BP put the oil leak cam back on the end of the riser

[tekisui]

and it doesn't look good. Flowing just a strong, maybe stronger.

The PBS/npr link through The Oil Drum is the only cam I can find this morning. CNN no longer has its multi-cam screen. Anyone know of any live streams other than the PBS one of the riser end?

2. Have there been any updates? Wait - that's a dumb question. Of course not. What

is the latest official word? I've heard that they're still trying to get top kill to work, that they've decided top kill didn't work and they're moving on to top hat, and a combo of both. Any enlightenment? Thanks.

3. You'll get an update on Sunday afternoon

after all of the talking head shows are done for the week.

That gives them Monday where nobody will talk about their failure.

I figure Tuesday, Obama puts the hammer down.

5. What is the hammer?

BP has been ignoring and lying to the US officials. We have been told that the government doesn't have the expertise or equipment to do more than what they are doing.

What is the hammer?

7. And the update will probably be 16 hours after the fact if they stay true to form.

I don't know what the hammer is, but these people need to be reined in. The story about shipping in "extras" for the Presidential visit are downright insulting to Obama.

There have been lots of very negative reports about BP that we're hearing about now that they're in the news. You wonder how a company with so many violations and the directive to do it cheap, do it fast, has become as huge as they have.

4. Markey's cam is working as well

6. I don't even need to look. NYT said they had the flow of oil "stemmed" yesterday

That is good enough for me.

NYT don't lie.
