sadly....money talks. Once they pay up, clean up. Back to business they go, and cost, deferred to it's customers.

Wonder how the company will turn out once this is over. Their name is tarnished forever.

They are planning to put concrete in the pipe tomorrow. You can watch it live to see if it works.

LiquidTurbo 05-25-2010 06:41 PM

^ You can? I thought that they were going to cut the live stream for the procedure? (Which made a lot of people angry..

cressydrift 05-25-2010 07:37 PM

Global news said they were going to leave it up, don't know how accurate they are?

LiquidTurbo 05-25-2010 07:39 PM

Oh yes, they changed their position on it..

There's actually a risk this procedure will complicate the situation and possibly worsen the leak.

HonestTea 05-25-2010 08:15 PM

:thumbsup: i like the sound of that lol

LiquidTurbo 05-26-2010 10:24 AM

7pm tonight.

I think whats more alarming is this is page 15 news in the paper. IMO it's kind of a big deal, more relevant then the Richmond council rent a bike network or the Lions Gate becoming a National shrine.

LiquidTurbo 05-26-2010 10:45 AM

Everyone knows about it. No one really cares about it. Its human nature to not care till it directly affects them. We live far far away from the spill, so we'd rather not look at it - afterall, what good does it do?

You could say that about most the news, what in the paper really effects us directly? Some junkie on the front page got murdered, why do I care I don't know her? Some Bollywood director got his money, phones and sunglasses stolen. Again, I could careless.

This issue effects us all on a global scale. I'm not saying it should be front page but you have to really dig to find any info.

I don't disagree with you, just saying the reality of the situation. That being said, I am surprised also it isn't more of a prominent news stories, knowing all the treehuggers that live in Vancouver would probably want to follow the story quite closely..

murd0c 05-26-2010 11:27 AM

They are trying to plug it right now so there's a whole lot of action(well more then before lol)
Trying to pump in thousand of lbs of deep drilling mud and then concrete.

Uh, it's a 3 mile long well. It takes a bit longer than a couple of hours to fill it up.

They won't know for another 24 hours if they're going to be successful, it will probably take 2 whole weeks before the well kill is complete.

murd0c 05-26-2010 04:13 PM

it says below the link it will take 2 days to know how the plug worked.
