Very interesting.

Good cut/crush.

Thats what I’m seeing! Hopeful!

They have not said what the next step will be yet. Only said that they had to remove the riser pipe as soon as possible after the intial cut failed.

They did announce a new diamond saw was being brought in, so now that the weight of the riser pipe is gone, they may try the clean cut again.

I am sure we will see Fumbles checking the level on the LMRP shortly to see if the stack moved more upright.

which feed is everyone watching?
I get nothing but black screen from the BP website feed.
Also that link which has multiple screens only seems to have one feed showing any action. The rest are black.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Drill pipe was still inside.

Jaws cut it good!

Looks like Fumbles/rex has dropped the claw and is moving in for a closer inspection of the top of the stack. Also looks like they may be moving Skandi in closer too.

I have 2 feeds open. One is a ROV that is doing dispersant duty, and another is moving around. Check post 3505 or http://www.deepwaterbp.com/splash.asp

Check the links up post a little.

The ones I am watching are Skandi I, Oceaneering 2, and Viking 1

Good cut....did you see the splits up the side of the cut off riser. They went pretty far. Hopefully it didn’t mess up the flange.

Drill pipe was still inside.

Should it have been? Doesn't seem like so to me. I thought they were past that phase.

Did somebody leave an instrument in the patient when they closed up?

Looks like Fumbles is back on Cable pulling duty. LOL

Would you please share that link (the one with the multiple screens)? I don't seem to be able to find it.

Best two for multiple links are:

Deepwater you can just click and it opens that feed in WM Player. JTNOG you have to open the properties and the cut/paste the feed URL to open the larger view.
