The "Up to the Minute" BP Livefeed Discussion Thread

Dont think it was oil cause when the feed was clear you could see it was white and smoke-like if that makes sense.

But yeah, looks like they've uncovered a hidden pipe and it could have been coming from that...

looks like skandi has found trouble..

Right are we watching the same well, same seafloor - its like all of a sudden we have been taken to different place with different circumstances

Wow...they just shut the camera off on Q4. Literally you say the screen go like a TV would when turning it off. Sorry but that was clearly intentional...if anyone got a video or a screen shot that would be great.

I can't get Skandi - whats going on?

Jesus on Skandi 1...this is insane...some how I have a bad feeling about this.

dont know how to screen capture but its like the bubbles at the cap before, only millions of them and it looks like the whole thing is shaking quite badly

can get it here morpheastruth.webs.com...

Skandi 1 no longer showing the problem area, skandi2 now online (looks like it switched on from sitting on seafloor) and is watching bop from a distance. And Q4000 is still black-screen

Trying everywhere to get Skandi, can't get it to load. What do you see?

Yep that 's what I kept saying about Q4...so obvious they cut it off.
Skandi ROV 1
And now WTF the BOP leaking like I have NEVER seen &
ALL around it!! NOT GOOD!!!

Remember the bubbles at the seal we were seeing? Well this was at a different spot, same idea but the bubbles were coming out like crazy...I mean it was like watching bubbles in boiling water. It was just truly incredible.

Yeah I remember those...did you see the
close up they just showed of the BOP?
This was worse than anything I've seen.
Leaks ALL around with the fast bubbles & larger...
and Q4000 still black out...

skandi has just zoomed out on the bop. BOA1 came on an is in the middle of a #storm

edit - skand is actually on the move, following a cable with that hose in its hand. BOA still in the storm

Interesting how out of 4 BP cameras only 1 is up & useless...
Ocean 3 ROV 1 looks like a sand bar or a landing strip for OSU's...LOL!

Thanks for the link. Just saw it bubble and leak again on Skandi, then it just stopped suddenly.

Serious? Can you guys please please please try your hardest to get some screen shots or video, my net can't handle the live feeds.

Can anyone confirm this? What is happening down there?

yeah that was true, sorry mate but i dont have a clue how to get videos, ill try and keep updates going. Q4000 is back on but showing nothing and the picture is terrible. BOA still under pressure, cant see where it is exactly

Guys if you want to grab video and images, go here and grab the demo version:

cheers, got it installed now, just trying to figure out how to capture things

Skandi 1 showing those bubbles...and they are going a million a second it seems. Worse than I have ever seen so far...this is just wow.
