Tar Balls Galore on Alabama Beaches, WKRG, September 29, 2010:
Transcript Excerpts
All along the coast a non-metallic sheen. In places four miles off shore. ...
[O]n the beach there are all these tar balls, little pieces of oil, almost any where you look you can find them and nobody is cleaning them up. ...
A man who identified himself as a worker for BP but wanted to remain anonymous says he has been working on those clean up crews since June.
"The beaches are not clean, they've just been covering it up. There's oil everywhere. It's below the sand up to six foot." ...
"Dig down about four foot there are actually layers about four inches thick. There's just tar close to the pier just tar, tar, tar solid layers of tar,"
Why do people touch that crap? I wouldn't. That sh*t will kill you quick, goes right through your skin. Kids down here think it's friggin Playdoh!
