Great footage, great link, continuous live feed, without having to constantly reload.
Yep, I would gestimate it's putting out atleast 120,000 barrells a day, just a good guess, but it is cranking out the destruction.
I think (but truly hope not) that BP is in for a big surprise when they try to mud/cement this sucker.
It is like trying to stop a frieght train. It would take so much pressure to stop and reverse the flow of this monster that I am afraid of on little stress crack in that pipe from the accident and the pipe will open up like a sardine can.
I hope this is not the case, but the percentage of success in my opinion is less than 10 percent, with a probability of unforeseen doom hitting the 50 plus percent.
Boy, I guess I woke up with my glass half empty this morning. Well, married for 14plus years will do that to a guy:)
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 792204Women have an uncanny ability to drag a guy down. Fuckin' bitches! Anyway... Top Kill could stop spill or make it worse If it's not done just right, it could make the leak worse. Bob Bea, an engineering professor at the University of California at Berkeley, said the procedure carries a high risk of failure because of the velocity at which the oil may be spewing. If some of the higher estimates of 3 million to 4 million gallons a day are correct, "it's going to spit everything back in your face," Bea told The Associated Press. He estimated that anything above 1.6 million gallons a day would be too much for a top kill to work. [ link to www.wwltv.com]
