You know, the closer Bonnie gets, the more BP ticks me off. Watching the feeds, and knowing that they are leaving for X number of days because of the storm, really combines to make a nasty feeling in my stomach.
The drips and hydrate formation that Hos_Achiever_Maxx_1 is showing, does not look like it will be 'happy' left alone for a week.
And is it just me, or is there a much greater amount of particulate matter floating around in most of the other 'useless' views that BP is presenting to us? Where is the 'floaty' (and I am sorry for a lack of a more tehcnical term here) stuff coming from and why is there more? The storm is still very far from this site.

ok, on Skandi ROV 2 we can see some oil leaking... smalln bubbles on the right side of the screen.
I haven't seen that before, so I guess the pressure is increasing. Maybe storms, moon phase or something else can impact the lower earth crust...
Let hope nothing bad happens !
One day it could be a thundercloud that shuts down work. The next, high waves that prevent vessels from skimming. Or a full moon that makes sea states even more challenging.

I have been here though not posting for a while now, since I don't seem to be able to summon the energy anymore. The last thing I posted of any merit was the capping video a while back, when they put the new capping stack on.
I want to thank the poster who gave us the link to the discussion on godlikeproductions.com about the second(first) well that was blown before this one was blown. I haven't been a fan of that site, but the proof they are providing is amazing and disgusting and rage-inducing. I have been watching the live marine thing all day and watching where the ships are, and wondering why they are so far apart, even the ones that have rov's we have been watching. A second leaking well is the answer. Suddenly, so much makes sense.
As for Dragon being the best poster on this forum, I beg to differ. Dragon is the best poster CURRENTLY, but JustMike, Divinorumus, Mr Tranny, Thistld, and MANY others have contributed VAST amounts of info, intel, and insight that made a HUGE difference in our understanding of things as they have transpired over the last few months. It is worth the 111 pages of reading if you go back and start at the top of this. JustMike has an amazing thread of his own that has gone dormant now.
I just don't want folks to forget the contributions of other posters and how it has enhanced our knowledge of this thing.
So, it is my belief now that we have not only been lied to about the most basic of things here, but even the capping situation has been a giant lie. The other leak several k away? Probably actually the SECOND well. The one we are not seeing. The one from the sinking of the rig ship.
Also, I have speculated, as have several others, that BP has been reading this site and others all along and that they respond via feeds and info based on what they read here, whether in a positive or negative way. I feel sure of that now and have for several weeks.

I am trying to get my head around the fact that they are currently working on what looks to be 2 sites when they should only be one. The risers that come from the seabed are totally different sizes:
I R Confused!!!

I seen the white smoke as well, it was like they completely sprayed the seafloor about a foot deep in spray around your 'yellow thing' lol. Then panned the cam upwards, headed that way and didnt look back down.
And agreed about the build-up on achiever maxx 1, I wouldnt leave that a day, nevermind a week.

Also a bit of a note: According to the 'Live Ships map'...NOTHING is in the Gulf...no ships, no Skandi or Q4000. The gulf is empty...So either they took the BP ships off, or we are watching fake videos.

I've noticed that too! It is very concerning that the data is being hidden now that there are rumors they are showing us the wrong well.

So if these, or some of the ROVs are not at Deepwater...where are they? What well? We need to look for numbers on this new well or a name of some sort. Also convenient that the Olympic Challengers have NO coordinates on their screens.
