OT: Anyone watching the live feed of BP cutting the stack?

I think they just goofed.

An hour ago, there was only a leak at the top of the stack. Now looking the live feed, looks like there are two leaks. One still at the top (expected), and one coming out of the side (looks unexpected).. I bet those folks operating the robotic arms are right now going: oh shit.

Wish the robotics was more sophisticated then what they are capable of doing.

I’ve been watching it – and I saw the “stuck” saw yesterday. Doh!

It seems like there’s a lot more debris and oil in the water as this moves forward… which makes sense – they’re cutting off pipe which will allow the oil to flow even more, and in cutting it off they’re creating debris…

Still think all this ROV activity is just buying time while the relief wells are drilled.

The public just would not sit still if BP came out and said the only solution is to plug it deep below using the secondary bore. Ever try to plug up you garden hose with your finger in the end? But you can stop the flow by pinching the hose.

Curious that they are drilling two relief wells. They may have so much pressure that one bore will used to install a temp plug to reduce flow and pressure while the second one can pump cement for a secure kill.

It’s interesting to see how the contingencies are failing one after the other.
