On what basis do you make that statement. There was blowout in '79...in 200 feet of water and it was not stopped for nine months...using the same identical procedures that are being used today. It was not stopped until the relief wells were drilled which took nine months. BTW...it was pumping 30,000 barrels per day into the Gulf. The only thing different today...hopefully...drilling technology may have improved to the point that it will not take nine months to drill relief wells.
