down into the relief well through the static kill process. one thing we've learned in the last 24 hours listening to briefings from both bp and thad allen, there are a lot of variables in this. yesterday during a technical briefing one of the top executives for bp, kent wells, talked about this static well perhaps being the end-all/be-all of this process. they hopes static kill kills this well once and for all and that the relief well that's being drilled as part of the bottom kill procedure is sort of just that last part of this sort of poking the dead guy with the stick to make sure the well is completely killed. at this point we're all sort of waiting to see if static kill is going to get under way. another thing we should mention, just a little note that came from our weather folks at cnn overnight that a tropical system may be developing out in the caribbean that could potentially adversely affect conditions out at the deepwater horizon site
