Oil cam
Faux News and the teabaggers keep asking “Where is all the oil?”
I’ve got it live on my screen at work. Surreal.
*Update* They just moved the cam to look away from the gusher. They must be getting ready to try their Crap Shoot, or whatever they call it.
*Update 9:23P PT* Looks like they’ve got a waldo attaching a pipe to some underseas gizmo. Check it out, it’s really cool!
*Update 9:35P PT* I think I’m seeing a long tube that they are attaching to some type of injection mechanism. The gushing pipe is out of view, but it’s below and to the right. My guess is that once this is attached and secure, they’ll lower it on the pipe to prepare for the mud injection.
*Update 10:12P PT* looks like they are dropping underwater buoys around the site. Is that to help them orient their approach?
*Update 5/26/10* oil still spewing, they must have called the top kill off for some reason.
*Update 11:47A PT* They are doing stuff again, looks like they are adjusting stuff on what I believe to be the injector mechanism. ROV cam keeps panning around the hardward, very interesting again.
*Update 2:02P PT* I think they are injecting mud. Not too exciting to look at, and they say it could be a couple of days.
*Update 5/27/10* BP declares victory on the ‘top kill’ effort. Cam view is kinda dull, ROV just seems to be sweeping across the apparatus, presumably looking for leaks or whatever.
*Update 11:02A PT* Cam is back on the injector thingie, looks like they are pumping more mud again?
Stumble it!

[...] you if it’s even live, but it sure looks interesting. Of course, I have no idea if Crap Shoot, as Greenboy referred to it (credit where credit is due, and that sounds about right, frankly), has the remotest [...]
