The robot.. This may explain the cap... mauisurfer on June 3, 2010 - 11:04pm I HAVE watched the animation. There are two distinct operations, there are 2 different "caps" (if you want to call them that). ONE: The first, the preliminary, cap is placed on BOP, that has occurred. There is no nitrogen in this cap, it is open at the top. TWO: Another "cap" (which is connected to the LMRP and the riser pipe and the auxiliary pipes) is placed on top of the first cap. This has NOT yet occurred. This second cap is the one that has nitrogen in it, it is the one that is connected to LMRP (Low ear Marine Riser Package) which pushes methane (and hot sea water?) into the flow. But right now only the preliminary cap is on and there is no connection to LMRP. == shelburn on June 3, 2010 - 10:52pm Permalink \| Subthread \| Comments top I've been watching Anderson Cooper on CNN for the past hour as he watches the video of the ROV manipulator holding the handle of a relief valve at the top LMRP and he mistakenly identifies the valve as the actual cap and wonders why they haven't connected the wire to take the oil to the surface. And now he has Prof Wereley from Purdue on the phone, Mr. 92,000 bpd (+/- 20%), who is saying that HIS group in the task force hasn't made their report yet but "I can't say what it is, but its much higher". The US news media has turned into tabloid journalism. = JessicainPensacola on June 3, 2010 - 11:19pm We were just having a conversation in the chatroom, thought I would ask this question here concerning CNN and other news networks. Why is it, that since this entire disaster started, we haven't actually seen any real "experts" commenting or answering questions. I mean we see plenty of professors and the like, but no REAL experts with many years experience drilling oil rigs under the ocean floor. ARe there some sort of regulations in place, prohibiting experts from other oil companies actually getting on tv and giving their expert commentary live, concerning important events like we watched tonight
