The above is BP’s streaming camera link. It looks worse right now than it did about 12 hours ago. IMHO, the “top” looks to have more and “larger cracks” with more junk spewing from it.
Wish I could say I was shocked because 12 hours ago they were not pumping in drilling mud — wonder if they used too much pressure or it is the fact that what works on land may not work in the ocean with pressure on the tube.
Couldn’t believe when I read tonight at the NY Times that BP has not been putting drilling mud in the hole for 24 hours. Wonder if they saw more cracks developing?
Yeah not only does it look like the pressure is starting to further crack the riser, but the flow is a little darker. Not a good sign.
