Great news if true. It’s shameful that it took this long.
Actual engineering takes time - BP has accomplished this very rapidly.
I know that it is all in vogue to believe that any problem can be solved in 42 minutes or less plus commercials. People need to step away from their TVs and computers more and do something with their hands and backs occasionally.
A simple suggestion - rebuild the engine and transmission of your car, then pick up a used commercial freezer unit and rebuild it. I won’t even suggest that you attempt to do them 5000 feet away from your location, and that they first be placed inside a pressure vessel with 2100 psi. or even under water.
Why didn’t this get done sooner? Anyone who doesn’t understand that should still be in a highchair.
