(What is "a 5 mile tall mud"?)
- joe_the_user 16y agoColumn, I'm guessing. The mud gets pressure from being piped down from the surface - if it is twice the density of water, then that's the double to ambient pressure on the bottom. Of course, the failure of the top kill didn't necessarily come from an inability to get enough pressure but from the limits of how to pressure could be applied - but of course, we don't know for sure why the top killed failed and possibly neither does BP. It's miles into the ocean where methane-oxides become solid.
- TeHCrAzY 16y agoCorrect re. Column. I miss words sometimes, even when re-reading what I have written.
