Federal government threatens to yank BP from efforts to cap well


Posted on May 23, 2010

Angry that BP has missed numerous deadlines to shut off the Deepwater Horizon well, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar threatened to “push them out of the way…if we find they’re not doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” he said Sunday.

A company spokesman admitted Saturday that the mile long siphoning tube inserted into the well captured only 1,360 barrels during the previous 24 hours, a decline from the 5,000 barrels it was capturing three days earlier.

Swaths of heavy crude continue to wash ashore in the Louisiana delta, with lighter coatings reaching Mississippi and Alabama.

Helpless churchgoers along the Gulf Coast prayed for divine intervention Sunday to clear up the spill.
