Given the way things have gone, this is pretty much a guarantee it won’t be in 12 to 24 hours. Whether sooner or later is the big guess.

“BP says 12 to 24 hours before cap goes on.”

That story was posted 7 hours ago, and the comments it is referencing were made this morning.

You're welcome, maybe they're waiting on getting video feeds restored to the Enterprise ROVs before proceeding...

Enterprise feeds are back up, all the wires have been pulled away.

and all the rovs look to be in a holding pattern.

Maybe they were just ordered to wait until the ONE gets down there tomorrow - so he can helicopter out to the ship and command “CAP THE DAMN HOLE!”

I don’t know if anyone has asked the obvious question, but ...

what happened to top hats 1, 2, and 3?

Did top hat #4 lose a bet?

They made multiple caps to fit different cut sizes and shapes. #4 is the lucky stuckie!

IMHO nothing will happen until Enterprise video feed is stable.

Given that this is pretty much the best TV show ever, we’re lucky BP hasn’t started running commercials.

I was just doing some math trying to put the amount of oil leaking into some perspective. None of this will help to clean a beach or save a bird, but it could dispute those who have been arguing (some on this board) that this spill is going to destroy all life in the Gulf, etc.. I found an article that had already done all the math for me on the Huffington Post. This is interesting:

Here's another way to think of just how much oil has gushed out since April 20: At worst, it's enough to fill 102 school gymnasiums to the ceiling with oil.

That's nothing compared to the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico, where there are 643 quadrillion gallons. Even under the worst case scenario, the Gulf has five billion drops of water for every drop of oil. And the mighty Mississippi River pours 3.3 million gallons of new water into Gulf every second.

Under the rosiest scenario, little more than four gyms would be filled. That's how the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration visualizes oil spill volumes on one of its websites.

When they start scrolling "OBAMA in 2012" you'll know it's a success.

For the record, the man resposible for the additional 4 trillion dollar deficit this year said we should all read HuffPo.
