When Naman added an organic solvent to separate the oil from the water [collected at Dauphin Island Marina, near some boom], just like he did with all the other samples, this sample exploded right in his lab. “It was almost instantaneous.

BP engineers Thursday stopped oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico for the first time since April as they shut all valves on a new cap placed on top of a fractured wellhead, a BP official said
Since a blowout preventer cap was placed over BP's damaged oil well in the Gulf of Mexico last weekend, there have been repeated delays in the so-called "well integrity tests" to determine whether the cap can be effective in holding back the oil.
BP has succeeded in stopping its Gulf of Mexico leak for the first time since an accident on April 20 killed 11 men and triggered a giant oil spill, boosting the shares.
In this video interview Chris Landau explains why the cap placed on the "Macondo" well will not work in the long run. It is his judgement that the oil will find its way to the surface vie cracks in the strata in less than 8 days.

At a super-secret security base located in southern Alberta, Canada, reports indicate that high level engineers, physicists and military scientists are feverishly working to complete an ‘explosively pumped flux compression generator’ (EPFCG).
Rob Cavner - now says that he is worried that the well integrity test could further damage the well bore and could blow out the entire well: previously explaining that there is damage in the oil well beneath the seafloor...
