BP says siphon tube is working

Well there you go, problem solved, no shorelines devastated, no methane fueled, tsunami hurricanes (that was a good one), you can all move on to your normal doom and gloom lives.

BP spokesman Mark Proegler said the contraption was hooked up successfully and sucking most of the oil from the leak. Engineers remotely guiding robot submersibles had worked since Friday to place the tube into a 21-inch pipe nearly a mile below the sea.

The sucking generally seems to come from the same place ever ytime and it's easy to set up shop in a brand new thread and there's so much to be gained Monday morning! . Just wondering what the working hours are today...who will the tag team be and wondering if the avatar of our esteemed OP will be a man or a woman? I mean that is really what I am wondering about.

As for the Gulf....pfffffffffffffffft. You have some time to invest in this catastrophe if you do a little digging around, I would but my computer is not fast enough!

Duh, the only permanent fix is the secondary hole.
BUT this repair will stop the oil from leaking into your precious oceans...

and thus catastrophy FAIL.

Tell that to horses and BP. Our local barn door guy.

BP inserts Siphon Into Oilleak

MAY 16, 2010, 4:13 P.M. ET

It's still unclear whether the new siphoning operation will work. Even in the best-case scenario, the tube won't capture all the leaking oil.

PT barnum actually never said that. That quote was attributed to him through some good publicity, the quote was actually first said by one of his rivals when asked about allegations of fake exhibits.

And now you know.

They say the same on CNN there is now way to tall if the tubes will even contain 500 gallons a day!!!!!!!!!! they have to wait and see

Hey Just Wondering i was"just wondering"does BP pay by the thread or the post
this is like you 3rd or 4th thread in defense of BP?????????????????

reply to post by Just Wondering


Before you and BP run around knee-slappin' and high-fivin', let's see a video of the leak and get a new estimate of how much is still leaking. Then let's see what happens when the oil enters the Gulf loop current, etc....

how long should we wait for the catastrophy before we can move on to another one?

Most people would spell that 'catastrophe'. I'm just wondering how long ATS is going to tolerate you as a paid dis-info operative, troll or just generally nasty person. Glad I'm not working to pay the rent on a Sunday...but I'm sure you'll get a nice vacation on some pristine stretch of beach (not on the Gulf Coastline) right soon. Do send pics.

No need to wait, it's already here except being hidden somewhat for a little while. Your flippancy over disaster, IMO indicates that you are a long long way from the Gulf of Mexico, and have no roots or concerns anywhere near the region. Besides oil revenues maybe.
