Can you post a link?

Thank you.

The OP's link works for me, ROV1. I just checked CNN and it's down.

The link works fine for me and I am seeing the most explosive action I have ever seen In my whole 3 weeks watching these cams.
I see lots of gas and maybe mud/dirt and I cannot see the BOP at all.
Thanks for the alert.
Regards

# it going boys!!!!

Ummm yeah....that looks like its picked up a LOT. Mostly gas? is what Im seeing. Very little black stuff. It looks white.


Im seeing a VERY bright orange towards the bottom left every now and then. I think they tapped into a lava chamber!

That looks like a lot more oil than what it had been previously leaking out....but I'm just wondering has BP actually showed us the process as to how they are sucking up and capturing the oil?

Or have they just said they're capturing the oil, without showing us videos of how its done?

Something about this thread title gives me a very icy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Its a bit like that sickening "here we go" lurching feeling when a roller coaster edges past the peak and begins to barrel downward. Or like the end of the movie "Titanic" when the back-half of the ship starts to plunge vertically downward.

Let us all hope and/or pray for a non-worst-case-scenario.

Looks like fire shooting up from the bottom left area of the screen. Is this magma? This is my first time looking at their live feeds.

Are you kidding me? Both of these look messed up scary...I'm wondering if this is the pre-methane scenario I read about.

Here ya go...

MAN has this thing grown - JEEZ!!

Looks like a lot more gas/methane.
And a lot less oil.

The gas will move through the production layer faster then the oil.
We may be seeing a depletion of the oil around the well bore.

These are from a day or two ago. Im not sure if there's a big difference. But you be the judge.

EDIT ; Well its hard to say since these 2 screenshots are cutoff, but its basically only half of the image, so you get the idea.

I've been watching these on/off quite a bit, and the one thing I notice is that it appears they operate a little different at night, likely when they think fewer here in the US are watching. Anyhow, once in a while I noticed they crank up the dispersant and then they turn a fan on the stuff to mix it up better and that's when it usually looks like all hell is blowing out of that hole. Sit and watch it for a few hours, you'll eventually get a glance at that fan they turn on, and if you look carefully you can see when it's on or off.
