Look at it fight...pulsing...wow..hope it works this time around....sure does look like a dull gray color.



Yep. That gray tan color means they're pumping mud. When they stop pumping it changes back to reddish-brown color.



For comparison, here is a pic grabbed last week of the BOP.

I pulled it from the OP in this thread which was started on 5/21 Thread: NEW IMAGES I JUST CAPTURED....BOP OIL SPILL!!!!! <<<<<<<<
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 940676



Here's what it looked like last week on May 18th. Notice the reddish-brown plume. It also had a lot less leaks than it has now.

From the pipe -- must be a new or expanded hole... wicked.

I can't see how they can get enough pressure down the pipe with so much effluent coming out the riser and surely that other leak in the crater off to the left of this pic.

They could not get it to work last night when the efluent was half what it is now.

I think they were going to use the "junk shot" now to try to seal or slow those holes, before adding high pressure with the mud.

Doesn't seem to have sealed or slowed the leaks.

Except for the middle right -- it seems much less than before. I saw a close up of this -- looked like a piece of rubber sticking out.

mmm... seems darker on the right... but it may be that the right side is clogging up with junk, forcing more out of the left side, which is blocking the light on the right.

Yeah, it's pouring out the left side. The right seems to have really slowed down the last few minutes. Big time.

It seems rather lame to just use cut up tires and golf balls.

Couldn't they custom design something that would be sort of flat and flexy, but strong, that would go with the flow, get stuck in the BOP, plaster itself over the hole and stay there?

I mean we can afford to use high quality stuff to save the world, not just junk, right? I understand the idea of junk, that they don't know what shape or mechanical properties will work, so they put a bunch of different stuff in.

But now we see the rubber maybe sort of works and the golf balls don't. So what about something that will cover the hole better than cut up tires?

I don't know what to do about those open tubes though.

I think the reason the right side has slowed so much is because the left side has opened up so much more.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 973483



Yeah, it looks that way. And that's with the extra hole on the right that wasn't there last week and the other hole on the right seems to have grown as well. The holes on the left look a lot bigger (there could be more over there, too- it's so thick you can't see much) and I think I see cracks as well.

It can't go on like this. Something has to give, no way around it.

Freaky... I lean towards junk... because the plume is smaller. If it were just pipe being pushed out -- would get larger. I think.
