Upfront_News URGENT — REPORT: ENGINEERS HAVE SUCCEEDED IN STOPPING THE FLOW OF OIL AND GAS INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. MORE TO COME
Live feed shows something still spewing...... not sure what. Hope they have reversed the flow and what is spewing out is the fluids that are being injected.
I’m sorry, but until I see images of NOTHING coming out of the BOP and pipe, I remain unconvinced (but hopeful and prayerful)
The BBC has been reporting since about 10:30 that the US Coast Guard Commander is “optimistic that the leak has been stopped” - strange phrasing.
And yet there are those who will claim that because they see ‘mud’ coming out of the break in the riser pipe, that BP is lying.
The mud will continue to poor out until they inject the cement. That hasn’t even started yet. Then, and only then, will ALL OUTFLOW of any material stop, and the well be considered ‘sealed’.
