    Default Now that 'top kill' has failed, what's next in Gulf oil spill? (The Christian Sc

    The Christian Science Monitor - BP had no sooner proclaimed its “top kill” maneuver a failure than it set in motion what is essentially its Plan D for dealing with the cause of the Gulf oil spill.

    Default Madness

    BP engineers could have pumped warm sea water to melt the ice crystals in the first and larger dome. Why didn't they? Now, why are they planning to place a smaller "top hat" dome on top of a deliberately severed well pipe that may spew out 20% more oil, runnung the risk that the increased pressure might lift the smaller dome up and off?! If they're going to place a dome over the well pipe why not use the larger and heavier dome after pumping in warm sea water to melt the ice crystals?? What is wrong with these BP managers and engineers? Are they insane?!
