Caught on tape: BP CEO Hayward tells Cameraman to "Get Outta Here" at Spill Clean Up Site

If BP wants the public to feel like the company is being straight-up when it comes to their operation to stop the tens-of-thousands of oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico, they sure have a poor way of showing it.

Here is video footage of BP's CEO Tony Hayward today touring what I am assuming is a public beach scolding a news cameraman saying "Hey, get outta there, Get outta there." The cameraman is trying to take a close-up shot of the clean up operation underway on the beach.

This comes on the heels of a news report today from the UK's Financial Times quoting Carl-Henric Svanberg, the chairman of BP, saying that BP is "big and important." These are just the latest public relations blunders by the oil company who is being accused by US lawmakers of not fully disclosing the scope of the crisis in the Gulf of Mexico they are dealing with.

A week ago we reported here on EnergyBoom that BP and Coast Guard were caught on tape blocking media from public beaches.
