DAMN I hope not that's Nasty!
Sorry with me being new it has taken me
forever to figure out how to capture shots,
upload to windows, upload to my ATS photos, then paste
to these pages...I'm not computer literate by any means,
Hell I don't even know how to type...LOL!! Hard to
believe I have a college degree after that statement, eh?

So I really haven't had time to follow any other threads except I am involved in Clouds & Pax's Project ; Test the Rain...

Sorry long way around, I haven't observed
many satellite views...

I really do like everyone being so supportive, Thank You!

Nice clear pics like they have on TV!

I could understand opening the valves to see if there are leaks before removing the 3ram stack cap. But we already know it's leaking so it makes no sense. Plus they shouldn't be opening it up before bugging out for the storm.

How do you know the gauge is on the ROV? Did they show a wide shot? It doesn't make much sense to send a ROV to the bottom to monitor it's own gauges unless the gauge is hooked up to another piece of equipment. It's been consistently just under 1000 psi - that can't be seawater pressure - so I'm betting hydraulics again just like the others. Better off watching the leak on Hos 2.

Well maybe this will work for you.

This is about as good as I can find right now so hopefully it helps. You may need to zoom in because the quality is not the best.

that is helpful. thank you.

pretty much what i suspected.

That photo I posted wasn't the same one they
have been showing with ~ 700 PSI...it's a
different PSI Gauge...

Also what did anyone think about that last photo I
posted...looked like a small lake of oil on the sea floor...

Here's a slap in the Face!

Feds: “We do not know the status of the annulus, OK?… Could be full of hydrocarbons”

Snippet
[Admiral Allen: … We do not know the status of the annulus, OK? It, there could be nothing in it or it could be full of hydrocarbons. It could be full of hydrocarbons that are being pressured up from the reservoir, there could be hydrocarbons that are in there that have been sealed off because cement actually did that from the top kill.]

OK for some reason I feel like I'm watching in
Real Life..."Catch Me if You Can!"...LOL!
I swear they ALL seem to be in acting positions
cause they have no DAMN CLUE about anything!!
Leonardo DiCaprio could handle this situation
better than these idiots! Besides the girls I'm
sure would agree on this casting...

It's oil, but not on the sea floor. It's coming from a pipe (or hose). The caption says "Coil Hose Recovery". What you see in the background is silt stirred up.

Hos 2 just showed the longest white stringy things I've ever seen by far.

I didn't see any silt & look at the depth of the ROV...I could be totally wrong however nothing was moving, all was stable when I took the shot...as far as I could tell this was the floor), that line starts pulling it up (floor entity)
after photo was taken...

I saw that myself but thought it might be the rov. I didn't know anyone else saw it.

It's hard to be sure being underwater and all but it seemed to be moving side to side a little.

Great pics again Ektar! The one with the oil .....there is something small lying in the oil.....did you notice it? Just in front of the rope. Could just be some kind of debris though. It does look just like a puddle of oil....but why would it just sit there like that? Wouldn't it get swooshed around by the current or the fans on the ROVs? Unless it's a tar mat which might be heavier....

well, I won't be looking at bp's feeds anymore people...
computer locked up last night, when my son checked it out, seems it overheated?? it's now out of the cabinent that it was in, and seems to be fine...but it's the first time that it's overheated like that, and by all coincedences, I had one of their feeds on and left it to check on supper for a few m inutes, came back and it was locked tighter than a drum.
he's gonna check it out better today, but well....
I think there is something not right about the feeds, so I am leaving them alone.

Hmmmm I've been watching them for months and have never had a problem. Hope you can get it going again....

reply to post by StealthyKat


it;s working fine now.....my son turned it off and well about an hour of cooling down, it was fine...

but, like I said, it never overheated before, shouldn't have then.

Skandi Neptune rov 2 has another one of those eruptions going on. Lots of oil globs flying around.

It settled down now. Really pixellated but it looks like oil is seeping out in a cloud. On second thought, might just be pixels. They're doing the focus/unfocus thing again.

reply to post by Ektar


LOL yeah that last pic made me WTF too...not a clue what that could be. Just got in from work so have not started the feeds yet.
