The "Up to the Minute" BP Livefeed Discussion Thread

Well since they were ORDERED by the government to KEEP THEM OPEN TO THE PUBLIC....maybe we could start bombarding government officials with emails....and maybe Thad Allen and BP (:lol I am really beyond frustrated....

Hi Sc, I know you guys watching closely have stated many times that you expected this shut down to start happening and happening fast, that was last week right? I dont know time is evading me, lol.

So what I am saying is Kudos to all of you that have kept us informed and able to check in for the daily highlights and commentary.

Once they do shut down all the cameras, were will you be getting the info from? will this thread continue or fizzle awaY?

I hope this thread will stay alive because there are still things going on and BP is trying to shut us off from it. I watched a huge hole open up right next to the well a couple of days ago along with other people on Reality check......after that, we saw "monitoring mud line" shots ....so I think we have a prob down there....they have also delayed the relief well and stopped updates....I am not sure what to do when the cams are gone.....but I will find some way to get info if i can. I will keep my eyes on this because I think it's far from "fixed". Gotta run.....work calls, but I'll check in tomorrow.

We know BP will continue to have their ROVs down there. The question is will they make the feeds available to us? Given the fact they didn't want us to see anything to begin with I think the answer is evident. I have no idea where, or how, we can keep the feeds available to us.

Loved that last video you posted, could not believe they actually zoomed in on the
cage just sitting on the bottom, with no movement or action to hinder what was
actually taking place....they were actually showing a close-up of the floor blowing
right in front of our faces...the hardware was NOT moving & it all looked like total hell as well as
coated in Hive...
Hate I've been missing SO much, cam feed SUCKS!...There are still the 2 procedures going on...Top & Bottom "KILL" LOL!!! Listed the start & approximate finish dates earlier this weekend...can only remember off-hand ~end date 28th Sept IF everything goes as planned. So I would think they would have to provide ROV Cams at least until everything is completed...Just saying cause WE WILL HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THAT!!
I will be able to cover only a bit at early evenings to ~ 11:00pm EST or so until Thurs...Friday 17th thru 26th I'm tied up...(National Sheepdog Finals)...hate not knowing what's going on!! Sorry not trying to be off topic was trying to let our regular informants know I wasn't flaking on the job.
I did get video & photos from the BOP this weekend...haven't had a chance to go thru them yet...seems to be
the same old story...leaks...if anyone has an interest let me know...StealthyKat, DragonFire & many others have great videos & photos...Glad to see Antar is back as well as Jaz10 & FreebirdGirl!

This was from yesterday I believe....it looks like the same area where all those eruptions happen. Which is in the debris field from the rig explosion BTW. Check out the video.....

edit on 13-9-2010 by StealthyKat because: (no reason given)

From the video description:

While doing the "Locate Riser Insertion Tool" task, Olympic Challenger UHD 30 discovers one of the Deepwater Horizon Rovs in the debris field. The Rovs from the DWH, along with those of the Olympic Challenger and the Development Driller 2, were part of the Serpent Project, doing biological surveys of the Gulf of Mexico.

Looks like it was an ROV from a different mission previous to the explosion?

here's some info about the interesting-looking "Serpent Project".

www.serpentproject.com...

that's actually a WEALTH of info in that website.



And who is this guy posting this video to know what this ROV was used for?

Cool site. But don't you think if there has been sea exploration in the gulf since 1950 then there has to be pictures of the seabed before the Deepwater incident? If so where are the pictures? I have searched and searched and still can not find any? Have you had any luck?

Have been meaning to tell you what a great site this is. I could spend days there.

There are several people here who have kept up the good fight, sometimes hour by hour, & I want to thank you all. If every one stays tuned into alternative news sites we have a chance to stay informed. We are up against a major effort to shut us out. They have, thus far, been unable to do that. They won't stop trying. We can't stop either.

"The MC 252 well has been shut in since July 15 and therefore activity among the remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) near the seabed is now limited."


Just copied the above sentence from BP's site.....this is what I meant....they are slooooooowly working thier way to shutting off all cams.......I saw this when I went to thier site to check what feeds they had up!

You are more than welcome....and I won't quit watching for sure....we HAVE to keep our eyes on this.....thanks Kno!

This is unbelievable...

Reporter: Massive fishkill so thick looks like “a gravel road” — NO TESTING to see if from oil spill

Snippet
[Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser… said there is no testing going on to determine if it’s from the oil spill, although the northern Gulf of Mexico has suffered from a persistent dead zone of low oxygen, blamed on nutrient rich runoff from the Mississippi River.

Nungesser said this is different because usually the kills happen to only one or two species of fish.]

Source www.floridaoilspilllaw.com...

Also on Florida Spill Law there are reports that BP has some kind of sensors on the life jackets & NO ONE knows what they are...possible air monitors....Also an article relating to the 2 mile hole where oil was sunk is now rising...hit 16 miles of beaches...
