1. Say what you will, but I don't believe it.

Anyone can make a video that looks legit and put it up. Perhaps this is the real thing, but this looks more like a city water pipe that broke. With the amount of oil we are seeing spread across the Gulf, I picture a much larger leak.

How about an independent source go down there with their cameras and film the thing, rather than the Deepwater Horizon Incident Response Center.

Maybe I'm overreacting; maybe not. But, I've learned to be very skeptical about these youtube videos.

PS - No offense to the OP; I'm not attacking the messenger.

Peace

3. Saw the video on ABC news and I don't think it looks good for BP.

To me I think their goose is cooked.

4. Everybody who was involved...

...and is currently passing the buck needs a legal and financial smackdown of epic proportions.

We had the same thing happen in the Gulf before, off Mexico's coast, and it took them 9 months to plug it. Mexico refused to pay restitution for that one.
