5. Get ready. It's going to be up to BP and the best chance is 50%

We are essentially screwed. The more I research this the more I realize what an utter disaster this is..

The top kill could blow out the well. The BOP is weak.

These are the possibilities:

1. The Top Kill works

2. The Top Kill goes wrong and further damages the BOP or worse blows out the well

3. We wait for the relief well and that has a 50% chance of working

In the meantime the air quality could be hazardous, the job losses enormous.
