I wish this was a joke. Be sure to read the comments.

At this rate the relief well will be drilled before they complete the cut.

BP has plan to start collecting more oil through the choke and kill lines in a couple of weeks. Should somehow be better if threatened by hurricanes as well.

Pulley on the right, cutting above the flange where the riser connected to the BOP.

The diamond wire band saw has to go through the 3 auxiliary pipes, the riser and the drill pipe, if I am not mistaken. May take a while.

Looks like the band is between two pulleys which move outward on those stainless steel rails.

This saw company, CUT. Anyone know about them? They pull this off and I'll send some Krispy Creme donuts to the breakroom.

I must be missing something. Shouldn't there be oil coming through the cut by now?

Is the saw designed to work when it is covered with oil?
