SOme say the volume of discharge from the riser end increased about the time they started pumping. Not much change in appearance to the discharge, although we have not had a view of the discharg ein a while now. Good signs so far.

Thanks and I just got an email from someone close to the situation and "they are very pleased with the way Top Kill is going and it's better than they expected."

Let's hope and pray it continues.

although i didn't see how it originated, i will say it's the mud reaching the stack. they probably have a relief valve that they will close and continue with the operation.

Carville is pissed ... I say that Louisiana should DO WHATEVER it takes and worry about the consequences later ... I mean the government spends and worries about it later, right?

another dumb question. If it's effective, will the amount of oil/mud coming from the riser decrease slowly or will it stop altogether once it gets to that point of working? I know it won't be any time soon, but just when it does..

If minimal mud getting discharged from riser that is incredible news! As long as mud is still getting pumped at the design rate
