Officials say they successfully inserted a new pipe into the broken pipe spewing oil into the Gulf. That new pipe started sending oil to a ship on the surface, but, just moments later, two remotely-operated robots crashed into each other and knocked the pipes partially apart. The robots were taking photos of the operation.

BP spokesman Glenn DaGian says engineers estimate it will take about nine hours to fix the problem.

A movie made over 30 years ago that perfectly describes the situation today about television, news, and the main stream media. It resonates louder and sounds truer today that it did when the movie was made.

If that's the case then that's good. What remains to be seen is what percentage of oil it is able to collect from what's spewing. And there are still the other leaks to contend with.

Or is there only one left to deal with?

Re: TUBE FAILS AGAIN! ROV'S TO BLAME!
I don't see how they did this based on the video they showed. Unless they just sawed it off and shoved it in. Is this in the main leak even?

Re: TUBE FAILS AGAIN! ROV'S TO BLAME!
Ok, I have an issue with CNN's graphic of the "lil pipe fix." They want me to believe that this ROV has the engine thrust power to fight against the outflow pressures that have been reported to insert a cork with a pipe in it. Doesn't sound right to me.

I'd like to see the video, they should be proud to show it, if it is truely progress.

That's the thing...they weren't fighting the full pressure of the leak. There is still oil spewing out of at least 2 other breaks in the pipe. This only captures the lowest pressure portion that was escaping the very end of the broken of pipe.


So regardless of the success of THIS particular portion of the problem, it is just a placebo.

Catching leaks downline from the BOP is just a matter of collection not correction.

It's not. This at the end of the broken, mangled up pipe, where the pressure is lowest. It is still leaking in 2 other higher pressure points further down the pipe, closer to the well head.
