Oh good, another week long wait for something that may or may not work. 30 days and counting, still spewing. What's another week.

This has been my biggest gripe all along. "We are going to try _____ , and we plan to start in a week or so."

This reminds me of a couple of emergency rooms I've been in!

So it looks like they're going with the "throw a bunch of crap in the hole" method. Cept they had a better name for it.

At forty Barrels a minute thats 57,600 barrels in a day. From the specs I saw on the Q4000 rig doing the top kill they dont have enough mud to sustain that rate of flow for very long.
