I signed an order last night to BP and about 8:30 eastern daylight time this morning they started pumping cement into the well. They will do that throughout the day. When that is done I'll make sure they have all the cement in place where it needs to be. The big conversation yesterday really had to do with whether or not the drill pipe was still intact; now that might impact the cementing plan. We pretty much came to a consensus on that. So today's effort into tomorrow will be to finish cementing off the well from the top down. Let me state, and I've said and stated this several times, that this is not the end. But it will virtually assure us that there will be no chance of oil leaking into the environment.
Yes. When I was sleeping, I had a knock at my door. And I opened my door. And two men were there and gave me a pouch and said, "A gift for you."
Do you know what time that was that that happened? Do you have idea?
No, I don't. I just, I was sleeping. So, I was woken up from my sleep.
And these two men, did you know who they were?
No, I'm afraid not.
911.
I need the cops here at Hartford Distributors right away. Shooting.
What's going on? Who got shot?
Somebody got shot. I got shot.
I need some information, sir. Who got shot?
Somebody, we need the cops. What an Omar Thornton is shooting people. I just got shot.
OK, I need to know what his name is and his place.
His name is Omar Thornton. He is a black guy. Get the cops here right away, please.
Sir, stay on the line with me.
I'm bleeding all over the place.
OK. How many people got shot?
I don't know.
OK, you don't know. And you are shot where?
In my head.
You are shot in the head?
Yeah.
And what's your name?
My name is Steve Hollander.
And where are you in the building, sir?
I'm hiding in an office.
Hiding where?
In an office.
We're heading to the 3B, heading over the (inaudible) bridge. He's going to hit a vehicle that was bailed out on the bridge. There's a vehicle there. Stay in behind.
OK. Let’s keep going on like this (inaudible).
First I admitted this is great, because the driver's side door is pinned on the car, and the passenger's side is pinned on the bridge, and like they can't get out. They can't even run. And next thing I see a reverse, that's my call, this is good, and it came at me, and first I thought if it hit me, it would just hit me. I didn't think it would drive over me like Big Foot.
