Here ’s how it ’ll work , also demonstrate in the telecasting above : this morn , underwater robot arms are making a clean cut across the top of the broken riser organ pipe so that a containment well can be placed on top of it . The oil would then be siphon off up to containment ship above .
How will this be any different from the previous containment endeavor ? Before , the exploit was bilk by the formation of deoxyephedrine - comparable crystals that formed as the dome was lowered to the 5,000 - foot . deepness of the rupture . This time , they ’ll send down a “ tobacco pipe within a organ pipe ” result , keeping the containment noggin heat enough to be in force .
And if it does n’t work ? Well , that light cut is drop dead to unleash up to 20 % more crude oil than is currently bleed out . If they can contain it quickly , great ! But since there ’s absolutely no intellect to have authority in BP ’s triage power , all we can do is hope for the best and require the worst .
Oh , and even if it works perfectly ? It wo n’t block off all the oil . It ’s a patch , not a fix . [ CBS News ]
