"Sounds like we’re pretty much right back to day one all around."

Not at all. There is now infrastructure in place to handle things quickly. BP predicted that the cap would be replaced in ten or so hours. And I'll bet some joystick jockey is missing several chunks of buttocks-meat.

OTOH, I wonder if this might accelerate the placement of the new "bolt-on" cap, which would eliminate the possiblity of this type incident.

I was wondering about as well. I have heard some news sources say that plan has already been deemed a failure as they were not able to remove any of the bolts needed, but now I am way past the point of believing so much as a syllable that comes from any coverage of this at face value. Maybe they will now go for that instead from here.
