Mike Malloy says the top kill is off for tomorrow..

[Webster Green]

Delayed or may not happen at all.

He said it was reported from Reuters. I don't see anything on the Reuters website though.

1. Thanks for this. n/t

[gateley]

2. Hmmm. Someone commented elsewhere that it was possible the ground was

fracturing, in which case the top kill couldn't be attempted. Wonder if that's what it is?

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. My guess is that they are figuring out that the pipes won't sustain the pressure. n/t

4. The robots have been looking pretty busy,

I assume they were trying to set up for the top kill. One of them was making an effort to attach something to the well head (or whatever the fuck it is). it didn't look like it was working.

5. If the ground fractures what does that mean as far as the oil underneath it??????

8. maybe a bigger gusher

jeez, this is beyond sad.

you live near the water if i recall right. i know you appreciate it.

11. This is all a terrible nightmare for anyone living near the water....

and eventually for everyone on the planet

12. I live in this nightmare in Tampa and hv MS! (don't know which is

worse)!

9. I think there's 3 or 4 miles of rock between the sea bed and the reservoir.

That's a lot of rock to fracture. Fucked if I know though.

6. I read on DU day before yesterday that the seabed is crumbling under the pipe.. JESUS CHRIST!

[Skink]

7. they should be able to recover another 10000 barrels, then they'll do it.

10. According to Twitter, it may take two days.
