The Well Cap is a diversion, and it worked. A Coast Guard overflight spotted heavy, emulsified oil on Sunday that appeared to be heading on a collision course with the island. It came within eight miles of the shore on Monday, before the Coast Guard said skimmers intercepted it. “We did send a fleet of skimmers out to that oil and they were able, as soon as they arrived on scene, the oil actually broke up and it broke into small particles,” said US Coast Guard Rear Adm. Paul Zunkunft, the oil spill’s federal on-scene coordinator. What the skimmers were able to capture was an oily water mix that eventually added up to just one barrel of recoverable oil. Yet, while the latest threat of oil may have avoided Grand Isle, there are worries about what may be happening underneath the surface of the water. “I’m not worried what’s on top no more,” said Grand Isle Mayor David Camardelle. “I’m worried about what’s on the bottom and I still can’t get a clear answer for that. Camardelle’s fears center on so-called “oil plumes,” possibly lurking off the coast, underwater in the Gulf of Mexico. They can be hard to see from the air. The mayor said he would like to find a way to track them, using some of the vessels out on the water for the oil spill response. “We’re looking to see if we can drag some type of nets and check the bottoms — and that’s one of the things we want to check out — on the bottoms,” Camardelle said. “Because, gradually, BP’s going to pull out of here and say, ‘we …

Question by Day V: Why didn’t Obama attempt the Top Kill aproach first when trying to seal the oil spill in the gulf?
If he had gone right to that first, the oil leak would have been plugged weeks ago, and thousands of innocent animals would still be alive. Why does he hate the envirnment so much?
If Obama had told BP that they required the well to be top killed right from the start, they would have listened. Why didn’t Obama do that?
For those telling me that this is not Obamas responsibility, then why has Obama all along been saying they are actively involved in getting the well plugged?

On Monday, the test was delayed due to a hydraulic leak. Tuesday might just be the day that the disastrous Gulf oil leak is finally and completely stopped. Crews hope to begin forcing mud and maybe cement down the throat of the blown out oil-well, which has dumped 4.9 million barrels into the Gulf of Mexico, sparking the largest accidental oil spill of all time. The plan, dubbed “static kill,” will replace an experimental cap — the only thing keeping oil from spewing back into the ocean for the past two weeks. Engineers will conduct tests to determine if the broken blowout preventer can handle the static kill. If the tests go well, they plan to spend Tuesday through Thursday pumping mud into the well.
