Is it not oil rather than smoke? A webcam under 5000 H2O pressure is quite impressive. Thats 150 Bar  :shock:

Theres a robot thingy there now.

Bacon, do yourself a favour and dont bother.

As for the Oil Well. Is it me or does it actually look like its getting worse rather than better ? The size of the plumes (and therefore flow rate?) seem to be much larger since BP started dropping the mud into the hole :/

I read lastnight that the operation was successful and that BP were applying the cap, but the live video feeds tell a different story.

After reading a few sites, they give the excuse that it might take a few days to stop, once the cap is applied. lol?

Other sites are also reporting a 2nd leak.

Unbelievable

Yeah they do seem to be taking their own sweet time, to me it seems quite a serious issue but it feels like its not bothering them.

They are not being governed by anyone, i mean sure people are telling them to hurry it up, but is anyone actually putting the pressure on them properly to get it done?
