and a video of Wells' visit to DDIII, also posted Sunday, including brief interviews with Boots & Coots' John Wright and other BP and Transocean personnel on the rig and in the Houston center.

6/27 Relief Well Overview

DDIII is a new rig - RW1 is the second well it has drilled. As someone who has never been, and will never be, on an oil rig, I found it interesting to get a brief glimpse of the work areas and the sizeable array of mud pumps.

Any guesses as to how many of our esteemed political & media experts have taken to effort to watch this, to educate themselves as to the techniques & goals of this process?

Naaaa, it is much easier to “look for somebody’s A&& to kick” or opine that “it is time to blow the well”.

Idiots in charge in the White House, former White House idiots dancing in the spotlight!

They are too busy trying to use this to ram cap & trade through to pay attention to what is really going on.

I can’t view the various links that require Flash Player 10 or higher due to my old ME system not doing a proper install of FP10. But thats ok. I get the over all drift of this post.
