The Gulf Deepwater Oil Spill - the Top Kill Attempt
Posted by Heading Out on May 25, 2010 - 8:30am
Topic: Environment/Sustainability

The next attempt to shut off the flow from the leaking BP well in the Gulf is still aimed to occur early Wednesday. The attempt will use the “top kill” method to try and kill the well. WhileI have described this in earlier posts, the Unified Command have put out a video animation of the process, and there was an earlier diagram. So I am going to use these, which are simplified explanations, with some additional comments and tie it in to more facts that came out of briefings today, to try and give a more detailed explanation. Here is the animation:
