So, It's over?

Hurricane bonnie passed and nothing happend, and i just heard on the radio they are going to bring the workers back in to permanitly fill the hole with cement.

The cap is leaking. It looks like it is leaking from a rivit. I hope it holds until they can seal it for good.

Bonnie never turned into a hurricaine. It was a tropical storm at one point, but was downgraded to a tropical depression.

Believe me, I watched it like a hawk since I live on the coast in Mississippi.

My brother-in-law was pulled in yesterday from an oil platform, but sent back out today at about 3:00 p.m. He works about 50 miles off shore from Louisiana.

YOU AINT SEEN NOTHIN YET.

It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

Now quit clowning around and get back out there and lets win one for the Gipper!

Hurricane seasons is just starting. It won't be long before there will be more Corexit, Oil, Methane and all other kinds of nice chemicals washing ashore. Be patient.

Yessir, it's over! Pack your bags and head on home! Time to enjoy normal life again, with sheen covered waters and the scent of petrol on the air. Beautiful!

Sarcasm aside... Just because BP and the media say that the gusher is capped and stopped does not mean that it's over. You see, by stating that the cap worked, BP is now off the hook in terms of providing live feeds and other updates. This news of significant progress and success will also do a great deal in terms of subduing the public and giving people a sense that everything is now okay. They will soon forget that there is still one hell of a mess in the Gulf. With all the attention turned elsewhere, BP can take their time with the "clean up" while milking the money cow and acting like they are helping to save the planet.

thank god it's over -now tony hayward can get on with his life..

oh yeah....its over. it was never really that big of a problem.

It will be over when the well is completely killed and the cleanup is finished. Hopefully the wildlife will come back and flourish. I don't even want to think about the corexit.

I never thought that it would be the ELE that many people predicted and I could still be wrong, but I pray I'm not. This fiasco has done enough damage. My thoughts are prayers are those who are still suffering from this event.

**imagining B**** slapping Tony** Yeah....it's over.....unless you live here. I don't think the fat lady has sung yet.....has she?

What I find interesting, is in this article:

www.cnn.com...

it states that most of the oil has been "collected", "dispersed", or "evaporated".

"On the cleanup front, 74 percent of the oil that leaked from the well since the drilling rig sank in April has been collected, has dispersed or has evaporated, according to a government report released Wednesday."

Wait a minute. Didn't we have all these "experts" on here some time ago explain that oil doesn't evaporate??

Confusing times.

Mmmmm hmmmmmm.....I think that is what they are counting on.....confusion....then exasperation....and HOPING we will get sick of it and stop paying attention. After all, this is really affecting BP's "reputation" AND thier pocketbook. I. for one, will NEVER take my eye off those crooks!

Yes, It looks to be over. No marshal law, no mass evacuation of the gulf, no millions dead, no mass extinction of sea life. Most of the oil is gone. What a surprise the doomsayers were wrong again.

Things are going to be ok. Purchased BP stock at around $27 a share during all the panic and doom. Like they say, never let a good crisis go to waste.

I'm not a doomsday person at all. Maybe it will be ok in other places, but where I sit (gulf coast), we won't be fine for quite some time. Good luck with your stocks (I mean that)

they really need to just get rid of this whole deepwater discussion...people are just going to keep hyping nothing.
