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.

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

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?

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.

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?
