No, i dont see red coming out of a crack in the ground. i see a reddish tint on the edge of the screen, which would be numerous things, including discoleration from the ROV. I posted a pic a few posts up.

Im not saying you didnt see it. I'm just saying I DONT see it, and didnt.

I think that with all the stuff floating around down there, and the amount of pixilation and discoloring, its awfully hard for me to know what i am seeing.

okay, i think i see what you are talking about here:

the reddish discoloration in the center of the image, up against the black boarder in the middle)

Yes, it is emanating from the floor on both the right and left of the screen. It keeps blocking the lights in the background. That was shooting up when I was telling people to look. Now it's just seeping.

I wish the video capture would have worked. I'm kinda irritated now. Not with you, dood. I just know what I saw and thought I had it. I was all ready to upload it and show everyone, but it didn't record.

justadood....that picture you reference that I put the red lines on were to demonstrate the craters that were on Ocean Intervention 2 at the time.

I don't think so.. just the lighting.. IMO

Skandi 2 is scanning the floor

Edit: Skandi 2 now parked

BOA 2 just showed a rig worker...I thought you were not allowed to smoke on these things?

I wonder what happened to the BOA 1&2 feeds.. they're squished.

Thanks you are totally right!!
Talk about subliminal imaging...You saw the
dark black plume shot & then an immediate switch
to a pipe with huge leaks...I was thinking 2 different
wells since the title put that into focus right off the bat...

Damn you're good!!

Ektar

it would be nice to hear what those guys on BOA2 are discussing.

Okay, I think I have a program I can record with now. If it happens again and I see it, I'll get it.

Here are some shots from today...

The red upper right is a worker....my question is
what's with the red haze & it's perfectly round...
could this be a filter to help distort the feed
that we are seeing?

Here's some major plumage...

This plume just came up out of the ground

More Plumes coming up & hydrates towards center & right

Big Plume coming up on the left

OK this is weird...right before this photo, exact same location
based on the curved railing...I saw some sort of BOP
that was RED...photo had a red hugh to it & then all of a sudden
that went off screen to show this...strange

Hey Kratos there is much plumage! Since Static Kill everything has gotten worse...increase in BOP leakage, pipe leakage, & plumes erupting from the floor...

good question on the first image about the filter!

I'm not so sure about that 'plumage', in oyur other images though. i see the areas you are pointing to, but i DONT see any opening on the sea floor that would be allowing anything to be releasing from the sea floor. How could there be a massive plume without a rupture in the sea floor??

what i think i have been looking at (and you as well, imo) is sea currents and whatnot, distorted by low-frame/image quality.I have noticed the areas that are darker pixilated regions, but i am not convinced they are crude 'plumes' at all.

Thats my opinion after watching the ocean interventions pretty much full time for the past 2 days.

Ektar, I saw the worst plume today on Ocean Interventions 2, but I was the only one who saw as dood had stepped away for awhile. It was bad, worst I have seen since this all started. Now, the area is as calm as can be. I can record now, so if it happens again, I'll get it.

Lots of oil blobs mixed with sediment on Skandi 2 now.

Wow, Skandi 2. What's going on? Did something blow?

reply to post by justadood


I agree, unless it is close in front of the camera, it is hard to tell what is going on in the distance.

reply to post by Kratos1220


Darn.. was typing and missed it

Here's a question for Kratos, Dude, & ?
It looked like you guys were on at the same time
due to postings...yet seeing different things on the same
cameras...Curious to know which site each of you
were observing? I'm pretty much on Morpheas' site...
but could be interesting you guys were on same
camera view, different sites, seeing different footage...

Ektar

Both Ocean Intervention ROV's are now offline. Ocean 1 was showing it's normal stuff, then suddenly cut in with an eel before it went off. Editing?
