Gulf oil spill: Why BP's cap success is turning sour
By Patrik Jonsson, Staff writer / June 9, 2010

"...the BP live cam at the well is raising questions about whether the top cap operation made the situation worse. BP had to cut off a pipe in order to fit the cap on the well. But many scientists think that pipe was restricting the flow of oil into the Gulf. So while the cap might be collecting large amounts of oil, the increased flow rate might mean that more oil is actually entering the Gulf than before."

Flow rate: It was important, after all.


First the dispersants....now this. :(
