    Not to mention our marshlands which have been under attack by man for the past 200 plus years are our natural hurricane speedbump. If those marshlands disappear, Katrina wasn't crap.

    They thought it would start early today on the Today show, but BP said it was still monitoring pressures and noon would be more likely.

    Halliburton is just waiting for the go signal from BP to proceed.

    It works fine for me and I have had it on all morning thus far. One thing for people to keep in mind is that this is the leak at end of riser pipe, not the one near the BOP.

    If you are watching this and see it stop, then it does not mean it is completely fixed. It may still be leaking near the BOP.

    I just saw on FoxNews that they are wavering. It will be tomorrow IF they do it at all. :po:
