【The Newsroom】S01E01（05）史上最大的環(huán)境災(zāi)難
?
Hints：
Hardy Boys
ROV
Gulf of Mexico
You guys have to follow up on this, all right? You're gonna wanna open with the Coast Guard search and then pivot to this because…
Neal.
Neal says…
It's gonna be the biggest environmental disaster in history.
Oh, my God.
Jesus Christ. Can we please get back to work and send the Hardy Boys to their room?
Neal, tell them.
After an explosion like that, the first thing that's supposed to happen is the underwater blowout preventer should automatically close.
The flames are still 150 feet high, so that obviously didn't happen. Now when they get the fire out, they're gonna send a submersible ROV down there to turn the preventer on manually. But my source says:" At the depth with that much pressure, it has to be the mechanics that failed and not the electronics." In other words, trying it manually isn't gonna work either.
So, they're gonna have to build relief wells and that's gonna take months.
Months of oil spilling into the Gulf at a rate of 4.2 million gallons a day
And just for the record, the Gulf of Mexico contains 643 quadrillion gallons of water. I think you may be overreacting.
You are dramatically under-reacting.
I'm the only one who's not dramatically doing anything.
你們得跟進(jìn)調(diào)查，好嗎？你們最好先報道搜救，然后重點轉(zhuǎn)到這里來，因為。。。
尼爾。
尼爾說。。。
這會成為史上最大的環(huán)境災(zāi)難。
老天啊。
我的天哪。大家伙兒都去干活好嗎？把這些小偵探送回去。
尼爾，告訴他們。
這樣大的爆炸發(fā)生過后，首先發(fā)生的必然是水下防噴器自動關(guān)閉.
而火焰仍然150英尺高，顯然，防噴器沒能關(guān)閉。所以，等滅火之后，他們會派送遙控水下機器人潛入海底，手動關(guān)閉防噴器。但是我的線人說，在壓強如此大的深海里，必定是機械導(dǎo)致的故障而不是電路。換句話說，手動關(guān)閉也行不通。
這樣，他們不得不修減壓井，而這得花數(shù)個月的時間。
數(shù)月每天420萬加侖石油流進(jìn)海灣。
但墨西哥灣海水含量是64.3萬萬億加侖。我覺得你反應(yīng)過度了。
是你反應(yīng)過小。
我是這兒唯一反應(yīng)正常的人了。
