This is the third time in three days that the media has announced it failed, I guess they’re going to keep at it until they finally get it right. The actual news conference is at 2pm PDT, in about 25 minutes. What Doug apparently said this morning is that the effort hasn’t stopped the flow. Stopping the flow isn’t going to happen until the well is under control, which would be the last step of Top Kill. The more important issue is how far down the well they’ve been able to push the mud, and how much pressure reduction they’ve monitored. They said last night that it’d be 24 to 48 hours before they had a handle on whether it was working. We’ll see if Suttles has anything to offer that actually changes that during the press conference.
osama knows how to putsch mud.
