Someone has to say this - why didn’t they do this sooner?
supposedly, they learned from earlier mistakes till they nailed it. OR if you prefer.......the obama administration finally allowed them to take action without sabotaging them.
Are you aware that EACH one of these caps had to be MANUFACTURED FROM SCRATCH, HAULED TO THE SITE AND PRECISELY LOWERED INTO PLACE ON TOP OF A HOLE 22 INCHES IN DIAMETER, A MILE DOWN UNDER THE WATER WITH OIL GUSHING OUT AT 6500 PSI?............and this latest one weighed 157,000 pounds...........
I read someone that obama and the Feds were against it. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Never been done at that depth and there was a lot of concern that it would topple the BOP - which it still might do. I hope they anchor the thing before it falls over.
