Kat, I can't find the pics where the explosion threw tools and stuff around. Can you post them again?
You are doing a great service here though, I read this thread daily as I am sure a lot of others do!

i'm certainly no expert. in fact most of what i know has come since april. w/a great deal learned here @ ats. it would seem to me there should be less activity down there. if they killed it..well??.. shouldn't it be dead? i don't understand what you are hearing explode? i believe you are hearing it, just can't image what is causing it. shouldn't bp have moved on to destroy a different eco-system by now? one might think they, bp, would want to be somewhere else.
also noticed the feel good damage control. are we to think a woman would be more forthcoming based on her gender alone? does bp have ANY employees that didn't grow up on the gulf?

thanks kat. i am mending although i found many more owees since the er drugs wore off

they know..journalists..they know. they also know who signs their pay checks. this is old news & we should all be watching happy news by now. the fault clearly lies with us don'tcha know?
i do have to give them this, what else is going on while we are distracted? i do watch other news & we aren't being told the truth there either. except for the non-stop campaigning. endless campaigning.

TY- I saw em- looks very topsy turvey. I wish is was video. My possessor is old and can't record with all of those cams going on- It hovers between 75 and 95% usage while just watching the cams.

I am certain someone on the web has all of the video archives since Aug 1st.
I have searched the web to no avail-

since the first time i heard the word 'volcano' i've looked @ the gom basin differently. check out a map of the greek isles, or any other post eruption at sea, & then come back & look at coast line around the gom & nearby islands.

something is holding the attention of bp et al. i do think they are trying to grab the oil, but they've spent enough time & money to drill a whole new well. they've had the time to drill relief wells & mess around with the bop. they hit something down there & i'm not at all sure they expected it.

They have drilled into the MOHO. That's why they won't give it up. The Chief Engineer, at time of so-called explosion, stated they were celebrating the drill depth of 35K feet when things started to go sour.

Here you see him bragging about it at 00:01:45sec........

Look it up!

Hm weird...both Olympic ROVs are without data on their screens. Data being depth, date, time etc.

Both Olympics are down now one green screen & 1 black...
Just grabbed this shot...haven't seen the "T- Horizontal"
piece before...any idea what that might be? Is it new?

COVERUP CONFIRMED: Documents show tons of submerged oil being removed by the bucket full from Pensacola coast — Feds, BP still in public denial

Snippet
[“BP’s own crews were hand-scooping it up,]

Snippet
[Coast Guard Lt. Stephen West with the Incident Command Post told the PNJ just this Friday that they, “Confirmed an area of oil a quarter of a mile long and up to 50 to 60 feet off Barrancas Beach at Pensacola Naval Air Station… [and] confirmed that buckets of sunken oil were being pulled up in another area of Pensacola Bay, near Fort Pickens at Gulf Islands National Seashore.”

This is a GREAT Read!!!

An Open Letter to US EPA, Region 6

Snippet
[During the August 25 Dockside Chat in Jean Lafitte, LA, it came to our attention that the federal agencies were unaware -- or lacking proof -- of the continued spraying of dispersants from Louisiana to Florida. Further, the federal agencies were woefully ignorant of the presence of subsurface oil-dispersant plumes and sunken oil on ocean and estuary water bottoms. We offer evidence to support our statements, including a recently declassified subsurface assessment plan from the Incident Command Post.

But first, you mentioned that such activities (continued spraying of dispersants and sinking oil) -- if proven -- would be "illegal." As you stated, sinking agents are not allowed in oil spill response under the National Contingency Plan Subpart J §300.910 (e): "Sinking agents shall not be authorized for application to oil discharges."

We would like to know under what laws (not regulations) such activities are illegal and what federal agency or entity has the authority to hold BP accountable, if indeed, such activity is illegal. It is not clear that the EPA has this authority.]

Thanks. I had seen this interview on CBS, but a refresher is always a good tool. Sorry for my lack of savvy but what is MOHO? It may have been defined a dozen times, but I'm experiencing a senior moment.
