Regardless of their course of action I applaud their tenacity in attacking this problem. I’m glued to my PC just wondering what will happen next!
Cap coming into position!
And I am becoming convinced they would have been doing a lot better if they were not constantly being controlled by our ever expanding gov’t who has no experience in this situation directing them all the time, and a scrutinizing public expecting to snap their fingers and get the results they want. I wonder if the latter issue is why BP was moving so fast from one plan to another, abandoning top kill so quickly then immediately stopping with the saw when it jammed and then frantically trying to smooth it now. It does seem they have to not just get it done, but get it done *right now* to appease the public. I actually feel at this point that if something really bad does happen once the seal is put on, part of the blame will fall on people who demand instant results and try to force these workers to give it to them.
