This is an engineering feat that has never been tried at this depth with this large of a device, and its really going to be something new. everyone hoping it works, it works the first time, because they didnt make two of these large containers. theyre going to try and make this work the first time. and if they do, they will be able to collect, they say, 80% to 85% of the leaking oil, which would be a huge relief to the environmental damage thats being done out here. >> youre reading my thoughts....

Beach or shoreline is tar balls or tar patties, what they are telling us to expect and what we need to see is what it actually is. that is what they say to expect and we have cleanup teams standing by ready to go to the sites, as soon as it is found. bill: hopefully we wont get to that. i know the dispersents are used near the source and that is somewhat successful and that is an engineering feat, the first time theyve used it. and, doug suttles, the chief operating officer and coo of bp, my gue...

We have to do a lot of work, we have to understand physics in this new region of energy. >> reporter: one of the top goals, to identify the much-theorized but never before detected bosen particle. the so-called god particle that gives mass to particles, meaning it allows solid structures like, say, a table or a chair to exist. there could also be new discoveries in what scientists call super symmetry. the idea that every particle in our universe has a super partner mirrored in another quantum di...

Look at the water right up to the front doors. this is the flooding. lets show you what theyre doing to prevent it from getting any worse down here. it is really quite a remarkable engineering feat that theyve had to put together in a real hurry. this water came up -- they had warning, but the water came up in the last ten days. look at the construction theyve had to build here. the question is will it be enough to hold? basically an old fashioned dike system put together with railroad ties, tar...
