Either the BP Oil Gusher Has Just Completely Blown Out, or BP is Implementing LMRP RIGHT NOW
Washington's Blog ^ | 05/28/2010

Posted on 05/28/2010 8:10:12 PM PDT by Rutles4Ever

I took a break from work, and watched the live feed for a minute. I either just saw the whole thing entirely blow out, or BP is implementing LMRP or hot tap right now.

Specifically, I saw a HUGE rain of white clumps and particles which are either foam-like objects used in a junk shot or methane hydrates.

Then all of the water within the camera view got very, very dark. When I looked more closely, I could make out the outline of massive jet-black plumes of oil rising from below the camera.

At least as of right now (6:00 pm Pacific Standard Time), if you look at the live video feed below, you can see what I mean.

This is either very, very bad, or BP has abandoned the top kill/junk shots altogether and is in the middle of surgery where it has already cut off sections of the BOP and/or riser, and is trying to cap it off with a sealing grommet.

at this very moment, they’re manipulating that crimped riser something fierce. like a dog shaking a chew toy.

LOL no lobster in the Gulf? Okey dokey. I fill my freezer every year August- November. Florida Lobster. Not Maine lobster. For the first time since I joined the attitude of many FReepers is really pissing me off. It’s not fine, stop pretending it is.

The Texas oyster beds, shrimp and fishing are fine.

I have a clue for you... they won’t be. 90% of it is down deep below the surface. If the eddy in the loop current closes off, it’s not heading toward me bud, it’s ALL heading for you.

You see so it works! I have a feeling that if they tried what I proposed it would work better than golf balls. Another thing they can try to do is insert a deep sea fishing net, then the Sham Wow, then add dried horse chips and then add the top kill mixed with human/horse hair.

Hmmm. Looks like they just repositioned the camera. I guess anything is exciting when you’re sitting here staring at those damn plumes!

+1. You can’t slam Obama for mishandling it on the one hand, and on the other hand dismiss it as “no big deal.” People are pissed at Obama, and rightly so. But that doesn’t translate into a win for the GOP unless they present some kind of alternative.

like a dog shaking a chew toy.

An ROV is more like a butterfly than a dog, and it has no way to exert significant force on a fixed structure. It grasps onto a structure only to steady itself.

it is a BIG deal. It does not mean all offshore drilling should be stopped. BP was negligent and the Kenyan POS is an idiot and doesn’t have a clue what to do. After all BP is his friend. They are all panicking. Dispersants won’t hide it, it’s too big. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg.

Cuz I have lived on the baja peninsula (both sides) and the gulf and the only place I have seen spiney lobster in abundance is the pacific side of the Baja peninsula

Will the Manatees? The fish? The Oysters? The Dolphins? The Crabs? Shrimp? The June, July spawn of all of the above? The birds? The tropical fish? The reefs? The coral? Soft Corals? You don’t have a clue.
