Im sorry, we have too many ways to fix this leak... They just dont want to....


My idea is .. We can build truck and tractor tires the size of a 2 story house right ? ... Then build a reverse rubber plug to send down the center of the leak. like an upside down umbrella.. compact it into a ram pipe.. run it down the center of the larger pipe. Extrude the plug with a smaller pipe then let the pressure from the well complete the seal.. Top that off with concrete.. Presto !!

CNN reported a few minutes ago that they are still running tests or whatever, and will attempt the top kill later IF AT ALL TODAY.

betcha 5 dollars to a donut the cam gets "overloaded with viewers" and crashes out before they do it.

If THIS is what they are calling the live link - then something is wrong. That is a break in the riser which is LAYING ON THE SEA FLOOR. That is NOT the top of the BOP. Think about what they have been showing on MSM - that graphic about what they are going to try. This doesn't look anything like the BOP - because it isn't.

The BOP is nearly 40 ft tall and is a 450 ton stack of equipment !!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 977299


yesterday they've shown it

why? all they promised is to put a camera down there, not that it shows the BOP or anything essential, not even anything recognizable, this is just entertainment to keep you busy

The may 12 recording looks more powerful than the present one as I see it. Is pressure dying down?

I'm watching the live feed right now and the pressure looks exactly the same.

No they are not doing it now, they tested it last night and it is not going to work.

They may put on some type of show for the sheep later, just so they can say they tried.

They won't show the BOP for reasons unknown... it is still partially intact otherwise we would not see the flow coming out of the pipe on the current video.

This thread is misleading as their will be no top kill!

One of the option is something very similar to that. They will cut off the top of the BOP and place a rubber seal on top. Its explained better here. About halfway through I think.

Theyre not trying it now. Will people please stop posting that, and try to post only useful comments? :)

It could be this afternoon before they try, and by then we would have 25 pages of people saying 500 times, 'I think theyre doing it now' everytime some dirt is kicked up. It would be a useless thread for newcomers then. Be respectful and only post useful information or genuine observations please.

They're not going to do anything that will make it more difficult to get back into that oil deposit later. Nothing is going to "work" except drilling the relief wells.
