They have to cut off the riser pipe to attach the LMRP rack and sipon off the spill.

Looks like they’re cutting the bolts off. When the last one is cut, I suspect we’re going to see some serious $#!+

The riser is the big pipe (21 inch diameter) that comes off the top of the valve stack (the blowout preventer). The riser goes from the sea floor to the drill platform. When the platform sank, the riser fell into the sea and split open. Now they are cutting it clean off at the top of the BOP to attach another pipe which should pick up most of the oil.

What are they going to do when visibility goes to zero?

I read on TOD that the bent pipe kinked and distorted all the way to the top of the BOP. That’s why the need the rubber boot.
To: omega4179
That is cool. They probably don’t have to worry about the blade overheating.
