Fuck that's horrible! I don't get it. How can you have a system like that and not an emergency shut off valve? and if you can get down there to lay the fucking pipe in the first place you should be able get down there to fix the fucker.
It's just stupid.:fight:

That's horrible. They need to close all that shit up. All that oil is a big hazard for us all

and if you can get down there to lay the fucking pipe in the first place you should be able get down there to fix the fucker.

Reading just that givesme a chuckle, lol

But in all serious, this oil spill is going to screw with the ocean for years to come

What happened is someone left the interior light on over-night and the battery died so the emergency shut-off valve didn't work.

In all serious, they do think the battery died for the fail-safe. Their plan is to bring the pipe up near the surface, then put a cap on it.

In all the technology why have we not made a robot yet that could just go down their and squeeze the pipe shut at least just to slow the oil flow. In the video that thing was "raging" methane and oil.
