"BP - the oil company that saved the world."
^^ is this the way they'll try to frame it?

"Now begins a waiting period to see if the cap can hold the oil without blowing a new leak in the well. Engineers will monitor pressure readings incrementally for up to 48 hours before reopening the cap while they decide what to do."

So did they cap all the cracks that were oozing oil too?
comon bp,
don't "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" us- exactly! nothing accomplished here other than death and possibly a few hollywood film ideas.sea_sea

does this mean the approx 92 million gallons of oil that leaked and is killing the ocean automatically goes away?! and what about all the crap their spraying on top of the oil? pfff really screwed up this time. :(
- benfal990
they sprayed so much disolvent in the ocean. So we can multiply the catastrophe x2.

Seep found near BP oil well;

apparently it can just be the beginning of something much worse...
"251 million years ago a mammoth undersea methane bubble caused massive explosions, poisoned the atmosphere and destroyed more than 96 percent of all life on Earth."
"Those subterranean seas of methane virtually reshaped the planet when they explosively blew from deep beneath the waters of what is today called the Gulf of Mexico."
are we screwed?

^^ I think something from the www.theoildrum.com would be a bit more credible. someone does point out that there are pockets of methane and oil all around the gulf of mexico, so some of these "sightings" shouldn't be surprising.

I do think it's pretty terrifying .. I read the US gov doesn't want the cap to be left on the well, because it might lead to a build up in pressure -> wonder if this scenario is worrying Obama too?

This whole thing stinks...
Some of the worst feared scenarios seem now, possible. I do sense a bit of fear even in the news broadcasts that have been reporting the leak. I also feel we're not getting the full story, apparently, the government feels the same.
