Top Kill Failed

Next attempt will be similar to the one they tried to do 2 weeks ago only has been modified. They will cut the riser and fit a cement box over it. No guarantee it will work either and no guarantee the drill that takes two months will work either. We could end up with this forever. I just feel sick. Worst case scenario is they will not be able to stop it. Now that is scary.

This is upsetting.  The Gulf Coast is such a wonderful natural resource.  There are quite a few wildlife sanctuaries in the area.  Hopefully something will work.  We desperately need a way to clean these awful things up.  Our coastal areas are too precious and our wildlife is fragile.  We really both.

My hubby was telling me today of a Mexican oil well, that had a similar issue back in the '70's -- spewed oil for 9 months; I sort of remember it, but not a lot........

Let's just hope they come up with a solution soon.
