NEW GIANT OIL PLUME SEEN IN GULF 22 MILES TO ALABAMA! PAGE 130 Look at it fight...pulsing...wow..hope it works this time around....sure does look like a dull gray color. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 940676Yep. 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. [link to www.digitaloutpost.net] I pulled it from the OP in this thread which was started on 5/21 Thread: NEW IMAGES I JUST CAPTURED....BOP OIL SPILL!!!!! <<<<<<<< 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. |

Quoting: redpill2010yah I'm not sure...but can't be good! 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. Have a nice day = GFY. GFY = Go Fuck Yourself. If this offends you then have a nice day. |

NEW GIANT OIL PLUME SEEN IN GULF 22 MILES TO ALABAMA! PAGE 130 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. |
