Default Re: BP Oil leak live video feed

Right now (11:38AM CDT, June 2nd) it looks like they've made progress on the latest attempt and even slowed the flow somewhat.

I know they were working on chopping off the bent/damaged pipe so they'd have a clean end to work with to try to catch as much as they can until they can get the relief wells drilled (August or later).

If they hadn't paid off politicians (lots of 'em of all stripes) to let them get away with skimping on the safety measures and doing a poor job of the ones they did do we wouldn't have this mess. A good quality blow-out preventer properly installed and set might have even prevented the whole thing.
