Does the won or doesn’t the won have the cajones to preempt the all star game to make an announcement? I am guessing he demands a 8-820ish slot from the networks tomorrow night.

Yeah, they lowered the cap but there’s still a 12” or so hole at the top of the cap!

The Capping Stack is in place but the oil is still flowing through the Capping Stack.

There are a lot on hydraulic lines and other connections to be made before they can test pressures and such.

If you are watching Fox News the idiot Shep has no idea what he is saying!!! He has said the oil is stopped and it is not stopped yet!

Thank you, Mr. Obama, for getting the well capped.

Yup...he went down in a diving suit and did it all himself.

As I understand it it’s not capped... They can now just capture all the leakage.

Again?

Is this the final cap?

Or the final final cap?

Or will there be a final, final, final cap?

Good news! And “Good Job” to the engineers and workers who got it done.

My sentiments exactly. The HEROES here are the BP technicians that SOLVED this problem. The Politicians will step in front of them into the spotlight ... but it was always the techies and geeks guiding the ROV's, pouring over engineering programs to devise the new cap, etc. We'll never even get to know their names ... but they are on my personal "A List". Congratulations to the unknown heroes. And as angry as people might be at BP ... don't forget, yes, they caused the problem but ONLY THEY could solve it, and it looks like they have.
