this is on the BP site below the live link Quote: |
Throughout the extended top kill procedure – which may take up to two days to complete - very significant changes in the appearance of the flows at the seabed may be expected. These will not provide a reliable indicator of the overall progress, or success or failure, of the top kill operation as a whole. BP will report on the progress of the operation as appropriate and on its outcome when complete.

BP exec says it appears only drilling mud flowing from well, not oil, six hours into 'top kill' effort.

This is shocking. 
Same thing happens 31 years ago in 200 ft of water and it takes 9 months to drill relief wells. Now it's at a depth of 5000ft. What are the worst case scenarios here say oil leaks for a year then what.

I'd say we're f'd if the oil leaks for a year. The oil has been leaking for a month and look at the damage it has already caused. Give it another 11 months and fuuuu

Since this top-kill isn't looking promising.. we'll have to wait till the relief wells are drilled?  | |

Her last statement is what really pisses me off, they've advanced the tech to drill deeper but there has been absolutely no advancement in dealing with a leak. They've only made drilling riskier by drilling deeper but have no new strategies to deal with a leak!

So far everything I have read from CNN says that it's actually working according to plan.
""The top kill procedure is going as planned, and it is moving along as everyone had hoped," said U.S. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, who is leading the government's response to the oil spill.

I don't understand how the governments associated or at least the ones giving the licenses and permits can allow drilling at such depths. When the shit hits the fan its nearly impossible to keep it localized.

its one of those loop holes, until shit hit the fan, ppl dont realize how serious it is. Unfortunately this time it blew way out of proportion that no human can contain. really unfortunate....

Everyone talks about BP all the time, but I don't hear much discussion of Transocean and how they play into this disaster. They owned and operated the rig that went down. What role do they have in this cleanup effort, if any?
