BP ditches "Operation Top Hat" Moves to Insertion Tube to Stop Oil Spill

[Nathanael]

This is the latest update on BP's containment plans:


The Deepwater Horizon Incident Response Center has just issued an update saying that their plans to use a containment dome to contain the estimated 70,000 barrel-a-day oil leak have been scrapped as the "next course of action."

BP - the company responsible for the containment of this leak - is now opting to use an "insertion tube" that will be pushed into the pipe using a remote controlled vehicle.

1. They could get in a little practice by

trying to stick a wet noodle up a bobcat's ass.

2. THEY are proving they don't understand the ocean at all.

they have been throwing in pain thinner to 'clean up' the oil, too. makes about as much sense as most republican run businesses.

3. If it wasn't so damned serious

it would remind me of Wile E. Coyote's schemes to get the Road Runner.
