men and women out of the way because why would you put another person in the way of this? right? chad, two questions. one you may have answered it. when is it going to hit land? i know where is a big question. but when? a text 360 question from adam in san diego. if the storm makes a direct hit with the current cap in place, will it keep all the oil leaking during the storm? let s take one at a time. land fall looks like somewhere between noon and 4:00 on sunday. that s the second land fall possibly. there maybe a first landfall in the keys. that would still only be a 45 to 50-mile-per-hour, what they call a blow. people in the keys don t even worry about that. because you re worried about the oil, back here, that would happen sunday, somewhere at the noon hour, plus or minus three or four hours. it could go faster or slower. will the cap hold? we certainly hope so. a mile of padding of water even if there are waves up here,
in wall to wall tonight consider this a bp viewing guide. everybody is wondering, will this cap hold? well you can watch at home if you want. you can see some of these feeds. bp puts out as many as 12 live feeds at a time. as you can see there are bars on this one. nothing from that. many are murky. this is a scanner up top. let s take a closer look at some of the most critical feeds we re watching at cnn and you can watch at home if you logon to these sites. right here is the stacking cap. earlier today, it was all oil flowing out of here. right now no oil. down here this is murky but you will see from time to time remote operated vehicles. you see one moving down here. they have lights on them and carry tools. sometimes they re the ones that bring the wrenches in to shut down the valves. that s part of the structure there now as we watch the under water camera. one of those vehicles i told you about, you see the lights,
also tonight, questions about the deal that sent the convicted lockerbie bomber free and home to libya. the brits now say that was a mistake, and the u.s. senate wants to investigate. but questions on everyone s mind was bp involved behind the scenes? and later, the big problem with the iphone 4. is antenna-gate a chink in the armor of the mighty steve jobs? we have a lot to get to tonight, but we begin with our number one story, which of course is oil. the watch word today is cautious optimism. day 88. the pressure is on. can the cap hold back the oil? so far so good. but the president says don t forget, there is still a huge cleanup to do. tonight the prognosis is being described as muted optimism. there is still some concern that the pressure levels are not where they should be. just a short time ago,
