BREAKING: NEW OIL SPILL - Boat Crashes Into Oil Well

Boat Crashes Into Oil Well, Creating New Spill in Gulf of Mexico

Fox News

July 27: Oil and natural gas are seen shooting into the Gulf of Mexico from a damaged well near Bayou St. Dennis, La.

URGENT: Fox News is being told by the Homeland Security director for Jefferson Parish, La., that a new oil leak has sprung up in the Gulf of Mexico after a boat struck an oil well in the early morning hours on Tuesday.

A tugboat or other workboat collided with the well near Bayou St. Dennis, La., shearing off its valve structure and releasing pressurized natural gas and light oil, DHS official Deano Bonano told Fox News.

Cleanup workers are currently booming off the area and the scene at sea has been taken over by federal agents. The U.S. Coast Guard, Jefferson Parish police and fire officials, as well as Vessels of Opportunity boats have all been dispatched to the scene.

Federal officials do not know who owns the well, but a contractor who handles wild wells is also on the way, Bonano said.

Oil is spewing about 20 feet in the air from the severed 4-inch pipe, a contractor who flew over the leak told Fox News. The area has been evacuated and civilian boats are being told not to enter the scene, where "a fair bit of oil" is leaking out, the contractor said.

Comment by Patrick Murphy on July 27, 2010 at 2:24pm: Hey Percy, I listened to a steve quayle show, where he had some rich insider gold trader guy talking from china, and he was saying the gulf is a giant sham, they are trying to clear everyone out there, so they can go in and take whatever, it is something they are definitely after, maybe a large find of ??????? or maybe just part of the global takeover and this is the false flag to, well, you know.

Comment by Tara on July 27, 2010 at 2:08pm: I'm with you Percy, something just doesn't add up down in the Gulf right now. How the hell could a tugboat not avoid a major rig? It just doesn't make sense unless someone was a drunken sailor that morning. There's still many question marks involved with everything that has happened down in the Gulf up to this point.

Comment by Percy on July 27, 2010 at 1:54pm: Fox news??? Maybe another scam that isn't really happening, remember, no press or anyone is allowed out there under criminal law. So, who is out there filming it and why since they are supposedly trying to hide everything and since fox is owned by the same people who BP, bankers/wall street, then the MSM is only going to put out what the owners want them to put. So they WANT US TO BELIEVE THERE IS ANOTHER SPILL SINCE THE METHANE VOLCANO DIDN'T WORK, the millions with internal bleeding didn't work, the ruined beaches that didn't work that are crystal clean and pure and with no oil. So, then it was a natural gas leak and that didn't work, and now its another leak caused by a boat that could not avoid a huge giant rig????? Give me a break. lol They really are trying to clear the gulf of everyone. I can't figure out why. But I am getting a hint and if research supports it, then it is big. They are in very very deep doodoo and the gulf just might save them but in order to do that they have to clear it out. Will get back to ya later once I am sure about this.
