Thad Allen: No Oil “Coming Up The Well Bore”

That’s the breaking news on GMA this morning from the President’s man in charge, Admiral Thad Allen. 

“They have been able to stop the hydro-carbons from coming up the well bore….they’ve been able to push the hydro-carbons, the oil, down with the mud.  The real challenge is to put enough mud into the well to keep the pressure where they can put a cement plug over the top.”

His optimism was echoed by BP’s CEO Tony Hayward, who said the “junk shot” has been added to the “top kill.”
