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.

Found this:
LMRP Option
Being progressed in parallel with plans for the top kill is development of a lower marine riser package (LMRP) cap containment option. This would first involve removing the damaged riser from the top of the BOP, leaving a cleanly-cut pipe at the top of the BOP’s LMRP. The LMRP cap, an engineered containment device with a sealing grommet, would be connected to a riser from the Discoverer Enterprise drillship and then placed over the LMRP with the intention of capturing most of the oil and gas flowing from the well and transporting it to the drillship on the surface. The LMRP cap is already on site and it is anticipated that this option will be available for deployment by the end of May.
lower marine riser package (LMRP)
Sounds sexual
Not that I don’t believe it, but where did you hear that?
He sucks, send him down there and shove his fat a$$ in the hole.
“LMRP Lower Marine Riser Package (ocean drilling)”
Found on a search. Now have to find what the Hell that means.
so that web cam link I just clicked is in real time ?
It’s certainly oily!
Check my post #41.
lower marine riser package (LMRP) cap containment system.
I’m not convinced that I’m not looking at a loop. I thought that on CNN, and now I’m looking at the other site.
Dont sweat it. Obama is calling the shots.
This guy is going to be awesome when he finally snaps.
Drudge says they are now using golf-balls. Doesn’t look good.
Yup ol Gibby should be good for something.
If anything the flow may be a little less than earlier today. It's hard to tell. It doesn't look as dense and the area seems smaller. This shot is from about 11:35 PM Friday.
I want to see Barry snap!
Great one here:
