The "Up to the Minute" BP Livefeed Discussion Thread

yes they are bery interested?!

check this tasty little crumb cake it hada dark rusty colored bottom and was about 3" tall maybe more. ROV 1 was looking at something similar and I wanted to get it before it zoommed out you can see it zoomed out fast..

Hey Will, I just noticed that too, couldnt figure out what it was.

Just had a read of the last couple of pages, has anyone seen the BOP properly since the white smoke was coming out of the top of it?

Can see the thing being propped up now (looked at wrong pic before) , still no clearer what it is though

FIrst off, dawnstar? I can say with 99% certainty that the feeds had nothing to do with your computer overheating. As DragonFire said, make sure the vents on your PC are clear of dust and clean out the inside as good as you can with canned air. You'd be surprised how fast dust can block a ventilation area. If it's not that, perhaps one of the cooling fans in there is malfunctioning OR your system is very, very old and can't handle it.

I see things are still going to hell down there and yeah, we have no idea where the Q4000 ROV's are. Who knows what those E,N coordinates are that it's showing, but they are either way off or Q4000 is off in lala land somewhere.

Yes Dragon said he saw the BOP.....I haven't. Not sure what happened, but it was pouring out a white cloud OR maybe the ROV was spraying dispersant on it....it was kind of far away to tell.....I thought for sure it collapsed or blew up...but ektar said he saw it too (not the cloudy stuff, but the BOP after it happened).....

Great Shots!
Hey I think we took these around the same time
I think these mounds have oil, gas, & etc building up
pressure & pop leaving the black holes & pits...
seems to be a continuous action, I was watching closely
I can't video yet but here on the photos I got...

You can see an after pop here...the black hole to
the right & can see the release coming out of it
to the left...

Maybe they are moving because of the Tropical Storm. We are supposed to get it tomorrow evening.

Go look at Skandi one...that's what I've been talking about....

I just noticed the pressure gauge is up to 1000 today most of the times I check it down around 550 - 600.

has it only been up that high for today?

reply to post by StealthyKat

catch you later...

Ektar

Aye we'll keep you informed Ektar lol, you guys are a lifesaver for during the night for me since were in totally different time zones.

Can kind of make it out on skandi1, cant tell properly but is the white at the top not just the cap?

Cant get Q4000s to work now.

Did you have much luck with that awareness thing about the feeds Kat?

reply to post by lunchmanstan


If that's the same one we were looking at
last night...it's not the same gauge... we saw 2
different ones last nite
1 = ~700 PSI
2 =~1000 PSI

Ektar

How long is olympic 2 gonny chase that fish wi its catch? lol

reply to post by niblo


Yes I think its the cap....but I was talking about what was coming out...it seems to have stopped now (of course when I tell everyone to go look!) anyway yes I did go there...it's pretty cool...thanks for the link!

Here's that earlier shot I posted...
you can see the leaks around the "White Part"
also those 2 grey patches below it that you can barely see
were REALLY leaking!
What happened was camera zoomed in to get
a view, saw leaks, & RAN...LOL did a quick zoom out
so I barely got the shot...they went to black...

No problem It was something back in the 90 some pages if I recall correctly...though its an honest guess. Someone explained the math involved...and I tried looking for it though I could totally have missed it.

Always happens when you tell someone to go look lol.

I meant with that thread you started about the quality of the feeds, did you get many responses?

And whats that in the middle of the cam on ocean int III? its moving slowly to the left edit - (out of shot now)
