8. That picture seems to go perfectly with every post.

Like those pictures where the eyes follow you around no matter where you stand.

16. I noticed that too, lol. My little tribute to Mr. Coleman. n/t

3. Lower marine riser package, surely...

...been talk of that on oildrum.com for a while.

[RKP5637]

5. Yep, must be, sure looks pretty much like it... that certainly is an interesting site. I'm

glad they are there keeping everyone updated with good info.

4. What just went flying by the camera?

I just see black now.

[RKP5637]

6. Missed it... about all they need now is a giant squid or something to pay a visit and

toss around things. n/t

7. Are any cameras seeing more than black now? nt

10. The camera I'm watching has just reached the surface, on a ship.

This explains the blank screen.

I need to find a different feed.

12. Oh that lovely green color when they are out of the water

protecting identities?

[RKP5637]

11. Just a minute ago they were showing the top of the ship, a guy was walking around. nt

[flamingdem]

13. I am bummed out I missed that nt

[Junkdrawer]

9. The BOP appears to be gushing like it's never gushed before....

how the hell do you lower ANYTHING over something like that?

[RKP5637]

14. I was noticing that earlier today that it was gushing like never before

from what I had seen. I was wondering if some of the junk/mud had blown out.

15. Different feed here, WKRG:

19. Looks like green jello and fruit compote in a blender nt

[RKP5637]

21. LOL has to be some humor in all of this to keep sanity...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

18. Now they are cutting something - but I just 'tuned in' so I don't know what

Looks like some sort of collar around a large pipe.

[Stardust]

22. According to TheOilDrum.com...

Choke & Kill lines now being cut away from the outside of the riser by the ROV disk cutter. Should leave access for the band saw to cleanly clamp on the riser.

[csziggy]

25. I tried top get in there, but it timed out

Probably LOTS of people checking to see what is happening.

[flamingdem]

20. I am worried. Too much is at stake here nt

[Gin]

23. the picture on this camera site is so clear...I almost understand what I am watching

the BP sites are too small and dark..

[csziggy]

24. You can right click on the BP feed and select 100%, 200% or full screen

I have been keeping a 200% sized image in a separatte window on the corner of my screen.

Cool - we just got to see a shot of the ROV cutting attached to the side of the top of the BOP. This at least lets me channel my worry about the situation.
