Cofferdam fails, BP looking for solutions
By DONNA MELTON - dmelton@sunherald.com

The cofferdam BP had hoped would cap the leaking well in the Gulf now sits beside the flow of oil as experts scramble to find a way to stop ice crystals from forming inside the 125-ton box.

BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said today the cofferdam was removed from the leak and placed 600 feet away from the leak source “in a safe location while we evaluate options,” Suttles said.

The hydrates, which make the cofferdam buoyant, resemble slush and in large quantities also prevents oil from being funneled through the dome to the surface, Suttles said.

be sure to read the words in this link.. “in a safe location while we evaluate options,”


Many of us were warning about this..it had never been done at this depth..and now, as many of us have warned others ..it has failed ..but those of us on the Gulf were told the likelyhood of this working were slim to none!

But don't listen to us..wtf do we know eh?? It is only our fucking backyards!
