Per Coast Guard, the Cap has been moved into place above the well, and BP will begin lowering it onto the well within the next ‘couple’ hours.
Due to the irregular cut from the Shear they are not sure how much leakage they will have,but anticipate that it will be more that if the diamond cut had worked as they won’t be able to get a complete seal now.

Thanks, I just saw an article on Drudge with a picture of a what looked like a jagged edge at a distance. But if you look at the very close up of the other end that Viking 1 showed you see a pretty darn clean cut. I think some of what they're thinking is jagged edge is really puffs of oil streaming over the edge. Besides the seal will seal below the diamond saw cut which is way below the "irregular" cut.
Look for this administration and the MSM to make light of what happened today. They're going after our heroes and we need to put a stop to it...

Just watching this, I wonder why they don’t seal the cap on the OD of the flanges?

I thought the Kent Wells demo showed the cap was already on the ocean floor and just needed to be lifted into position
via fumbles and the yellow strap maybe? :-)
