Wish I could say I was shocked because 12 hours ago they were not pumping in drilling mud — wonder if they used too much pressure or it is the fact that what works on land may not work in the ocean with pressure on the tube.
Couldn’t believe when I read tonight at the NY Times that BP has not been putting drilling mud in the hole for 24 hours. Wonder if they saw more cracks developing?
Pumping mud is just eye wash to make it look like they are doing something , evidently from what I’ve read the last thing they want is to suddenly plug it, if they do , it will blow out farther down and the pressurized oil will just be more out of control, possibly making a relief well impossible
