POSTED elsewhere: Anybody here think BP wants to stop leak? 8 minutes ago
Anybody here really think that BP even wants to stop the leak before they get the other line drilled?
If they really wanted to stop this leak weeks ago, they can place a large heavy Kevlar sandbag over the larger leaking pipe on the ocean floor to slow down the pressure escaping, then insert a proper mud mixture of Barium sulphate - Barite, or with Calcite, Hematite then pump it in with proper pressure to counteract the formation pressure and clog the hydraulic head weight of the well, then seal it off. If they don't slow down the big leaking pipe, the mud will escape under it's current high pressure and diameter.
#1 There is 4000 Million barrels of oil in the current leaking Tiber oilfield alone, not to mention trillions of cf of NG. It's a massive find and they don't want to lose it.
#2 That's not the only deep drill site in the Gulf they have going with huge Oil & NG deposits. If Tiber is closed due to this leak, then what about the other sites they and several others have in the deep water Gulf?

* Containment box was designed to save some of the leaking oil. Did they make any effort to stop the leak before the recent mud pump?
* After box failed a line was inserted to also save some of the lost oil while most of it was still leaking.
* The recent mud pump went way beyond the original 10-12 hours, and the pipe on the ocean floor is way to big to stop leaking with top kill. While this mud pump is being delayed, the other drill is drilling down to relieve the pressure and to bring up the oil. They will relieve it as long as possible and seal the current leak, but likely refuse to shut down the new line using applicable reasons.
* Yesterday the TV showed Obama at the beach with BP workers cleaning up the beach. All seemed good on TV, however CNN reported that when Obama left, so did the workers that BP hired.
* BP said "it a tiny spill." * Yesterday BP said "it's a natural disaster." * I see miles of legal plays while nothing is being cleaned.
THERE IS MUCH MORE MORE IMPORTANT STUFF GOING ON THAN MEETS THE EYES. Anybody want more info?
