Where’s the /sarc tag?

I appreciate your countering my speculation with some facts. I can’t even begin to imagine working in water 5000 feet below sea level at, what, 2000 psi pressures? I’m not trying to make light of the challenge they face in stopping this oil leak, it just seemed that the methods being used were intended to save the well.
You are saying the well is lost, so thank you for clearing that up. I wouldn’t have thought that the pipe wall thickness would be so severely degraded with the mud pumped in but then I can’t begin to appreciate the mud’s pressure or velocity during the pumping operation.
I hope they fix this soon. We can’t wait until August to stop the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mississippi.
After all the just bought the biggest cleanup company right before this happened.
At least they hedge their bets.
if nothing else, and it probably is NOTHING else, obama is knocking the stuffing out of the notion that government is the answer to any problem for a very, very long time.
