Title: 4,000 tons of shells explode in Central Russia, leave mushroom cloud-like plume of smoke

Date: Oct 9, 2012

Anxious comments about the aftermath of the explosions circulated on the Internet. Dunguz resident Valentina Aramova said the explosions were so powerful that some trees fell, the local Orenburg ‘56-media’ website reported.“At the local market the trading stalls folded up like playing cards,” she said. “Children are being evacuated from kindergartens and schools. Everyone is being asked to go far into the steppe. The whole of Dunguz is in plumes of black smoke.”

Other witnesses from the town of Donguz told RT they are being removed from the area, and claimed they saw a large number of military vehicles, ambulances, emergency workers, communication officers and repair workers heading to the site. Authorities are phoning local residents, explaining the situation and asking them to remain calm. Buses were dispatched to transport residents away from the area. […]

That statement was later disputed by the Press Service of Russia’s Defense Ministry, which claimed no one was injured or went missing in the incident. The ministry also denied that a train loaded with shells was at the testing range, saying only three shells exploded. […]

Breaking! BP Gulf disaster -Food chain damage likely on the way

Kristiansen said that the worst of the damage from the oil remains buried in such sub-sand deposits would likely be subsurface ecosystems.

“The damage that we don’t see could be far worse,” he said. “The subsurface ecosystem damage can damage the genetic make up of and productivity of these ecosystems.”

He said that the chemicals released by the initial spill accumulate upward in the food chain, and “reach levels above the threshold of what causes genetic damage in marine species, and may further cause cancer in seafood consuming humans.”

“If anyone is still accepting BPs assertions that this is not an environmental disaster any longer, this is an eye opener,” he added.

Post Hurrican Isaac oil washing up on Gulf of Mexico shores tied to BP Deepwater Horizon blowout

Charles Digges, 09/10-2012

Bellona

Most oil that appeared along Gulf of Mexico shores in the wake of August’s Hurricane Isaac has been traced to be remnants of crude that gushed from the Macondo well during BP’s 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, area marine laboratories and BP have confirmed.

Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Mississippiwere last month hit by tar balls and oilexposed by waves from the hurricane, which made landfall at the mouth of the Mississippi river on August 28.

Laboratories from across the states affected by the hurricane – and previously oil sludge from the  Deepwater Horizon explosion, the largest oil spill in US history – said to Bellona in emails that their own independent chemical analyses revealed that most of the oil found along beaches in the coastal states had come from the Macondo well.

Tests run at Louisiana State University for state wildlife officials confirmed that oil found on Elmer’s Island and Grand Isle, near Venice, Louisiana, matched the biological fingerprint of the 4.9 million barrels of oil that gushed out of the well over a 55 day period after the BP operated Deepwater Horizon rig exploded off the coast of Louisiana, killing 11.

LSU chemist Ed Overton said the oil found on Elmer’s Island had not degraded much while oil at Grand Isle had.

“Both were good solid matches on Macondo oil,” Overton said.

Joel Hayworth, a researcher with Auburn University in Alabama confirmed that that tar balls collected in his state after Isaac were also associated with the type of oil spilled during the Deepwater Horizon accident.

“The discovery of oil spills on beaches in Louisiana confirms the severity of the Deepwater Horizon accident. This shows that the severity of the spill is much more complex than what we know today,” said Bellona President Frederic Hauge, who was in Louisiana in 2010 with other Bellona staff to follow the BP accident.
