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.

Oh yes, they changed their position on it.. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/05/25/gul...ex.html?hpt=T2
There's actually a risk this procedure will complicate the situation and possibly worsen the leak.

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.

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?

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..

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.
