Happen, its sort of like muscle memory. they go back to a mental process that theyve already done before. if the engine does quit on a small airplane, theyve already done it 15 times in the simulator and in an airplane as well. >> coming up on 3,000. >> both of the engines are going back. >> i feel like were losing thrust. youre losing thrust. >> although im not a licensed pilot, ive had plenty of instruction. i had a chance to land my own plane in the hudson river, in one of the universitys fli...

Simulator and in an airplane as well. >> coming up on 3,000. >> both of the engines are going back. youre losing thrust. >> although im not a licensed pilot, ive had plenty of instruction. i had a chance to land my own plane in the hudson river, in one of the universitys flight simulators. i can tell you one thing, even in a training exercise, its nerve-racking. drop the nose? >> yes, drop the nose. you will head to 230 knots. >> i can see the hudson river. >> start leveling off. good. now, back...

Disappearing a lot faster than anyone thought. so put both stories, both parts of the story today in perspective for us. >> reporter: okay. lets start with the first one. the idea that this well could be sealed by this weekend. thats way too optimistic. they hope to start whats called the static kill process sunday night or monday morning. and what they are going to do, thats when they essentially, as i call it, the low pressure top kill through the choke and kill lines of the blowout preventer....

>> we have global standards for drilling these type of wells that never would allowed us to drill this well this way. >> why? >> specifically because of the type of conditions youre dealing with. deep water, deep well on top of that and very high pressure. the way we go through that process we end up with three to four -- you prove that they are holding pressure and working. each one. you dont move forward until each one passes the test. you hold multiple barriers to hold back pressure from a we...

You can slowly bring that pipe up, almost like pouring concrete. and, again, keep adding as much as you want until you get the leak controlled to the level that you want. there are some concerns about actually fully plugging it because of the back pressure. but here, we can control it and control the flow. >> has this been applied anywhere else? i know certainly we havent seen anything like this gulf oil spill -- but anywhere else this has been tried out in the real world? >> yeah, actually the ...

Kill is the way to go which is what the relief well will be classified as. >> so how fearful should we be about the structural integrity of that entire well? i doubt that its degrading at this point. but lets say if we put a big valve on top of the blowout preventer and turned it shut, that would put a tremendous amount of back pressure on to that casing, well casing. and that might be a bad idea at this point. >> i suspect it would be. all right. thank you for your expertise. thanks for the wor...

Others independent experts said in the very beginning was that this is oil plus gas. and so roughly 30% of the total volume, the oil plus gas, will actually turn into oil. will actually materialize as oil. >> i was going to say, lets say its 60,000 right now. if theyre collecting 15,000 to 20,000 a day, what, still 40,000 spills spewing out. is that right? >> thats correct. i think that math is 100% correct. and the reason that we can do this is that the top hats of the cap thats on there now do...

Experts said in the beginning is that this is oil plus gas, and so roughly 30% of the total volume the oil plus gas will actually turn into oil. >> so -- >> it materializes oil. >> so, say it is 60,000 on the high end right now, and if they are collecting 15 to 20,000 a day, what still 40,000 still spewing out, is that right? >> that is correct. i think that math is 100% correct. and the reason that we can do this is that the top hat, the cap that is on there now, does not exert a whole lot of b...

>> well, representative for mcgraw said he received treatment on site and will be doing fine this was his last stop and this would be in richmond, virginia. un security council expecting meeting with kim jong un. while hopes are high of denuclearization, the administration expecting to scale back pressure to rogue regime. good morning, doug. >> heather, good morning. a lot of details here have to be worked out but the diplomatic breakthrough is sending shock waves around the world and potential ...
