****************My gues is there is about 18,000 feet of drill pipe laying on the floor of the gulf and the BOP stack was destroyed. They will be lucky if they can “top kill” this well. There is nothing to tie onto and no BOP to close if they do have some success. The only way out that I can see is a releif well drilled into the existing well bore.These guys are screwed!...regards - red**************
I never even thought of this happening. Has or will anyone admit that this has happened? If it did happen, they have a huge problem to say the least. Good luck BP.
After posting what the other guy said I believe the pipe is still in the ground. There is oil coming out of it. But when they do seal it it could come flying out of the ground. WOW! Still Good luck BP.
I think on Fox the yesterday I say the top Coast Guard man state that BP didn’t expect this to work. They honestly believe that the only thing they can do is drill the relief well and that will take up into August to complete.
We’re in big trouble if that’s the case. And as someone said earlier, when hurricanes and tropical storms start picking this up won’t it spray not only oil; but also the toxic disbursement that BP is using all over the place?
