The well. so far it did pass those tests. then theres another one, negative pressure test. what you do is you decrease the pressure in the well and this would allow the ability to see if there are leaks in the well, leaks coming through the cement casings. and as it turns out, there were two of those tests that showed anomalie anomalies. they were asking, the lawmakers here were asking the head of bp, the head of transocean, what does that mean? and what the head of bp said was it tells you ther...

100,000 plus documents, most from bp, revealing in some of them the preventer -- the one responsible for stopping the oil flow had a hydraulic leak in a critical area and failed a pressure test prior to the explosion. >> shepard: what about the top hat? when will we see them test that? >> well, its on the sea floor now. adjacent to where theyll place it tomorrow, over where the oil is leaking in the main of the two remaining leaks. what theyre doing today, theyre attaching the hoses to it and wi...

Shortly after the explosion that blowout preventer failed a pressure test. so big questions on that blowout preventer, clearly if that works and the kill switch was engaged according to the captain of the rig that we learned yesterday in testimony in that louisiana hearing, that should have stopped this oil flow three weeks ago. but instead we have more than 4 million gallons of oil still polluting the gulf of mexico and just this morning its been announced that oily sticky tar balls have been f...

Hydraulic system and obviously something that wasnt configured right, tony. we should tell you that these are obviously very much preliminary findings in this congressional investigation and even members of congress here admitting that they raised perhaps more questions than answers. but i think it sounds like we are getting perhaps towards some answers. >> i think youre right. brianna, you said the well may have failed two crucial -- i believe you said pressure tests. why is that so important? ...

Have failed a negative pressure test hours before the explosion happened. we are working to get more details on that. we want to get down to empire, louisiana where phil keating is. he will update us on whats being done. something called a top hat? phil, can you hear me? its jane. i can hear him a bit. sounds like we are having audio problems. okay. we are going to try and get that fixed and get back to phil because he has an interesting update for us. the feds are investigating financial he man...

Leak, likely before the disaster, that may have knocked it out of commission. and bp told the committee that the well in this case failed a key pressure test, just hours before the explosion. there was a discrepancy between two pressure readings that shouldnt have been there. one reading showed significant pressure in the well bore, the hole being drilled, while no pressure was observed in another line. the head of transocean, the rig owner, was asked about that today -- >> and what significance...

Are directly related to the popes visit. in the gulf of mexico, a pressure test is under way to see if cement pumped into the bottom of the bp well is holding. final authority to declare the well dead rests with thad allen. 11 people were killed in that accident. 33 men buried 2,000 feet underground are a step closer to freedom tonight. ahead, why it still could take weeks to rescue them, though. the new darling of the tea party movement has some explaining to do. how witchcraft has become...
