yr just itchin to operate one of those ROV's arent you?

me too.

Gulf loop broken! Good find, though terrifying! It's VERY important everyone sees this so may I recommend starting a new thread with your title? It's not technically an 'ROV live feed' post but as a new story many more will see it. Left here, it may stay sort of hidden. Get the word out. This news has shaken me up even more than the dispersant debacle! What to do?

There is a thread about this already:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Has some good info.

I'm no expert but I think the reason they're worried about seepage into the surrounding bedrock is because it means that, despite the well cap, the well is not sealed because it is escaping along the well walls, into the bedrock and releasing out through cracks.

The more oil and gas they lose from the well, the lower the PSI inside the well, the greater the chance of catastrophic failure of the overlaying bedrock structure.

If they can't seal the cracks in the well they can never equilibrate the pressure back to safe levels because it will constantly be losing PSI.

When the PSI gets low enough the structure could collapse causing the heavier sea water to replace the unknown amount of oil thereby releasing all the oil and methane into the sea and potentially causing massive inland devastation.

I know absolutely nothing about sonar images. Can someone here tell me what all the lit dots on this screen capture are?



I am looking at the ROV feed labeled Q4000 - ROV 1 on the website morpheastruth.webs.com...

Thanks!

That's some case building up don't you all think?

A tropical depression has developed near the southern Bahamas. Movement is to the west northwest at 15 mph.

I like how some of the ROVS, like Skandi 2, operate without freezing for hours and hours, then suddenly, like today, the frames freeze every few seconds. I also like how one day the images will be crystal clear and the next blurry or pixilated. either these ROVs are really crappy, or they are trying to hide stuff from us...sorry but that's how I feel.

And still...every forecast model except for one takes it to to Gulf of Mexico right over the deepwater disaster leak point.

Does anyone know what the Q4000 2 is looking at? I don't think its at the well cap.

if there is a satilite of thermal heat you might see more heat being generated by the burning of the oil and gases and attacting the storm, perhaps it is done on purpose to bring a hurricane force over the area so they can say look what the hurricane did and wrecked the sea floor causing this leak or to get rid of the crap under the ocean and drop it in land?

That's not antifreeze they're spraying on there is it?
Looks like it...maybe to clean that gunk off or de-ice?

Exactly. The forecast is for #3 (Bonnie) is to head directly for this spill. Now is when we really need to know more about the underwater plumes that I was asking about yesterday here.

Storm surge is really going to be a big issue.

BTW, I did link this thread to a new thread I made that is for this storm specifically and for the oil spill as well. I think this thread here is best for everything on the Oil Spill, and I think the Hurricane Watch 2010 thread is best for storm reporting as well. I made the new thread as maybe a way of getting the oil people, and the weather people here on ATS to come together for discussion.

Q4000 closing all the switches to prepare for the cap coming off?

It is hard to watch Hos_Achiever_Maxx_1 just having a constant tiny little blob of oil coming out.

And what is the gauge reading that is showing on Hos_Achiever_Maxx_2 showing?

I don't think the Q4000's are even doing anything with the Deepwater well...In fact, we have no idea where they even are.

Aw, I thought Q4000 was the ROV that Skandi1 had in view beside the BOP.

Wonder whats with all the switch turning in random places then.

I swear the so-called 'unconsequential' dots of oil that are escaping on Hos_Achiever_Maxx_1 are leaking faster than they were just twenty minutes ago when I last looked.

No, they are going faster. Before, only one dot would leak out before it would pass the black line above it that is encirlcing whatever round thing the ROV is looking at. Now, twenty minutes later, two are on the screen before the first one passes the black line.

Allegedly looking for seeps in the seafloor...but they won't find any. because every time it moves, it blows whatever might on the seafloor away. Including oil blobs that might be sticking there. I have a video of what they look like. Watch the stems of oil move with the current and grow. As the oil seeps more the current detaches them and they get carried away. Most of the time it would bubble like we see in the HOS SUPER H 1, or like the June 13 video that shows the crack and seepage 50 feet from the well point leak.

Recent video:


June 13:

cheers for the vids.

This whoile things a joke, cant believe we've allowed things like this to happen and continue to do so.

Really cant stand the thought of all the rovs being grounded for days while a storm passes over either.
