"Top Kill" Failed

You will know by now that the "top kill" attempt at staunching the blowout failed. There are a couple of long shot interim plans, but the ultimate solution being held out is still the "relief well" solution which we are told will come in August. I don't want to seem like a prophet of doom, but maybe we should recall that, like all of the failed methods to date, that also has never been done at such great depth.
