The cam is FAKE! I adjust the gallons and so forth. It looks like a loop and not live.

Just an update on the "top kill" attempt that BP is undertaking at the moment - I have friends in the oil industry in Louisiana, and one of them helped plan the operation that is now underway. He says that as of the last several minutes, it's showing encouraging signs. The color and appearance of the material that's ejecting from the leak has changed. He says that the mud they're trying to pump in appears to be working it's way down into the hole, and if it continues to do so, the attempt should succeed. Too soon to tell for sure whether it's going to work, but it's looking good 3 hours in.

I'm crossing my fingers; they tried that with Ixtoc I and all it did was start leaking below the wellhead. Took 281 days to bring that blowout under control, after 3 attempts at drilling a relief well. quote: ORIGINAL: ThatDamnedPanda Just an update on the "top kill" attempt that BP is undertaking at the moment - I have friends in the oil industry in Louisiana, and one of them helped plan the operation that is now underway.

quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic I think plugging the damn hole with the top 10 or 12 bosses of BP would do the trick, the guys who cut corners or those who gave the orders or ignored warnings if thats not enough, send down a bunch of drill baby drill proponents. While I totally agree with the idea, I think we have done enough damage to the environment down there, without adding more garbage. Just saying[:)]

heh you have a point there

Step up to the plate and answer the hard questions a little more often than once in ten months for one thing. Why hide? Come out of the closet, look us in the eye and be a proud Marxist. quote: ORIGINAL: ThatDamnedPanda What do you expect from a Marxist?

I look at that leaking pipe and I look at Sarah Palin and I'm thinking hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

There are a few who persistantly ask tough questions, but they're becoming more rare. Especially if the prez is a Dem

DCWoody -> RE: Plug the damn hole!!! (5/26/2010 9:05:52 PM)
I may have mentioned before, the dual rules on some sites...A:no trolling, B:no being so annoying/weird/dumb/partisan that we might suspect you're trolling. Ofc, round here that'd be a fairly drastic cut to the boards population.

brainiacsub -> RE: Plug the damn hole!!! (5/26/2010 9:09:54 PM)
Ya know, if he were ever accidently killed by a pack of wolverines while trolling about in those woods, CM would surely miss him. He's single handedly kept about 5 threads going in recent days. He is both consistent and tenacious in his misguided thinking. <edited to add: Woody, you and I were thinking the same thing...lol>

ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: Plug the damn hole!!! (5/26/2010 9:33:31 PM)
That would require active moderation, though. And unfortunately Collarme has no real moderation policies. They have this theory that really annoying posters will be Darwined out of the herd as they burn through their credibility, but what they fail to comprehend is that the most obnoxious posters couldn't care less about peer approval. And so here we are, and here we will remain. One never-ending clown show after another.

DCWoody -> RE: Plug the damn hole!!! (5/26/2010 9:42:05 PM)
Wait, I'm lost......in the usa.....big oil is on the left-wing? Or is it the 'problem? bomb it!' attitude?

pahunkboy -> RE: Plug the damn hole!!! (5/27/2010 3:58:20 AM)
So is a troll a government dis-information agent?

quote: ORIGINAL: ThatDamnedPanda quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead I see. I'd thought that they'd have liquid oxygen or compressed air mixed in with the other tinned stuff they use. Well, the way it works is, the fuel has to mix with the air and form a huge cloud, of several thousand cubic meters. You just can't get that effect at the pressures you'd find at 5,000 feet below the surface. The only way a nuke would work (assuming it even would work) is if you could drill down to a point well below the sea floor and place the warhead very close to the drillhole. You could never drill a big enough hole to accommodate a fuel-air explosive. Thanks. I didn't think a nuke would work down there anyway, but I didn't know that about the other.
