1. I can't tell. The angle is different than before. But the color seems too light to be oil

At least it is a lot lighter than what was coming out two days ago.

2. They said it would look worse before it got better.....

if it was going to work at all. Also said it would take 2 days to know. It's maddening to watch and wait and the fate of the Gulf lies in that beat up looking piece of equipment that is having to withstand all the pressures from below and above.

4. I hope "they" includes experts who are not a part of BP?

I don't trust anything that we've been told by BP alone.

5. And how are "they" determining this?

Edited on Thu May-27-10 09:34 PM by Avalux

What they're doing hasn't been done before; it's essentially a science experiment. Any statements about it looking worse before it got better and not knowing for two days are really just guesses. No one really knows.

6. Yep, it's different. It seems at one time there were just 3, now 5, the extra

ones on the left to me. When I look at it now it seem there are about 3 distinct colors. I certainly have no idea what it all means. I'm looking at it directly on the BP site too.

10. 16 leaks in the bop (per Kaku on KO)

We can't see all of them on the live feed. The problem is that if they force too much mud through too fast, the whole thing will blow apart and then it's a complete failure.
