Essentially, what the company is saying that there is not one reason why this disaster happened and that the blames essentially lies on several people, including not only BP, but Transocean and the company Halliburton. So this is not much different from what you remember back in May when the all three company executives went before on Capitol Hill and started pointing fingers at each other. BP pointing to several factors that led to the disaster happening. One of them being the cement, a mixture that was sent down into that oil well, which should have kept the oil and natural gas from flowing up. That they say is Halliburton's responsibility in it, they messed that up. There's also some questions about pressure readings in the well, in the blowout preventer, in the hours leading up to the explosion. BP says that some of its employees and some Transocean workers didn't read that properly. Independent report that investigation being worked on as we speak. That is part of the government investigation, involving the Coast Guard and the former agency known as the Minerals Management Service. But that won't be due out, Jude, until sometime in December.

We've also got an investigation team up where the orgin cause of the fire, where we believe the orgin of the fire is or was. They were investigating cause in the orgin. We don't have, I don't have any information yet on what the cause of the fire is. We had 20 missing people reported. Of those, 8 people are still there open investigations. Of those 8, many of those people didn't evacuate. What we are doing at this time, we are doing follow up with them, contacting relatives, also sending officers up to do well search exact the residents.

I think people have a fatigue, and in general when it comes to disaster relief. But if I can say that the thing I have learned the most in being here is that we tend to focus on one issue at a time because that seems to be what people can absorb and care for. But the Pakistan as you know is so complex because it has not just the people in flood may eight million affected now but it still has 1.7 million Afghan people who are here. And they have been displaced from the flood.

Double encounter. This is unusual. This one right here is RX-30 and see it passed within about 150,000 miles of earth, a little before 6:00 a.m.. And this one here account RF-12. They expected to pass within 50,000 miles just after 5 p.m. today. It's not visible from naked eye. You're not gonna feel it. And they don't pose a threat. But NASA is saying that it's a reminder that they needs to be close monitoring of this kind of thing.
