-
is the underwater blowout preventer should automatically close.
-
The flames are still 150 feet high,
-
so that obviously didn't happen.
-
Now when they get the fire out,
-
they're gonna send a submersible ROV
-
down there to turn the preventer on manually,
-
but my source says
-
"At that depth with that much pressure,
-
it has to be the mechanics that failed and not the electronics."
-
In other words, trying it manually isn't gonna work either.
-
So they're gonna have to build relief wells
-
and that's gonna take months.
