OR[edit]

I contacted Alexander Higgins for a statement on how he made the calculator and got the East, North coordinates of the Deepwater Horizon. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 05:30, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also sent a press email to BPs press office. If I get a response it will likely be on Monday if I am lucky. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 06:02, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Got a reply from BP...it's not much but I forwarded it through scoop. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 16:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Been watching[edit]

In the reference to the BOA DEEP C 2, I was watching the live feed and can vouch for the ROV being tossed around. Not sure if that counts, but I figured I would make a mention. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 05:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interview?[edit]

Any chance of including one or two direct quotes from Mr Higgins? It would make the measurement seem more relevant to the reader. --InfantGorilla (talk) 16:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I emailed him some questions last night. He has yet to respond. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 17:33, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Review of revision 1062171 [Passed][edit]

Inaccurate claims in story.[edit]

There is no evidence oil was seeping from the sea floor at that time. All that is shown in the video you're referring to is silt thrown up from the sea bed. 124.150.58.29 (talk)

"rate of up to 150,000 gallons" is not a rate[edit]

Near the end, there is the phrase "a rate of up to 150,000 gallons". Gallons per what? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.90.165.35 (talkcontribs) 08:58, 22 July 2010

It seems to be referring to the 150,000 gallons in the following paragraph, which is over a period of 39 days. --Pi zero (talk) 13:50, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've suggested alternative phrasing. --Pi zero (talk) 14:09, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
