Stopped pumping at 11 pm last night, in fact...
One lovely nasty mess. Best they could do was reduce the flow, not lower it enough to stop the leaking...
Yet there were media reports earlier today saying that the "Top Shot" had worked in stopping the oil leak.
I wonder if 0bama knew of this failure which occurred some 14 hours before his botched press conference. If he did, he most certainly was not truthful or "transparent" in stating that "Top Shot #1" still had a chance of success.
