Dammit.

BP abandons use of jammed diamond wire saw, thwarting company’s latest bid to slow Gulf oil spill, Thad Allen says.

Yes, DSAW was not up to the task, too much pressure, oil and sand. Couldn’t cut the Drill String.

Next they will bring in some giant sheers, 20 feet long and 10 feet high, to snip away the Riser and Drill String, and there is also the big giant CRAW to fall back on as that successfully chomped the Riser already.

The IUD cap will have to be modified to fit the more uneven cut that is likely to result.
