Soooooooo I logged into youtube and looked up bp oil spill and at the end i was horrified...
there saying they arent able to close the hole and might continue for longer??

other articles saying they have other methods to close it
as in. throwing mud then cement as sealant??

other says old tires,golf balls and ropes??

Wow this is getting crazy...

Anyone heard anything neww?? :thinking:

Should have put a shut off valve at the source but what do I know. Hole in the ground, shut off valve, then blow out diverter.That is what I think.

it blows my mind to think they dont have a shutoff valve on something that major.

Should put a wedding band on it. Everyone knows that when you put a ring on it it quits putting out.

SAME MOTHER FUCKING THING I THOUGHT WHEN I MADE MY COMMENT ABOVE! America acts as if they not in war still. Ever since it "stoped" in Iraq, everyone seems to forget that america is still in war. lolol fuking americans.

It had a shutoff valve that failed....

It had 3 separate shutoff valves and they all failed. The control panel for all 3 valves ran on the same battery, which was dead.

They had been doing different tests on the well for several weeks and it had been failing the different types of tests they were doing consistently.

BP, Halliburton, and Trans-Ocean all knew the well was failing the tests and tried to pass the buck amongst each other while they continued to drill the well. All 3 organizations have exhibited a criminal level of negligence.

If I were the Prez, somebody at each of these companies would be losing their balls over this shit.
