that bp should pay for. i think it makes a lot of sense for this experiment to take place, especially the use of fluorescent dye in order to measure accurately how much oil and natural gas is coming out of this pipe. and and i think if it does require the federal government to pay for it, they should just
what brk p is doing to monitor long-term health effects. what are they doing to get that information? that s what dr. o shea has to say. if someone s been out there, you heard the complaints like i have, they complain of burning in their sciences and their throat, lightheadedness, nausea, headaches, what is that? is that exposure to the toxic elements? regarding the symptoms that we re seeing, we don t have a good explanation. does that surprise you that there s not a good explanation. what a lot of people are saying, look, we re smelling the stuff, we don t feel well afterwards. the headaches do come in. they do evaluate them. we do treat them. and assure that there hasn t been any ill effect from a chemical out there. sometimes we can t explain why there are gray areas of medicine. absolutely. you know that better than anybody. yes. with regard to testing, if someone comes in with any kind of complaint, are they getting
and rubber gloves and that sort of thing picking it up and taking it to the landfill? certainly a good question. we put that question to the folks at waste management. sanjay, they told us that what is on the beach is potentially hazardous, all of it. so, once they separate it, the good from the bad, the hazardous from the nonhazardous, what they bring to their site, folks don t need to worry about, they say, in the county because that s the nonhazardous stuff. that s amazing how much of this i guess we re seeing it all coming out of the ocean all the time, 150 tons of this. that is what they have been collecting because they haven t been able to drop it in there yet. they think it will be less over the days and weeks ahead but still that s a lot of oil waste. people at harrison county voted against this, voted against allowing this waste to be dumped. and obviously it s still being dumped. can they do anything about it? is there an appeals process? the county board passed
beyond everyone s imagination. we saw it firsthand barely more than 12 hours later. i just flew over port-au-prince. seeing it for the first time, a city i know well, it s incredibly shocking. the presidential palace, as you know, parts of it have collapsed. it s an eerie scene, many people standing around on the streets, not sure what to do or where to go. for many, there is nowhere to go. haiti was in ruins. it s a 13-year-old girl trapped here. she s clearly alive. we can hear her crying out. you can see two of her feet at this point. she is alive. she is finally free. no one was spared the suffering. 15-day-old baby who was in the earthquake. day after day, bare hands, the main tools of rescue work. her name is winnie, just 18 months old, covered in dust. she s stunned, but seems
