did anyone catch the 48k pound claw they dropped thast was in the video around lunch time? They were supposed to use it to rough cut that pipe.

btw that pipe is 4130 chrome moly steel. It's tough stuff to cut on land never mind a mile below the surface of the ocean.
I'm not sure if you know this or not but "these types of operations have never been attempted at 5000 feet, so there are no guarantees."

As if we haven't heard that enough. Every time they make a public statement, they end it with the above quote - almost as if they're trying to say "hey, it's not our fault this didn't work. The well is too deep."
