thx

sorta like watching the Mars Rover

Except it's live...

This is cool. Watching it right now

It's like looking at an ultrasound of your wife's pregnancy. I can't tell what anything is.

I find this situation incredibly awesome from an engineer's standpoint.


I find it incredibly appalling from a human being standpoint.

Hahahahaha! True dat. "Oh, look... he looks just like Uncle Calvin!" "What? Where? It looks like a throbbing blob of Jello to me."

Interesting that there are tons of critters darting around down there... and I'm pretty sure I saw some skrimps.

It does suck you in.

Here is what they are doing in pretty pictures: Containment

If I am seeing it right, Ocean Intervention III Rov 2 is working on the stack & the Enterprise Rovs are following the cap down - Rov 2 on the cap & Rov 1 on the thingie above it.

Does that sound right?

Ian

Yes... do you see a pen!s?

Not yet.

What'll they try tomorrow after this fails?

As an engineer, BP's approaches to this reminds me of this

Is that yellow round thing that they keep zooming in on - on the stack - just a sophisticated bubble level?

Ian

Oceaneering is about 1 mile from here...

Another website with all the cams on one page

-Z-man.

Well, the cap is in place, now they need to lock it up.

It seems to me, that if this does work, they should then go back and put the drilling mud on top.

Dang! That bad boy is spewing some oil!

The Enterprise ROV 1 and 2 show some wicked pressure.

26,000 PSI

I see the smoke monster from LOST down there trying to help out.

This is driving me crazy. I keep leaning in the direction that I want the camera to move but it's NOT WORKING!!!!

Thay gotta tighten that sucker down. It's leaking like a sieve.

I can't watch... :( AT&T still hasn't hooked up my DSL... GRRR! So I am stealing wifi(not verygood wifi)

What's the water pressure at that depth?

Last I heard was that the "cap" was really a top hat type thing to saddle on to the cut pipe and cleanly hook up a new pipe to run to the surface. Now it almost looks like they are trying to cap it off. What is this motor looking thingie?
