Comments on: BP caps leaking well, but industry experts say it may not be a permanent fix https://bartblog.bartcop.com/?p=9784 The Blog of BartCop.com Wed, 14 Nov 2012 04:36:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9 By: RS Janes https://bartblog.bartcop.com/?p=9784&cpage=1#comment-46778 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:40:01 +0000 http://bartblog.bartcop.com/2010/07/16/bp-caps-leaking-well-but-industry-experts-say-it-may-not-be-a-permanent-fix/#comment-46778 I think it’s obvious BP’s main focus since this well burst has been containing the PR damage with less emphasis on controlling the disaster they caused. Now, instead of the horrible image of oil pouring into the Gulf, we have the image of a cap secured atop the well spout. Show’s over — nothing to see here! Perhaps they’re hoping this image will assure enough people that the disaster is over and the media will move on to something else.

As MSNBC reported today in “Test of Gulf well cap extended for 24 hours”:

“The clock expired on what was supposed to be a 48-hour observation period and the government added another day of critical monitoring. Scientists and engineers were optimistic that the well showed no obvious signs of damage, but were still struggling to understand puzzling pressure readings emerging from the bottom of the sea.”

‘Puzzling pressure readings’ — read: ‘it’s leaking elsewhere on the bottom of the Gulf.’

This is just more of the same shuck and jive BP has been pulling all along.
