I hope its true too...yesterday they said it was stopped but the cameras showed it clearly pumping away, not even touched, then, they shut the camera off. Seems that even though it has been giving a live feed for 36 days, as soon as they said the leak was stopped...the camera 'dies'. I dunno...
I mentioned something about taking 5 of the people in this forum, putting them in a room for a few hours and having a solution. Im betting in 5 MINUTES they could have come up with the solution that they decided on. This thing has been a disaster since day one. I HOPE that all politics aside they finally get this stopped and get underway with the cleanup.

How do you know it was oil you were seeing and not the mud?
Well er er hmm it was brown in color so must be oil yeah?
Even BP is now saying they won't know until Sunday whether or not the 'Top Kill' method is working. The color of what is coming out of the hole now is clearly different than before they started this, but to it the fact that it is still coming up tells me that it hasn't worked... yet...
The mud they're pumping in needs time to solidify, especially since it had to first build up in a channel which is under pressure. That takes time.
It makes sense that the well would still leak out, but as time goes on the flow will lessen.
My dad works for the MMS. BP has NOT plugged the leak. My father receives hourly updates directly from the command center in Houston and while they are making progress, they have definitely NOT plugged this leak. The coast guard was incorrect.
This isn't breaking news, its flat out wrong.
Did you not see the monkey feet or are you trying to sneak some vile racist crap in here.
That's really sickening--there's an obvious allusion to a monkey in a zoo throwing his ****. You can't be that ignorant. You have to know how totally inappropriate this.
Why don't you go post that on Stormfront?

I thought they looked like a Baboons feet, could be wrong though!
I heard a Coast Guard official on the radio this morning say that no oil is getting out of the well while the mud is being pumped, that what we see coming out of the well is just mud. It was suggested that even if the top-kill project doesn't work, that we keep pumping mud into the well until the relief wells are finished since doing so has stopped the oil spill.
If top-kill doesn't work then the next step is to slice off the top half of the BOP and attach a dome to it to suck the oil up to tankers.
Purely out of curiosity I'd like to know how many tons of mud they're using and how many tens of thousands of golf balls they have used to assist with plugging the hole.

Obama bristled at the notion that the White House response has “lacked urgency” — only to admit, minutes later, that planned reforms of the federal agency monitoring deep water exploration, in fact, lacked “sufficient urgency.”
After he assumed unequivocal responsibility for the spill response, he proceeded to equivocate — blaming Bush-era deregulation, his predecessor’s failure to draft an adequate spill response plan and BP’s arrogance in overlooking flaws in their safety systems.
And he seemed downright uncertain on the circumstances surrounding the departure of Minerals Management Service director S. Elizabeth Birnbaum. “C’mon, I don’t know,” he said at one point, when pressed on whether she quit or was fired.
