I like how they needed clearance from the coast guard to try and stop millions of gallons of oil from gushing into the gulf.

Well, on the feed I saw a section of pipe open up like a can of fucking tuna and more of what I guess is mud/brine coming out.

Guess they might be expecting this sort of shit happen, though

Good friend of mine is running one of the ROV's for oceaneering. He has been a good source of info.

My old office is FILLED with BP guys right now. Was up there today. Interesting stuff.

We can put a web cam 5000 feet underwater with an Internet connection, yet we can't throw a fuck ton of shamwow's in a fucking hole in the ground.

So, what are the chances of a catastrophic failure of the BOP due to pressure?

 

[Tomorleans]

Wonder if the seal around the insertion tube isn't holding or brokeded..

 

[Cthalupa]

19 hours in and it doesn't look like it's done much of anything

 

[Tomorleans]

You should. Human error fucked you. Good luck

So that brown shit spewing out is mud or oil?
