i think the dome itself is yellow.

it just appears that way because it is engulfed in oil. rofl

Re: Plume may be on fire down there
I see what you're saying. The third cam down on the left does keep showing yellow bursts of what do look like fires.

But it's underwater, so it seems like the conditions would have to be extremely exact for even these short bursts of "flame."

I dunno, sometimes it's obviously the dome showing through. But other times, it seems to swirl outwards along with the plume. Which unless it's a plastic, flowing dome, it shouldn't be doing.

It's not fire, it's BP's oil solvent being sprayed up with the oil -- it will eventually cause some acid rain though when the next hurricane comes, sadly.

Re: Plume may be on fire down there
It was there this afternoon as well. I thought it was the dispersant being shot into the plume as was discussed a couple of days ago. ??

More than likely it's dispersant.

From what I have seen so far on methane well fires, it wouldn't be just a flicker.

Yes,please do pan up!

I would think if there was fire inside the plume that we would be able to see it on one of the other views. I have not even caught a glimpse of the dome on the other views though. No orange at all except in that one view.

I feel pretty good about it not being fire though because sometimes the plume will have enough of a break so that the bright yellow dome appears quite clearly.

 Quoting: North Texas


That is bizarre... It looks very much like fire within the plume, doesn't it?

But... Where would it get oxygen to BURN? No O2, no fire, it's that simple... and at 5000+ feet underwater, there ain't no O2...

Lava, volcano, center of the Earth upchucking, .....


Maybe their new hat was designed to electrocute the oil, to burn it off...

BTW what is that big thing they are lowering down to the BOP? There was a still shot of yellow things over what looked like brown vomit. It may have been a still picture but it wasn't pretty!!!
