Flames Are Coming Out Of The Riser

Yeah, I don't think what they are using is going to cut through that. I wonder if there is anything that can cut through that under water.

What is the ROV-tard doing???

this doesnt appear like it will work. So if i understand correctly, they are going to cut off the top of this thing and then try to put some form of stopper over it?

I would imagine that the stream of oil spilling out once the top is removed would be tremendous, how will they see?

You got it. I dont rate their chances watching this feed.

I think the saw bot is serving as a distraction.

The blade is bent and it's teeth are all phucked up.

Makes me wonder what horrible thing is going on elsewhere.

why are they cutting vertically instead of horizontally?

They seem to be taking the hardest approach possible.

They need to coat the angle grinder with aggregate diamond nanorod, and power it from a small nuclear generator or a nuclear/diesel submarine.

I pray they've thought about that, but who the hell knows.

What about a browns gas blow torch?

It looks like they've just about managed to scratch the thing before getting the saw stuck. It is a funny angle, needs rotating 90deg.

There probably is, but then the military would definitely have to get involved...

Hook it up to the screw of the Queen Elizabeth 2

Awesome! They are cutting the pipe right now.

I suspect the blade is titanium and synthetic diamond coated.
They just need more power.

They've got to slice it in to several vertical pieces. If they just try and cut the entire pipe horizontally there's a good chance it'll just bend over, sort of like a tree. If it bends, it could stress the BOP and take it down to the sea floor.

And to the previous posters question, why are they using a saw, is there anything that will cut 2" steel. Yes, it's called a burn, basically an ARC welder in reverse. Burns at 10k deg but, also causes bubbles of hydrogen that explode so that's a no go.

IVE GOT IT!!! THEY NEED TO USE NANO THERMITE!!

I think they are hoping to just cut the top corner off and hope that the oil spews out and off to the side. Maybe they think they'll still be able to see the rest of the thing that way?

Are these serpents getting an addictive high off this stuff?... BP's gonna have to set up a methane clinic down there.

why not they can use special explosives like when they cut through a bridge or something!!!

Strategically place nano thermite charges around the pipe where you want to cut thru, and then ignite.

How twisted...success at this point is to see more oil...

Seems where they are cutting is not the huge plume we are all watching day in and day out... is the large plume coming out of a pipe connected to the BOP I guess??

Now I see what's going on with this thing and what it looks like.

Why don't they have the people who brought down the WTC towers down to do this job?

BOP resistance is futile

Dayum.

Im in disbelief it has come down to this......randomly sawing and hoping for the best.

they all died in the plane crashes.
