I'm so happy you have finally caught up with the thread...
But don't jump for joy yet people, mud is highly abrasive, so now it is a race against the clock to keep pressure on the leak, not blow the BOP or manifold to pieces or erode them to the point of uselessness and pump cement down hole. 52 posted on Thursday, May 27, 2010 2:24:40 PM by ScreamingFist [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies | Report Abuse]
It'd be even better if you could catch up, and stop trying to save face and admit that nothing has changed since this morning and the early statements of Admiral Allen which others have declined to agree with.
Saying that plugging the leaks is a long process is not some profound statement. We've been told that by BP all along, for weeks, for each attempt they've made.
My statements, which are entirely correct, have been that we have no new information since this morning, and that success has not been declared by those in a position to judge the success or failure.
