FINALLY. I know this is not over, especially for the beaches and poor freaking animals and

I'm not getting too excited. I'll consider it capped when it proves to be a long term solution for the problem.

Hoping it holds, for the sake of man and beast alike.

It took over 15 years of planning, design and test programs for Apollo 11 to come to fruition.

By your analogy, 86 days to cap a well is fantastic.

Thank God. Now the news can go back to reporting about Lindsey Lohan.

I Just Hope It's Finally Finished & We Can Enjoy The Beaches Again!:-)

Thank God you pointed that out. Now I can sleep tonight. :-)

Not to mention that this drama is unfolding about 5000 feet down, at many thousands of pounds-per-square-inch of water pressure.

That'll still be a very long time. I'm betting on a few years (if ever) that the coasts/wetlands/gulf returns back to normal.
[Reply]

Probably True, Brother.:-)

I'm not.

Excellent, my good deed is now done for the day.

My impression has been that they had ways in mind, that had worked before (albeit under different conditions), and figured they'd work here too. Only when they actually tried them did they find that, umm...no they didn't work!

A classic case of "no battle plan ever survives first contact with the enemy".

There's better things to do like go golfing:-)
