Article stating what most have suggested

basically...

1.) the thickness of the casing is a huge concern

2.) even if they could capture all of the oil they would have to keep releasing some to control the pressure.

3.) The BOP is listing and could tip over


I'm glad they are starting to admit these things.

Well... We saw most of that here first, and even came up with most of it ourselves here on ATS...

Scary amazing...

If the well casing burst it could send oil and gas streaming through the strata to appear elsewhere on the sea floor, or create a crater underneath the wellhead - a device placed at the top of the well where the casing meets the seafloor - that would destabilize it and the blowout preventer.

Ok so now that this is all true... What do we do?


Thank you for this addition.... More and more details are coming out...

there are some good views of the wells from the rovers tonight if you are interested. I guess BP likes to do a lot of work while most of the nation is sleeping.
