It's showing video now. You might need to use a different browser - it doesn't work on my system with Firefox in Linux, but it does work with Konqueror.

Which is more than can be said for the repairs. It must be difficult though, so I'm not scoffing at them.

Yes, every time I look at those pictures I have to remind myself that it's all done remotely a MILE under the sea at incredible pressure. It's amazing that anything works at all.

The oil spill has been plugged at last but they are not sure if it will hold - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10670760

p.s. it is unclear to me whether BP plan to use the oil well when the 2 relief oil lines are completed in a few weeks time ?

Personally I think that they should as their is still a lot of oil down there despite 3 months of oil leaking into the gulf and also the oil spillage has cost them a fortune up to now and so they may as well try to reclaim it to balance their finances if it is safe to do so.
