Very interesting.

I think all oil currently in the Gulf should be granted amnesty.
Is the flow coming out of the view from Enterprise – ROV 1 the top?
I told you guys they’re gonna hang Napolitano on one side and Sotomayer on the other
So is the riser to the surface already connected?
Man, I would SURE love to see BP have some success here.. on the day when James Cameron called them “morons”.
Any minute now Scuba Soetero is going to show up in the ROV feed.
James Cameron - Hollyweird genius
(I hate BP for another reason but I’m rooting for them on this one)
yea... I’ve never been a fan of BP... but, we NEED them to have some success here.
The Lockerbie bomber deal?
I think it was the pipe on top of the hat. What I am not sire of is if there is a pump on the platform about 20 feet above the hat.
You need at least three points to make it stable.

Get Kagan, too.
I dont know, Hopefully there is not so much pressure that the valve breaks off or cannot close and hopefully ice crystals don’t clog it again. I do know they have taken some preventive measures for these things but it is very unpredictable situation. It shoudl be remembered that everything they are trying now has also failed before in many cases also, key example being the Ixtoc leak in 79, so they are desperately trying to improve these techniques. I am just praying nothing happens like the seal breaking off or ice cloging it or the seal being forced open by the oil. From there, any coverage will be irrelevant as it will be reported as a failure anyway when it doesnt get all the oil.
It’s actually been a huge success.. We just like giving them a hard time. ;)
“I told you guys they’re gonna hang Napolitano on one side and Sotomayer on the other”
And Kagen is going to swim ‘round and ‘round groping them as she goes.
What I meant was once they get the seal fastened on, and it doesnt blow or get forced off and ice doesnt clog it, then media coverage will be irrelevant as it will be deemed a failure for not getting all the oil, a la RITT
BP ran a price fixing scheme on propane in 2003
it was painful since that was my home heating fuel
unfortunately the penalty they paid — $300 million — went to the US govt not the consumers who got screwed
