Alright, everyone keeps saying that the BP deep-sea oil leak is under control, but a quick check of the live ROV feed on BP's website shows several clouds of oil still billowing out.
Here's a screen grab I took about half-an-hour ago:

Now, I'm no oil expert or big-wig politician, but that hardly looks "under control" to me---unless this is all part of the plan...

That’s mud. Erl is black, and there’s no indication of entrained gas in the live picture.
I think BP is to be congratulated on accomplishing a kill in very difficult circumstances.
Although I didn’t care for their erstwhile motto “Beyond Petroleum”.

It looks like the dispersant....looks like they are pumping dispersant through the lines.

Throughout the extended top kill procedure which may take up to two days to complete - very significant changes in the appearance of the flows at the seabed may be expected. These will not provide a reliable indicator of the overall progress, or success or failure, of the top kill operation as a whole. BP will report on the progress of the operation as appropriate and on its outcome when complete.

How does cement dry underwater? Technically, cement doesn't dry, it cures.

Unbelievable. They ran out? After all this they should have 3 times what is needed on standby.

Maybe it’s a “controlled flow”.

The cement will not hold if material of any kind is still in motion.
I posted how to do this no one listened.
