I sense more sarcasm. Hope your trades work. As for Simmons and the Russian....do you always diss those you know next to nothing about? As has been pointed out here, the earlier reports by "credible gov't and industry" sources turned out to be nothing less than a huge steaming pile of bulls**t. Should we continue to rely only on CNN for accurate information? Why don't you provide us a list of acceptable sources so we don't waste our time running in circles?

ibleedcrimsonred.com "June 14: Evidence mounts that the well itself is damaged, and that the disaster could metastasize into an unprecedented calamity. BP submits a new plan (2.8MB, PDF) to increase capture rate from the ruptured well to 53,000 barrels per day, or about 2.2 million gallons by the end of June and 80,000 barrels (3.4 million gallons) per day by mid-July. These rates, of course, significantly exceed even the worst case estimate of the well's flow rate." Now, in your opinion, why would BP initiate a plan that exceeds the current high end estimate by 33%? Did they get religion? ...or could is just possibly have something to do with this? On May 31st, the Washington Post noted: Sources at two companies involved with the well said that BP also discovered new damage inside the well below the seafloor and that, as a result, some of the drilling mud that was successfully forced into the well was going off to the side into rock formations. "We discovered things that were broken in the sub-surface," said a BP official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. He said that mud was making it "out to the side, into the formation."
