GraveDigger Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 BP didn't pack the casing with cement. (What I am saying is that there is space between the hole that was drilled and the casing that goes down into the middle of the hole. If they try to cap it, it will cause the casing to rupture and then we will be even more f***ed. Same thing with an explosive approach--FUBAR.) This has not been made public but I happen to know some people in the know here in Houston and thats the biggest reason that they have come to an impasse. They cant blow it. They are going to have to have several relief taps drilled. BP would never have done such a shitty job in the north sea. f***ing bastards--they come to my backyard and screw it up. I hope some people burn in hell for the decisions that have been made regarding the whole travesty. All about trying to save a few dollars. Lets also not forget about the 11 men that died for no reason. Quote

eagle7wolfensteiner77 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 True, let's not forget the 11 dead, all the dead marine life and helpless animals and additionally also the people's lives who will be affected forever. Restaurant owners, fishermen, and pretty much everyone else in the areas affected. I'm checking out that Popular Mechanics link Grave. Scary stuff. I hope they fix it. Soon. Quote
Desu Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I read about petroleum-consuming bacterias in my course of study. They can be very effective due to their fast reproduction. Why can't we use that? Quote
