Live video link from the ROV monitoring the damaged riser

I had assumed the leak was plugged, I guess not and reading the blurb at the bottom, it looks like it could take a couple of days.

soon they will be calling it top fail.. i saw pure black oil coming from the vid about 2 hours ago looked like what ever presure they gained with the mud was lost for a few minutes.. meaning if you lose pressure for just one minute or less all the mud would be ejected thru the holes at the top of the b.o.p, and they would have to start all over again .. and that's what it looks like they have done. tune in tomorrow to see top fail in action.

but i hope for all the wild life and gulf residents that it works..but i am not a fan of faith??

"The operation has not yet achieved its objective," he said, in that oil was continuing to flow to the surface. "We have successfully pumped some of the drilling mud into the well bore. Clearly we need to pump more of that in."
Good lord, they need to get this thing plugged.
