Three days after BP said its latest attempt to stop oil gushing out into the Gulf of Mexico had failed, the company is turning to another risky procedure. BP plans to use robot submarines to cut away the riser pipe and place a containment valve over the blowout preventer. However, it’s likely to temporarily cause 20 per cent more oil (some 100000 gallons) to add to the spill daily. Join The Illuminati (Msg Me). SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL.

MOXNews.com – youtube/MoxNewsDotCom Robert Louisiana Deepwater Horizon Resonse Gulf Oil Spill Briefing: Coast Guard BP Update on “Top Kill” Procedure TOP KILL is not working BP: Method has been unable to stop leak.

Mary Landry US coast Guard: ‘Disappointed in today’s announcement’ ‘No Silver Bullet to stop this Leak’, ‘We have directed BP to move forward in attempt to stop leak’, ‘Seafood sampling has begun’, ‘Trying to minimize economic and environmental impact’.
Journalist threatened with arrest. Emerging reports are raising the question of just how much of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill journalists are able to document. When CBS tried to film a beach with heavy oil on the shore in South Pass, Louisiana, a boat of BP contractors, and two Coast Guard officers, told them to turn around, or be arrested. “This is BP’s rules, it’s not ours,” someone aboard the boat said. Coast Guard officials told CBS that they’re looking into it. As the Coast Guard is a branch of the Armed Forces, it brings into question how closely the government and BP are working together to keep details of the disaster in the dark.

The US Government says it won’t take over oil clean-up operations in the Gulf of Mexico from BP. Washington had criticised the oil giant for being too slow in its crisis management efforts. BP is pinning its hopes of stopping the gusher on yet another technique never tested 1500 metres underwater: a ‘top kill’ in which heavy mud and cement would be shot into the blown-out well to plug it up. At least 23 million litres of crude oil have spewed into the Gulf, according to a Coast Guard and BP, though some scientists say they believe the spill has already surpassed the 42 million litre 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska as the worst in US history.
