$1:

It is the latest procedure to have failed since attempts to plug the leak began, with BP having spent more than $940 million

Yep, much cheaper than having all the proper safety equipment functioning.

Almost $1 billion spent cuz they didn't wanna spend $500,000. That would be downright hilarious if this wasn't such a catastrophe.

it failed in 1978, why would it work now?

Did everyone forget the BP rented this rig? Why is the not-replacing of the vault their fault, or responsibility? I think they are doing a pretty good job, and I think the whole oil-industry should get their hands dirty on this one.

Good job? Based on what? Considering the billion dollars already spent, they haven't accomplished a whole hell of a lot.

Can you do it any better? Do you have better solutions?

Yeah Brenda... me and my billions are going to fix the damn leak.

Hollywood has made so many disaster movies when the American hero saves the world that it is irony itself when disasters hit the USA that hero is invisible.

I wonder if the all shout CUT in unison that the leak would stop. You never know.

[tritium]

Oh yeah, just a sorbering thought...

According to Klump (2010), the Macondo Prospect may hold 50 million barrels of recoverable oil. An unknown fraction of this 50 million barrels would be available to leak from the single well from which the oil is currently flowing.

It will make the Alberta Tar Sands look pretty insignificant ...
