Is BP now dealing with a Volcano?

Fire rains down? See the LINK. I was watching BP feed Olympic Challenger UHD 30. It appeared to be searching the sea floor for the source of these fast falling objects at 3:45 AM Pacific time.

This is very odd, what do you see?

Thank you mmimic34 for the video!

Is it me, or am I seeing particles in a current? Some lit by the lights on the rover, giving the illusion that they are glowing hot. Although it looks like they are falling straight down, I think it is more a matter of perspective.

I think if BP were battling a volcano, then they'd of walked away from this by now calling it an act of god. You cant blame BP for a natural catastrophe.....unless theyre the cause.

And just what am I suppose to be looking at. Please take the time to add some detail and not just a couple of sentences.

I see nothing here out of the ordinary.

And what other evidence can you provide to back up your claim that there is a volcano at the Deepwater site.

A youtube video from an unknown source hardly constitudes evidence.

Well, there are many volcanoes in the gulf (mud volcanoes and asphalt volcanoes).....not sure what this is....that being said, I have seen glowing red chunks falling from above that looked as though they were steaming. The first thing I thought was that it looked like lava chunks. They would shoot straight up (just out of camera view of course), then fall in an arc. This was during one of those explosions...

I know theres a lot more happening down there than any of us here know about, but no volcano.

If you watch a video of an undersea fissure, you will notice that the molten lava solidifies very quickly, especially at those depths where the temperature is extremely cold..

There is no chance that those particles are molten lava, & ONLY molten lava is that colour. Im with 2Faced on this one.

I have added all I can to the post. IMO it was falling embers that were leaving trails. Maybe this is a normal occurrence, and an Oceanographer will post an explanation here and set it straight.

That is over illuminated particulate passing close in front of the rovers high intensity UW lights. An underwater volcanic eruption does not look like that, it looks like a black plume.

I will at least give BP the benefit of the doubt that the area was studied before they drilled to insure it was safe, and without this scenario.

On second thought, maybe the idea of an "oil volcano" is one of their sweetest fantasies.

I was just in contact with the poster of the UTUBE video. He stated that he started the recording just after the rov spotted " a mini mound that looked like a small volcano" and sat down 5 feet away from it.

I went and looked at a real underwater volcano. At 30 sec into this vid- similarities of (of the two videos) fast falling debris were there.

I am not going to beat a dead horse, but..

Here's another video of an underwater eruption

agree.

I found the underwater volcanoe video's looked just like the well as it was blowing. Another post on here has brought up a point that BP moved the rovers to a different location after tropical storm Bonnie and that the coordinates before the storm and after where completely different, and that after the storm is when the leak stopped. As in they are lying, it isnt stopped and they just moved to new location to give appearance of it being stopped.
And for the people who say they couldnt drill into a volcanoe because they would have researched where volcanoes are. They put into their safety reports about walruses in the gulf. Walruses in the gulf. How was their research on that? Pretty bad I would guess.

I feel more certain that there is volcanic activity now that I saw the video on "up to the minute".... It was taken today and clearly shows lava coming from the ground! Just go to this page and scroll down until you see thw video by Tsurfer (I think it's the 3rd video)

Well not posting but reading the BP forums I saw where you were concerned about underwater volcanos but didnt see the evidence, so here it is huh?

What have we discovered so far? Is it possible that a new landformation can happen from this disaster?

If there was a volcanic eruption I guess it could over time. There are many volcanoes in the GOM, but most have be dormant for a long time. Perhaps the drilling and all down there "woke one up" is all I am saying. I have personally seen explosive bursts with chunks of red glowing material being flung out with so much force it leaves a trail behind it. There was a massive one today (it's on the up to the minute thread)....the whole screen filled up with fiery looking material and the force of it when the explosion happened knocked the ROV out of the picture like it was a toy.

Well if the Corexit is doing what is was designed to do, you may be looking at oil particles sinking. they are redish in color

What you are seeing is most likely marine snow (dead fish matter) falling down to the ocean floor as corexit and oil as killed everything in its path.

so, they say the temperature at 1 mile below the surface of the water is VERY cold. cold enough to freeze methane. That seems cold. So how would lava stay red hot in water at that temperature?

even the video's provided in this thread as 'evidence' show the lava cooling immediatley--no red.

Yes, the falling debris has not stopped, Corexit dissolving dead fish, or freezing methane leaks? it's worse away from the well. I can't even guess anymore as the seafloor cams have all been shut off.

But thanks for replying to my most outlandish title. Can't change it now, all I can do is be more cautious in the future about my posts.
