The "Up to the Minute" BP Livefeed Discussion Thread

I still can't get over the fact they installed a spooling tool that maxes out at 7500 PSI...yet they kept hoping for 8000 - 9000 PSI...
sounds like to me they need some REAL Engineers in there
to take over...I've been wondering how they are going to
handle all that pressure? What's going to happen once
the drill for the relief actually makes connection, when nothing
is sealed? The mud, cement, gases, & hydrates have got to all be
stirring around in that contraption from hell, because cement
can't set up without stasis which we have yet to seen...
I want to know what the real pressure readings have been
this whole time as I don't think they have been presented anywhere
except maybe in their heads....LOL!

Somebody I know is a trucker. He went to Florida over the weekend. It was near the Gulf. I believe his wife said it was Fort Meyers, but I could be wrong. His son drank some of the water. I guess it tasted awful. Me, I wouldn't have let him do it. Who knows what was in that water and what health problems it will cause.

Love it..."making it up as they go". I'm not sure there are any words more truthful then those.

Every few weeks a new theory pops up like 'whew hoo..all the oil is gone' only to find it is more bs then the last line of bs. Still, who knows? Maybe BP & TPTB will get lucky & hit on a phrase that will work for them. I'm waiting for 'the aliens did it'.

It's a vortex and many are seen in nature. It's possible they have happened forever, but it's just as possible it was created. Before now how many of us made it a part of our day to watch a fixed position on the sea floor? Regardless of how long floornados have been there one might expect an explanation since it is now known. Not holding my breath on any explanation coming from any place other that ATS.

There are 2 never before seen feeds on the Enterprise spots. Especialy Enterprise 2.

I just wanted to add this.

Thanks

Lots of oil bubbles coming from the Q4000 ROV 1. Just saw a lot that sent chills up my back.

Just a few...

Thad Allen's Update

Tests show "gap" in "well column" causing drop in pressure

it's a 15 sec video

I just posted this in another board. I didn't know that you had already done it. Sorry. Thanks for posting.

Ocean Intervention 2 is showing the BOP. Not sure for how long though.

Here's a few shots I got last night...

Ektar, do you know if that is a relief well cap they are looking at in the photos you posted above? They don't match up with the BOP and 3 ram capping stack on the well that we watched for so long. And the photos that have that blue bar at the top and bottom is not any ROV I've ever watched.

I have no idea what we're looking at I only took
photos & posted them...later I have video to
look at...I just discovered i have been shooting
it since 9 Aug...it does it automatically...LOL!
Everything is on Windows so I want to see if I can
change color settings to break through all the filters
they're using now. I messed with it some & Dragon
posted what he was using....I saw a few days ago where there are extra Cams in the water now in case there's a problem...
I either read it or it was in Big Thad's last briefing...

Ektar

Edit I was keeping up on ROV locations at one point
but when different cams show different settings & trying
to figure out which ones are UTMs & etc was taking too long for me.
So I have basically been trying to catch & report feeds & news...
I figured ALL the highly intelligent people on here would
probably be better at math figures than myself...

If it was Fort Meyers then that could mean it has already moved down the coast. I hope this is not what we think it is because I have family that live north of there in Bradendenton plus a bunch of people in the seafood industry from commercial fishermen to seafood restaurants that would take a huge hit if the oil is in that area of the west coast of Florida.

Quick question here does anyone know what the Enterprise ROV 1 is showing, I don't see anything on the bottom of it. Things seem to get more interesting everyday.

reply to post by tsurfer2000h


Good Catch...you are right....Rov info is not in anything I took today.
There are photos I took last nite 5 post above...but I don't
know if it's the same thing, new camera?, or ?
I try to get the camera info in the shots...

Ektar

wish I could catch video.

Look now - HUGE amounts of green smoke coming out of the 'cap' that has no bottom. Enterprise 1

[edit on 18/8/10 by niblo]

Trying to catch with FRAPS but having no joy. Is no-one else around here that can capture this?
