Professor Robert Bea of University of California Berkley reports the cap installed by BP at Macondo leaking oil well is similar if not identical to a design submitted to him from a Master Plumber in Northern California.
Robert Bea a former engineer for oil company received a late night call from a mystery plumber who claimed he had designed a cap that could seal the well to the failed Blow Out Preventer.
The Professor was then forwarded sketches detailing the plumbers design. The Professor then sent the mystery plumbers design to the United States Coast Guard as a viable solution to stop the leaking crude.
The Coast Guard compiled civilian designs for catalogs available to BP engineers.
Naturally, BP denies the cap design origination's were from outside BP Engineering.
Honestly, it truly makes no difference where the design originated. It is undeniable that a Plumber from northern California could also seal the well without benefit of any engineering backgrounds.
BP claimed the deep undersea work was on a par with a lunar landing. I seriously doubt the Master Plumber information could be helpful to NASA.
The new design is simply further evidence of how incapable BP has been throughout the past 85 day ordeal
