Well, if you can't sail it could be sailing related but suggest you put it in off topic and provide some sort of link to the story.

Hmmm.. after checking it turns out that in a still picture of the control center with 10 screens there were 2 blank screens which were photoshopped to look active. Wow - big conspiracy here and the title of the thread is very misleading...

BP's altered photo distorts spill center activity - Yahoo! News

Every body tries to make themselves look good. But sometimes being honest up front really makes you look good. A lesson that large companies really need to learn...

they either photoshopped it or they didn't..one is wrong the other is right...

zeessh, what is so bad about right and wrong, that everyone can justify any behavior...."it's really not that wrong"

BP did alter the photo, and it does distort the actual activity in the center, my first thought was why have the same pics on several screens....

More of this nation should figure out what is right and what is wrong - we have lived far too long in shades of gray and PC protection of simply rotten behavior by all degrees of heathens - -just to rationalize or condone wrong doing.

I have said it before....sieze their assets ,fix the Gulf and BAN BP forever from our waters.....Revoke every lease in the Gulf(including Thunder horse) and give the wells to someone responsible...

How many lies and how much deception does it take before this country takes its USCG back from the rule of BP..

I agree with you there, but the original title states that videos rather than a single image were falsified/changed and that the data coming out of the command center was suspect. This is a patently incorrect post and misinterpretation without referring to the actual facts - typical of the conspiracy theorist approach. The implication that the poster wants us to infer is that this is some big conspiracy; including the note that "big brother" in the form of forums mods will (perhaps at the behest of some government organization) soon pull this information from public view.
