Gottagettem, I understand your frustration, however, like Hillbilly said, it took DWH a little over a month to drill the well, so it is unreasonable and impossible to ask them to be able to get another well tapped into that one any faster than that. AND, I have every confidence that BP is doing everything it can to get the problem fixed, but having constant criticism, and nagging about the way they do things and how they handle situations doesn't help and only makes it harder on them. Right now there is a mixture of to many chiefs and not enough indians, and a whole lot of people who want to b*tch, moan and complain, but are to good/afraid to get their hands actually dirty. JMO

One last note, for those of you who say that we shouldn't have been drilling, and that if the companies/guys had been more careful then the explosion never would have happened, do you realize that prior to the DWH tragedy there had been 1 million manned hours under their belt with no accidents or hiccups? The guys go through rigorous training and testing yearly, as well as run drills once a week, every week. The safety of the men is number 1, and everyone knows it.
