'Top kill' fails, BP moves on 'to next option' - CNN.com
Who's been following this story? It's kinda hard not to.
Yet it's easy to get put aside since it's been going on for almost a month. Only the last 4 or 5 days has it been at the top of the news again. Due to the supposed fix of the Top kill procedure.
I wonder if thats part of the plan?
Since it may be something that they cant stop, and they knew it all along. This Top Kill procedure was only implemented late last week. Why not much sooner?
It was pretty obvious to most, that it failed on Thursday of last week. When they stopped pumping the slurry mix. BP bought more time, ''2 days''. A obvious attempt to cary them through the weekend. Just for the close of the stock market.
Now what?
Well the most guaranteed way would to drill a relief well. To counter act the pressure. Only way to do that. Would to be to get the Obama administration to lift the off shore drilling freeze, another win for BP and the oil consortium. Even though this procedure would take 2 to 3 months to reach those depths. By that time the well could expel all it's oil and run dry.
All I know is that it's a pretty sad day for the gulf coast states. Some of which are already the poorest states. Now they will loose their fishing industry, their income from the many off shore oil wells, and now their tourist income. No one wants visit contaminated beaches.
I say blast it with a thermal nuclear warhead. To fuse the sandy ocean bottom into a huge glass plug:eg:
