"BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early in the day that the strategy was working, disclosed later that they had stopped pumping the night before when engineers saw that too much of the drilling fluid was escaping along with the oil." (NYT, 5.27.2010)
So, (they) implied that this "top kill" strategy was working all day today, only to tell us later this afternoon that they found out that this was in fact not working, last night?
I am just in awe that it has been over a month (since 4.20.2010) and this is what BP, the third largest global energy company and the fourth largest company in the world, and Transocean, the world's largest offshore drilling contractor TOGETHER are capable of. Once again, proposed solution is a failure.
I really hope that once Owen arrives and I come out of my MIA status with him that this is over... so sad!!
