It failed miserably.
It looks like BP doesn’t know what they are doing and CEO Tony Hayward denied the existence of oil plumes. He stated, “The oil is on the surface. It’s very difficult for oil to stay in a column. It wants to go to the surface because of the difference in specific gravity.”
Denying the existence of a visible plume that is 22 miles long only adds insult to injury. It also shows BP will do or say whatever it takes to try and save face. It’s too late for that. How about trying to save what’s left of what is the biggest environmental disaster in United States history.
