Good for BP - and COMMERCIAL industry.
And now watch Barry Zero claim the credit.

Im not buying it yet ...
Me either. I've seen nothing that says conclusively that there will be no more oil leaking. Also, BP has not said that it is successful yet.

With that film of the oil gushing from the ocean floor, the Left has it’s “Silent Spring” / “Three Mile Island” / “Chernobyl” propaganda with which to kill domestic oil production for the next 150 years. Great job to the fools who perpetrated this disaster by not following proper procedures (probably for schedule gains).

LOL! I was about to say the exact same thing about you!
All is well at this end! I still post here but not as much as I used to up until this disaster in the gulf at least!
How’s thing up in Obamer land?

BP has been dragging it's feet trying to salvage the wellhead.The wellhead is not salvageable. BP has not been dragging their feet. If you want to know what is really being done, and how long things take and why, here:

Fox is currently discussing this issue at length and there is NO confirmation of complete stop of the flow.

No kidding! I can do all those things you mentioned and none of them are easy even under ideal conditions. If this fix turns out good these people should be lauded for a job well done under incredible pressure. No pun intended!!
To: ZX12R
The live feed also seems to have stopped? Does anyone have a working live feed link that shows the exact spot of the leak?
To: 70times7
Thank you lord high Obama, for telling them to plug the hole. What would we do without your forceful leadership?
This will be the meme of the old dying lying lame stream media for the next month - count on it.

Perhaps they ‘feel’ some good news will relieve the pressure of the whole situation.

“Anyone who doesnt understand that should still be in a highchair”
What a patronizing comment. Any professional oil techie who didn’t have this “idea” on the shelf, to deal with a potential catastrophic failure of the blowout preventer at any depth being drilled .... should be sent to military planning school. Captains and Majors could help them think ahead and plan for the unthinkable, then step aside while the exceptionally brilliantly condescending engineers do it.
To: Scythian
The oil leak has stopped and it's only a coincidence that the live feed has also stopped ... Trust me, there is no leak ...

They are moving the ROV’s around to different levels of the BOP stack to make sure that they have not blown out a valve from the pumping pressures. They will go back to the riser soon. When it shows that the flow has stopped, then you know that the cement plug is in place.

He did not go out to the rig to visit. That would have shut down all operations for two days, and required all other ships to leave the area.

There have been no video of any leaks for the last hour or so.
