Re: Oil Rig explosion/Gulf Oil Spill Top kill stopped temporarily, New York Times reports. Not good news, but about what I expected. I will not be surprised when they say tomorrow "We gave it our best shot, sorry it didn't work out".
Re: Oil Rig explosion/Gulf Oil Spill this is not good.... Government warns of worst hurricane season since 2005 - Yahoo! News that sucker needs to get plugged, and fast!
Re: Oil Rig explosion/Gulf Oil Spill From my understanding they did not do the figures right and ran out of MUD......if they dont have enough continuous MUD to get the pressure to zero it will never stop flowing. If its a case of just getting the right amount of MUD then its only a matter a time before the get the right amount even if it takes 4 times of trying.....HOWEVER you would think that they would have known how much they needed in the first place... I mean they should have some of the brightest minds trying to figure this **** out and then have the 2nd brightest minds backing them up to make sure its right!
Re: Oil Rig explosion/Gulf Oil Spill According to the video I watched (post 527), they had 3 times the amount of mud that they calculated they would need.
Re: Oil Rig explosion/Gulf Oil Spill there is a special about the spill on Nat Geographic right now just started, talking about explosion, Coast Guard just leaving on rescue operation.
Re: Oil Rig explosion/Gulf Oil Spill From the live feed, it appears as though they are trying the junk shot technique. They have done several closeups and black rubber material is visible in some of the leaks.
