Even if it breaks, it still bought some valuable time for a more long term solution to be developed.

So BP is an angel now?

And I think where the oil lands is much more important than how much oil has spilled out...(which is what the media has mostly focused on)
1 millions barrel washed ashore is a lot worse for the environment than 100 millions barrel spilled in the middle of the pacific ocean

Well Cap Causing Seabed to Leak -- Engineer

(Ken Price is a mechanical engineer who worked for a large oil company for 14 years. )

There are cracks in the seafloor leaking, and the pressure tests are revealing that the casing will not hold; it has already been perforated in numerous places.

[This is in contradiction to the latest mainstream press reports that there are no leaks either in the well cap or the sea floor.]

I believe it is time to leave the gulf coast in case the sea floor expands then collapses delivering a tsunami to the region.

There is no way that this device can hold the pressures that are involved with this super-pressurized gas reserve. Advise loved ones to leave the region, now, and for a few days; this well cap poses a much more dangerous situation than they probably know.

How can we get people in the gulf region to watch a couple hours of YouTube (see below) and read all that I have, such that they would come to the conclusion that they are in grave danger?

These nuts deliberately let crude flow through the pipe casing for a long enough time to insure that it is worn and weakened in numerous places, and now they apply a cap, and now they start pressurizing all of the layers of strata in between the oil reservoir and seafloor.

Few know of the existence of a power "group" that rules above the spoon fed TV characters called presidents, senators, governors, etc. You and I know, such a diabolical event does not happen without plan and execution.

Dave Lindorff is the one who has most recently brought this situation of the pressure spreading out under the layers beneath the sea floor to light. I'm trying to predict the timing. If there is one thing I have learned over and over again it is this: I cannot predict the timing of these tragic events.

This is less of a problem than having 1,000,000 gallons plus of oil a day coming out the riser. It does not look significant and will stop as soon as the 2 relief wells are completed.

I do not work for BP.

All this BP news has drowned out another oil disaster in China.

It's amazing how horrible we are to what we've been entrusted with.

Mankind is going to end up killing itself before any sort of natural disaster does it to us.

We'll have lived less than 1% of the time dinosaurs ruled the earth.
So much potential, yet so much foail

Actually the well has been shut for the last 3 weeks. They are going through the static kill process right now to shut it off permanently.

Yes. They managed to force the oil back down the well pipe, and are beginning to pump in cement today.

Well the whole thing was mismanaged right from the beginning. Why they didn't think of the capping stack in Month 1 instead of Month 3 is beyond me. It was a simple solution that made a whole lot of sense too: Unbolt old riser pipe flange from BOP, bolt on new flange to capping stack with new valves. Done.

Both the big and little top hats, and the original top-kill with junk shots were a complete waste of time.
