Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
True the Military spends their time developing machines for war. It just happens that one of the machines of war could actually stop this.
If you are referring to the Nuke method, not only is it not a sure thing but it could make things WAY worse than they are now. Maybe as an absolute laaaaast resort would it be a good idea to consider that option.
Failure after failure after failure. Now they are abandoning the diamond wire cutter and going with less precise way of cutting the riser pipe. This means that there will be more oil leakage coming out of the "top hat".
This whole ordeal shows just how unprepared the whole oil industry was to ever deal with something like this. They put all their faith into one piece of equipment (The BOP) and now they're fucked.
Puts into perspective how big this spill actually is.... Damn.
holy shit
i punched in my address, and it's basically big enough to cover all the way to chilliwack to the right, all the way past vancouver island to the left, and about halfway up BC
not to mention it's just getting bigger by the second too
BP has officially given up trying to seal its gushing oil well in the Gulf of Mexico until it can finish drilling at least one "relief well" in mid-August. Although its latest attempt to temporarily control the spill may succeed, what if the long-term "relief wells" solution fails, as experts say is entirely possible?
