1. Decepticons are making the hole larger

They are sick of waiting for your puny species to die off

3. LOL ok, that cracked me up.

2. oops. for a minute my heart jumped as it lookes as if the leak had stopped

but then the robot arm did something and its started back up again.

I have no idea what is actually happening. One thing to keep in mind is that someone here said this video is not on the main leak.

[tosh]

4. Yeah, it does not appear to be the main leak.

I wish they would label these feeds.

[xultar]

5. I had the same experience. These fuckers are breaking my heart...

the leak is killing so many animals and fish.

[Lerkfish]

7. agreed. I think the biggest effect on us will be the death of plankton and

algae and other small creatures that help generate OXYGEN. That's a long term effect that our grandchildren will no doubt have to contend with.

Coral reefs were already dying off due to global warming... this is beyond tragic.

6. Oh. So it's not on the main leak now? Is the main image we see usually the main leak?

Yeah. It'd be nice if this crap was actually accompanied with expert explanations.

[Lerkfish]

8. that's what someone said here, I don't know that for a fact

but it seems reasonable since this leak does not look as big as the screen captures I've seen previously.

9. but then the robot arm did something and its started back up again

"No, you're turning the valve the wrong direction! I said open it up, not turn it off!"
