I would have thought they would lower it over the top, but they’re going in side ways?

Just checked out their feed...it looks to this rank amateur like it might be working.The amount of crude that I see (or *think* I see) sure looks to be *much* less than what I’ve seen as recently as earlier today.

I think you have to find a way to secure something that stays in an open position and then close it slowly like a gate valve.

What ever they close it with should have pictures of Obama all over it.

Open the link in a new browser window or tab, you might have to allow for an active x control to run

Yes, especially when you consider the enormous pressure on the well from that mile of seawater on top of it.
