Unanswered questions about the BP oil spill

Questions that I've not seen asked by the media:

I saw a fleeting reference that the well was about to be capped when the explosion occurred. Had they actually broken through to the gas and oil at that time? If so, what went wrong? Was there too much pressure for the blow-out preventer? Is it normal for there to be so much pressure after all this time? Why were they going to cap the well instead of pumping from it? How long were they expecting to have it capped? Were they intentionally not going to pump oil to increase the price? How much oil is down there?

  1. Well, it took them a long time, but they finally capped it.
