Just heard on Fox at 12:40 pm that the flowing oil has been stopped, for now that is. Gotta see if this will hold or not. |

We'll see how long that lasts ...

Well, that's good to know that they stopped it before it got out of hand or anything. The last thing we need is this oil to wash up on our beaches.

Give it time. This is NOT a permanent fix.

Give it time. This is NOT a permanent fix. anything is better than it was So lemme get this straight ... 'ANYthing' ... ? A seafloor rupture that converts the methane hydrates to gaseous methane that sinks everything on the surface and creates an underwater volcano is BETTER ... ? jeez ... that, in case you're unaware, IS one of the options (or scenarios) that could play out ... |

I know these are possible because I got emails stating them that were signed by a Doctor someone

i think that might be BS... how would the explosion create a hole miles away?... i guess we will see |

I am glad to hear this and I hope that everything continues to go well from here on out.

Nice, but BP still sucks, and shame on anyone who still supports this evil corporation.

Nice, but BP still sucks, and shame on anyone who still supports this evil corporation. I agree and believe the heads of all involved in this **** puzzle should shot dead. My guess is that BP will be sold and the new ownership will not pay a dime for clean up and Tony Haywood will get off scott free....its the American big business way. |

Okay ... lemme see the hands of everyone who understands the concept known as 'sublimation' ... for the inexperienced, that's the means by which a solid converts directly to the gas phase with no intermediate liquid phase. Some people call this an 'explosion'. That's what happens when methane hydrates interact with 400-degree-plus temperatures at the wellhead ... and the wellhead pressures are in excess of 100,000 psi ... Add those two factors to fractures and fissures in the seafloor, and you have the ingredients for a rapid expansion of methane hydrate and a seafloor collapse. Whether you (a) understand this or, (b) believe it, is completely irrelevant to me. It IS, however, a distinct possibility - but not the ONLY possibility. There are too many possible catastrophic scenarios to run permutations on ... let's just say that none of 'em have a favorable ending for the states in the area of the Gulf.

"It's not clear yet whether the oil will remain bottled in the cap after the test, or whether BP will use the device to funnel the crude into four ships on the surface."
hmmm...wasn't this the real first attempt that hasn't included a method to also get the oil to the surface? I'm thinking BP is gonna find a way to try and save this well. lots of oil...lots of $$$ |
