They FINALLY capped the BP oil well.........
 

Looks like that "cap" seems to have worked


Just saw it on the news and the video showed no more oil gushing out...

Lets see what happens..

About time,although it will takes years to recover from this

none of the feeds shows the gushing

it will take decades...

this will prob hit the news wires soon if it is "legit"

i hope this works!

watching Fox news now they are waiting for the "official word"

the damage is done. the gulf looks like the hotti family took a bath in it.

seems to have worked according to the video

:thumbsup:thumbsup its about time

we only see the damage on surface - wait until the shit is carried all over the seas by the gulf stream :( and when (until) it hits the pole ... good night to a lotta creatures :(

Heard this on twitter earlier. -- BP finally found something that worked. They took off the cap and put a ring on the leak, and immediately it stopped putting out.

Finally! Now they need to finish the two wells to permanently fix this.

Gas rates skyrocket in an attempt to further push the green agenda on people who have no money, and no jobs to speak of. The middle class is forced down, and everyone without shitloads of money learns to live like the third world all over again.

or am I getting a few years ahead of myself?

let the back patting begin.

finally! :2 cents:

Finally! :thumbsup

Fake. lol

Time to buy stock in BP again

its A "CAP DREAM"

It just popped off and fire is shooting out.

How many rounds of golf did Obama play while this catastrophe unfolded and before it was fixed?

Still leaking some now - :(

Finally, the BP CEO can have his life back. Whew.

it is far from over...

He plays a lot of golf, I won't argue that.

But what exactly is Obama supposed to personally do about this?

It was about time. Let's see what happens in the future.

At least he didn't say "we're going to cap that well...now watch this drive".

They probably did what Keanu Reeves did in Speed - stopped it for a minute or two and are looping that video. :P

i saw a mermaid swim by :helpme

i'd say its only a matter of time before its spewing again sadly.

BP stock is up 10%+ today, over 40% up from the 52 week low few weeks ago :thumbsup

And you obtained your degree in Petroleum Engineering just where?

what was he supposed to do? Go down and put the cap on ?:Oh crap

I read they wouldn't begin testing til tuesday as they still had yet to close the valves..
but wtfever its a yahoo news article..

Petrol seems to have gone down a little bit here for some reason.

I don't think it's a "cap" per say. Their intention was to never cap it and or shut it down. I think their intent was to simply place a new "nozzle" on it and continue pumping oil from it. No sense is shutting down a money maker. If they wanted to cap it, they could've done that a few days after it started to leak.

You didn't hear, Fletch capped it. He put his scuba steve suit on and dove down to the bottom with the new top hat on his back and got it all tight in place. You should have saw it on the video it was awesome. He will be adding the pictures that a sea turtle took for him to his site shortly. stay tuned. :thumbsup

The only reason it was closed was to test the pressure to find out if there are other undetected cracks / leaks. It won't remain closed.

You people are popping the champagne a little bit early.

Their videos show that it's still leaking....

And I haven't found any reliable source saying the leaking stopped...

Fox news is bullshit :)

anyway, they should have done something with this weeks ago.

it's hard to believe it is still leaking, the mess it has created is unimaginable. Wait for the months ahead when more pics of the serious damage come out.

where will all that oil go now?

Into your next seafood dinner.

its about 8 inches thick in the marshes, and that's just the beginning.

The cap will just allow more oil to be siphoned to the oil tankers, there will still be leaking. The only solution that has proven to work time and time again is relief wells. We're still over 30 days from that being completed.

It doesn't matter anyways. The water is poisoned beyond belief. One small tropical storm or hurricane is going to spread the oil outside of any containment, and Mr. Obama is ensuring that sufficient tax dollars are being spent to keep all information on lockdown so that nobody knows exactly how bad the devistation is. Some "land of the free" :1orglaugh
