Re: BP caps spill
Yup. It only took him 3 months to plug a leak. Speaks volumes about the man.

Re: BP caps spill
I heard it too while i was on vacation, but apparantley they are worried about another leak now somewhere else that is due to the well being capped off.
The well casing is apparantley damaged, and the oil is seeping under the sea floor or something

Re: BP caps spill
Interesting how interests have switched:
BP wants to keep the well head closed, I am sure mainly for PR sake; while the Govt wants to open it and collect the oil in tankers in order to relieve the pressure in case there is some seepage going on. Oil cap kept shut despite seepage near broken well - Yahoo! News Quote:

Re: BP caps spill
You know every time I make bacon in my house the fire alarm goes off. I don't turn the alarm off permanently to avoid it.

Re: BP caps spill
Seems to me, if the alarm is misfiring, you build a better alarm rather than say: "Eh - it likely won't matter, I'll probably wake up when the explosion goes off anyway."

Re: BP caps spill
If it's disabled on every boat, or even the majority, I wouldn't call it crucial. But, maybe it would have been in that moment. I don't know, I just read the article, and the guy sounded like someone who was trying to show how important he was as opposed to someone trying to actually get the truth out.
