I think after they cap it, they should do their, "junk shot," again plug that hole up, don't want it to spring another leak in 5-10 years or whatever. It's simply amazing how much oil has been shot out of that well, I mean you would think as some poin the pressure would equalize, apparently we have not yet reached that point. 20 Billion is not rather small to any corporation.

Bp might have to up that 20billion escrow to 20 trillion the way this is going, 20 billion is a rather small number to them andthe way things are going its going to cost WAY more than that. This is devestating the southern life style for fishermen and other companies who rely on tourism for a living. I hope at least, we are learning from this mistake, that is, never leave the worlds safety in a lazy, cutting corners company's hands again.
