Holy shit, the oil is stopped!
I just watched them drop this new contraption on top of the well's blow out preventer. It took all of 10 seconds and there isn't a drop of oil coming out into the ocean anymore!
All the feeds can be seen here. http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/bp-...spill-cam.html

Re: Holy shit, the oil is stopped!
I've been sitting here watching these live feeds for the last 2 hours waiting for them to do this so i could see it happen live. Never in a million years did I think they'd actually make it work, give the three months of failure leading up to this now. I'm amazed.

Re: Holy shit, the oil is stopped!
you just better hope it has pressure and holds pressure because if loses pressure or doesn't have any to begin with then that means the oil is leaking under the sea floor

That's good! Finally some good news for a change. Now that that has happened our gas prices will start going up.

Re: Holy shit, the oil is stopped!
The news media is seeing the same thing I'm seeing. But they're not going to call it until some official word comes from the command center. And they're not going to call it until they're sure it isn't going to fall apart in an hour. So give it time for the officials to be all official. Officially, it is going good. Unofficially, it's nailed.
