1. And by the way here is a live camera within the pipe

doing the fishing expedition. ;-)

They pulled out one pipe earlier...but not the original drill pipe...one that they had used to scout. It's hard to keep up sometimes.

2. This appears to be a video inside the Macondo well

I am not an expert in this field, but I have been following this incident with interest, because I was worried the oil may reach our beaches in Spain. This appears to be the inside of the Macondo well, and if one looks at the numbers, it is a video camera filming as the camera is pulled up towards the sea floor inside the well.

I do notice the camera has a perfect view of the well, this tells me the well is filled with very clean water in the area where the camera is active. This may be a special type of salt water made heavy to contain the pressure from below? It does appear the oil spill is controlled now, and now nature can use bacteria to clean the remaining oil. The disaster is not as bad as it seemed in the terrible days when we saw that black cloud coming out of the well.
