BP: Sub has collided with hardware - Oil leak now worse than ever
 

Just saw this on CNN:

BP: One of the robot submarines has collided with a piece of hardware and made the oil gush worse than it has ever been.

And a few days ago, Lighting hit the Discovery Enterprise, starting a big fire.

The Gulf, is completely fucked.

i'm surprised bp didn't say it helped contain the leak.

it's a useless clusterfuck down there ... i would be surprised if they ever fixed it. They should of nuked it last month

Too many stupid cooks in that kitchen.

Drill , Baby Drill !

again with the nukes, jeez. god, it's irritating!

They need to get more wells drilled to relieve the pressure. Otherwise, it will just continue to leak and kill us all.

nuke that bitch now.

How many are they currently drilling?

a little nuclear fallout never hurt anybody

fucking unbelievable amount of incompetence in the Gulf

I hope these people can't sleep at night. I am just disgusted

why can't they just ram the sub into the hole and plug it?

if this fucker was in charge ...

A robotic submarine bumped into the containment cap atop the gushing well, forcing BP to remove the cap as a safety precaution. It was collecting as much as 16,000 barrels of oil a day in the BP oil spill. BP said it will try to reattach the cap Wednesday night.

This story was briefly mentioned in the article on CNN

BP has removed the containment cap that had been responsible for collecting as much as 16,000 barrels of oil a day from the leaking well in the BP oil spill. A robotic submarine reportedly dented a critical vent in the system, forcing BP to detach the cap Wednesday morning as a safety precaution.


An attempt to reinstall the cap is expected later Wednesday, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said in a briefing.

The damaged vent is used to send warm water into the containment cap to prevent hydrates from freezing and clogging the system. It is uncertain how the remotely controlled device disrupted the cap system, Allen said.


The containment cap is a crucial element of the oil-recovery system now in place on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico. Since its installment in early June, the cap has collected oil and sent it upward to the Discoverer Enterprise, a drill ship that separates the oil from the water and natural gas also collected by the cap.
Second containment method still working

Before its removal, the cap was working in tandem with a flexible hose that is connected directly to the blowout preventer that failed on April 20. This hose, connected to the blowout preventer's choke line, leads to the Q4000, a second ship that is burning off 10,000 barrels of oil daily. This collection method is still working even with the containment cap removed.

A third ship is expected to arrive by the end of the month and connect to the blowout preventer's kill line, burning off an additional 25,000 barrels of oil each day.

BP is also building a separate system of flexible riser pipes that is expected to increase capacity to between 60,000 to 80,000 barrels a day. The flexible pipes would also make it easier for ships to couple and decouple in the event of a hurricane.

Allen said this system would be ready to operate by Tuesday.

I think I just watched the cap get re-installed. The camera is pulled back pretty wide now, but it looks like minimal oil is coming out now.

When I say minimal, I still mean a lot -- but quite a bit less than earlier.

unbelievable ..wait, not.

Directly from Tony Hayward... "I was not aware our robots could colid with equipment, these robots where made by someone else, I was not invovled in controling the robots so I am not responsible."

Watch him resign before the whole mess is done... the fucking CUNT!!!!

big big wow.

And permits to drill should NEVER be given unless at least 3 wells are drilled at once in case of a problem. For the only known fix to take months to complete is is as stupid as thinking something mechanical won't fail.


.

They would be better off training monkeys to fix the fucking pipe, I mean fuck me, we can build space stations and shit but cant fix a hole in a pipe under water ? ... they want to shoot the cunt that said the the blowout preventer was ok in the first place and then use his corpse to plug the fucking hole until they get the monkeys trained to fix it properly lol

i blame the oil leak for the earthquake we just had up here.

we went to the moon :1orglaugh

don't make me come over there! :1orglaugh

What a clusterfuck.

russians did it 6 times, worked 5 times. Seems like a MUCH better success rate than what we're doing.

no, they did not. but i won't be getting into it again.

Fantastic....

that shit is in worse shape than the adult internet

fuck, we're all going to die.

it's the ultimate clusterfuck.

i've already started drinking a quart of oil a day and will increase that to 5 gallons a day...

i am conditioning my body to be able to survive when the planet is engulfed in oil..

i suggest you all do the same if you want to see the apocalypse in 2012....

thats when the reptiles come....

Just wait until the underground pipes break and the sea floor gives way.

Quick, dyno get ur snorkle mask and plug that hole bitch. I'm sure u could musker up enough shit from gfy alone to clog that hole for good

Or they're just saying that so they can claim whatever the end readings are were higher because of this, and not always gushing so much.

i'm on it! :1orglaugh

Agreed. Won't happen, but it should.

Might as well.

No they did not.

Definitely.

We had years of experience going into space. I believe this is the first time we have had this particular scenario.
