Something happened and it was scary there for a few minutes. It looked like there was a blow out or something, then it looked like the force blew the camera away from the spill. Maybe that’s why they camera is now way over there behind the equipment. There is no question that something happened.
Do you think it had something to do with the diagnostics they were trying to run?
Engineers were doing at least 12 hours of diagnostic tests Tuesday. They planned to check five spots on the well's crippled five-story blowout preventer to make sure it could withstand the heavy force of the mud. A weak spot in the device could blow under the pressure, causing a brand new leak.
Is this the same thing you described seeing yesterday, or another incident today? I’m trying to keep a little track but can’t spend a huge amount of time on FR today.
This is so dreadful I’ve tried to avoid reading anything about it for weeks but I figured it’s better not to remain in ignorance.
