6. I haven't been following to closely tonight, but sure looks something under pressure is blowing out
a bunch. It's not as black as it was. Still looks like hell to me.

7. They said earlier it was mud.
And that was a good sign. I'm assuming it's still mud. I don't know, though.

9. Mud is supposed to be gushing out. This specific mud hardens at high pressures.
It will continue to harden, and eventually it should seal the well. So eventually the mud should gradually stop gushing out. But right now the mud gushing out means that top kill is working.

10. Ha ha, read some of the comments at the linked article.
Edited on Thu May-27-10 03:40 AM by Lasher
People are coming up with brainstorms to solve the problem. Here's one:

Why not fly up to the moon and cut out a piece to plug it up? PLEASE!!! If we can go to the moon then we can plug up a hole here on earth!!! Where are these other countries who have submersibles or anything to help us? As usual, we are on our own! But we would be there for them-I'd rather be an American than one of them!!!!!

Edit:

Sarah Palin and her friends can sit thier fat butt's on the hole and sing "drill baby drill"

15. It probably won't
They just throw stupid shit ideas at it to mollify the "Just do SOMETHING" crowd, while waiting for the relief wells to get to the proper depth and truly solve the problem. Apparently, it makes for some interesting Internet TV for some people.
