Testing Falure
04/20/2010
"On 20 April, BP and Transocean staff prepared to undertake their one test to ensure that the cement job at the bottom of the well had successfully sealed off the well bore from the reservoir" (Bergin 2012, p. 157)
11 workers killed
04/22/2010
"The Deepwater Horizon rig sank on April 22, 2010, two days after the Macondo well blowout and explosion that killed 11 workers." page 328 (Spill 2011)
Extreme Leakage
04/23/2010
"On April 23, the day after the Deepwater Horizon sank, Coast Guard officials said privately they now feared the well could leak at a rate of more than 64,000 barrels per day -- the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez accident every five day." (Magner 2011, p. 209)
Thousands of barrels
04/24/2010
Day 5 "Then, over the weekend of April 24, it put out estimates of "up to" 1,000 per day. Eventually the government put the volume as high as 62,000 barrels per day." (Reed & Fitzgerald 2011, p. 87)
Day 6 "On April 25, BP began to consider placing a large containment dome, known as a cofferdam, over the larger of the two leaks from the broken riser." (Juhasz 2011
Containment Dome
