The "Up to the Minute" BP Livefeed Discussion Thread

So as I recall there were many scientist especially from the universities being involved for quite some time...even prior to the so called "BP buy out"...I would think that having access (if they did) to any of the areas that they would jump at this chance in history...underwater cameras, soil samples, water samples, air samples...anything that they could study during this historical catastrophe. Look at how many states are involved & not every one is a "Buy Out".
Wouldn't it be so cool if a Navy Seal snuck in & got visual video coverage!!
Wasn't trying to be off line in any way...it just seems that more professionals would come forward during such a devastation.

Here are the other screen shots i captured last night Australian time:
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/18d6c94b6f01.jpg[/atsimg]
Here are the same cracks, they were growing larger then smaller then larger in size, this puzzled me until member Mr20121221, and i noticed they were moving silt over them and then the slit was blowing away, covering then blowing away. Therefor the change in size
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/7604ea097c5c.jpg[/atsimg]
This was taken seconds after the previous screen shot "Discharge" showing the a Bop covering the cracks with sediment as was witnesed by other members.

Although not clear from this photo, there is a small discharge coming from the crack on the right and can be barely made out, it also shows the cracks size in relation to the cage. This was captured seconds after a heavier discharge but i was a bit late on the screen capture.

Here is shot of a heavy plume captured from Challenger 2, high of the seabed floor, the plume is coming somewhere to right of the yellow cage that was captured by DragonFire1024. The bop is to high for this to be sediment and the plume was quite heavy and turbulent, but did not continue for long ( about half an hour to an hour sporadically.

Here is a shot of the crack showing a small oil discharge, the rover arm is also in the shot to give a perspective on size.

This is a close up off the cracks next to the yellow cage that slightly sank into the seabed in the photo captured by DragonFire1024. this is the closest and clearest shot i have of the cracks, there is a small discharge.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/40e549946901.jpg[/atsimg]
This is Challenger 2 way above the ocean floor looking to on challenger 1, it shows a plume coming upwards past the bop, it cant be sediment as the bop is to high up.
kindest Regards



EDIT as i have stated the left hand side of the photos have been cut, this is beyond my control, the full pictures can be viewed at media.abovetopsecret.com...&action=list_photos&album_id=15156

This action was also witnessed by member Ektar and member mr20121221.
Make your own opinion of these shots, they aren't the best as this my first time uploading.
Kindest Regards

IT'S LOOKING REAL BAD ON ALL THE MAIN CAMERAS!

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Peace

P.S. - SERIOUSLY BAD!!!!!!

edit - I was away from the computer for a while. When I first pulled up realitycheck all I could see was clouds in the water on almost every camera.

I could show pics but no need. I'm sure everyone sees it.

Is that not from May 27? (Not that old is not true.) There must be something fresher to hang our hats on...

www.google.com...

AFP: NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — The US government has ordered BP to report on a "detected seep" and other "anomalies" near the Gulf of Mexico oil well as experts monitor the seabed for cracks after the months-long gusher was capped.

"Given the current observations from the test, including the detected seep a distance from the well and undetermined anomalies at the well head, monitoring of the seabed is of paramount importance during the test period," Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said in a letter to BP chief managing director Bob Dudley.

"I direct you to provide me a written procedure for opening the choke valve as quickly as possible without damaging the well should hydrocarbon seepage near the well head be confirmed."

Not good at all...

reply to post by justadood

You may be right, we may just have 250 mph currents right now.

No, seriously - don't you see all the cloudy water?

Look at HOS Super H ROV 1.

Its funny to me how you call people asking informed, relevant questions 'trolls'.

Thanks for the updates.

Be well.

I don't think he was talking about you...though I have kept my comments confined to this thread the past few days with the exception of today.

THE ONLY FRESH NEWS, is that video on you tube. punch this in, (president obama on BP oil spill situation.) The reporter talks about a small quake. you have to turn it up , it is hard to hear the reporter, ok. NOW, the oil gushing there is on a fault, who is to say what damage , even a small quake will do. IT gets brushed off tho.

I wasn't talking about you or anyone in this thread, so no worries. I was referring to some of the other BP threads where there was name calling, personal insults and rude comments littered throughout.

Wow. I guess that correlates with what we've been seeing, but opening the well again? Will the damage to the sea floor progress if it's opened again? I have to wonder how much damage has been done beneath the floor and if that damage can be stopped at this point. Not good at all, definitely.

I would think opening the well back up would relieve pressure fro the seabed...just my MPO.

Anyone else noticing camera Boa Deep C - ROV 2? I'm no pro, but there is a substance moving through the water identical to how steam moves through the air, in bursts upwards. This moment it's pretty constant. I don't have any recording programs, but this is something out of the norm from what I've been seeing.

EDIT: It looks too light to be oil, but I haven't been watching these long so I'm no expert. It's like a light greyish brown in color.

Woah, I literally typed those two sentences, then clicked back to the video to refer to it and it had stopped streaming. When I clicked play again it was 100% calm and normal. I have a feeling they are playing damage control here. It was literally less than 10 second the camera went from showing this substance billowing up like smoke from a fire, to completely nothing.

Same here - nothing significant to see.

Not to get off topic but according to other BP thead readings things are heating up between Coast Guard and BP. Might be why we are not seeing much right now.

Boa Deep C - ROV 2
what just happened there. Like black oil smoke blew up right in its face????

BOA DEEP C 2 got a really rusty like color for a good 30 seconds right before the feed froze...how convenient.
