Reply #3: I don't think you read my post. The disaster stops when the leak is stopped

AFTER the leak is stopped, is WHEN you start the studies, not in the mist of an emergency. If we followed your suggestion, we would conduct studies on a burning building before we actually got the people out. You get the people out, put out the fire then do the studies on how the fire started and how to prevent future fires and what to do with the fire damaged building. There is a natural order of things and scientific study has to wait until an emergency situation is stabilized.
