i get that. i think the combination of the IG report and the inconsistent infotainment brought to us by bp's media crisis management team created extra static in my brain.
so from what i understand, it's not obvious yet that there will be a top kill attempt. depth, pressure, temperature, gasses and the quite real possibility that incorrect actions could make this worse.
what's interesting is the extent to which the various narrative production systems seem to want this to be the Climax of the Story. it's a curious phenomenon, the need for narrative symmetry running up against a reality that's not necessarily co-operative.
