Im surprised BP have allowed this for general public.

Should do it like a fuel pipe leak and just get a bloody great pair of mole grips on it!

I cant believe they haven't sorted it yet..

It comes down the fact this hasn't been done before, the pressures and temperature at that depth are extreme. Divers just can't dive that far...If was as simple as using mole grips it would have been done by now.

If we want to countuie with current demand for oil then more risk and cost is going to be required to get at.

Its more exciting to watch than "The Abyss"

seems to be worse than yesterday..!

iv popped a cork in the post f.a.o BP CEO.

Hopefully he will get the point,

What amazes me is that they have permission to drill like this for oil because yes we need it, however there is NO back up plan when this stuff happens, well thats not quite true, there were two backup plans but both failed.

bind you they pay the money and take the risks I Guess.

I wonder how much petrol prices will rise at the pump to cover the costs of this though?

It almost certainly wont affect them. The amount that is being lost here is a drop in the ocean (pun intended) compared to global output.

I heard they had plugged the pipe,but it looks like its still blowing on the link.

looks reduced, but not fixed.
