>> right. i think the admiral used an analogy this morning if you have a garden hose and you put your finger on the top of it, that pressure should still be in it. if you feel that the pressure of the hose is going out, that means there's holes along the garden hose and oil would be leaking out through the well casing. that is not something they want to see. they want to be able to control that flow. if the cap doesn't work by itself, the other option that they have, and i think the one they think is probably most likely at this point, just kind of reading the tea leaves on what the at mir ral...

Capacity to be able to accommodate the flow rate which the government estimated and still systems to be 35,000 to 60,000 barrels a day. to that end, the capping stack off the kill and the choke lines, together with the kill and choke lines off the legacy bp deepwater horizon give us four outlets from which to produce and what we intend to do is from the kill and the choke line on the legacy b.o.p. is to produce to the helix producer and the pisces, which are floating production units that will then transfer to shuttle tankers. the kill and the choke line on the stacking cap that we have right ...

Just had a drawing board there and that was the breakdown. that's the incident commander trying to break this down as well. now let me show you what he said just a couple of hours ago giving us an update of where we are in this whole process. >> i don't want to reverse the priorities here, the priorities are to contain and stop the flow of oil. but the design of the cap itself, if we can withstand the pressures and the well bore stays intact presents the actual to shut the well in. which will give us the ability to abandon the site in the event of a hurricane. >> let's break the numbers down w...

I know our friends along the gulf south, as glad as they are to see what happened today, they under as you have explained to us, both jonathan and shapiro, this is far from the end. hopefully it holds and when a hurricane comes, ships don't have to move away. we have ever reason to believe -- i don't know. they led tows believe 2 1/2 million gallons a day times however many days at whatever flow rate. the fish are doing weird things, beaches are shut down. we have a huge mess and we hope it gets better. what, kim? adam has a fisherman with him. adam? >> i want you to hear reaction from people ...
