[QUOTE=company man 1;33900]The only danger is if they ever get the weight up high enough to kill this thing, is if it were to go from static or on a vaccuum to flowing again, they would have a hell of atime getting a set of blinds on it. If they have this as a back up plan then why haven’t they mentioned it? It doesn’t matter what’s stuck in the hole you shear what’s on top & sting off the lower stack with the upper stack. Then shear whatever’s in the way of stinging on top with another set of rams. I guarantee you no one thought of it until about an hour or so ago when it was posted on this sight by the pseudo company man.[/QUOTE]
In the press conference, Doug said that if the top kill doesn’t work, they would implement the next backup which would be the cap. If the cap didn’t work out, he talked as if placing another BOP on top of the BOP would be next in line.
