OK, the Oil Leak Cam now looks worse than ever to me.......am I wrong.....

It looks blacker and heavier. Maybe it is drilling mud.

NOT an expert but it looks like I assumed Oil would look before this started. Pure black.

Here is the link I am looking at. Interesting site also.

1. Hard to say what color it is w/o direct lighting.

Shadows look very black that deep. Wait for some direct lighting.

4. That makes sense. Maybe it is just brown mud. I agree lighting would cause that!

2. You are seeing the oil .... the last few days you saw drilling mud.

go on and on.

7. There doesn't seem to be a live feed on the page you linked to.

At least I can't see it.

The live feeds here: http://globalwarming.house.gov/spillcam
and here: http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_internet/globalbp/globalbp_uk_english/homepage/STAGING/local_assets/bp_homepage/html/rov_stream.html
don't seem to be working.

10. It is plausible it is now worse, that was always a solid chance with this

and the junk obviously can create friction too.

They need to collapse the well some how. Robots bearing explosives with jet propulsion????

11. It's very likely worse.

Top kill has not worked. At best, they got temporary mitigation, but it's likely that they made all the cracks and gouges in that riser line even bigger with the top-kill and junk-shot.

Looks like now they're switching to another tactic - maybe the second BOP on top of the first, or the LMRP.
