This is the most optimistic report have seen in a long time...

It must be that instant Karma thing...

Thad Allen says effort to stop Gulf of Mexico oil spill going according to plan | NOLA.com

Quote:
An attempt to kill the runaway deepwater horizon well spilling oil into the Gulf of Mexico is going according to plan so far, leaving the coast guard admiral in charge of managing the spill "cautiously optimistic" but unwilling to say the well is capped.

Admiral Thad Allen said gas and oil is no longer blowing out of the wrecked well on the sea floor as BP engineers and contractors pumped thousands of gallons of heavy mud down the well hole overnight Wednesday and early Thursday

I'm "cautiously optimistic" as well ... But lets be honest, BP has lied from the jump about the size and scope of this disaster ...

Expert: If BP Fails To Plug Leak, It Will Be A Disaster ?Heretofore Unseen By Humanity? | Crooks and Liars

If even BP’s backup plans fail, it would cause a pollution disaster "heretofore unseen by humanity," said one expert.




so it goes today with th elive feed link: CNN.com Live


Looks the same as yesterday.....

Oh...CNN just had a poll asking if people approve of BP's handeling of the spill


24% said they APPROVE?


I want to kick 24% of CNN viewers in the face.

Well, they have not come out and said "it failed" yet so there is hope and pray.

Someone on CNN just stated that if Top Kill was not working they would have started Junk Shot already. Lets hope that's true as well.

Latest from CNN is that that are restarting the process...

The opptimistic part of me thinks they saw results and want to ensure it works so they are really going at it.

The other side of me thinks they are just trying to "try again" so they can get into Memorial day weekend and hope the news cycle gives them a break.

The news says some is coming out of smaller holes but they have stopped a lot of it.

I can't resist putting this in here:
