Breaking News: Huge Explosions Have Collapsed Seafloor Beneath BOP Well Head......
Awful News From The Gulf: Explosions Collapse Seafloor At Deepwater Horizon Well Head


[link to seminal.firedoglake.com]

A series of explosions appears to have collapsed the seafloor and blown up the BOP at the well head. Oil and gas are billowing out of a depression in the seafloor where the BOP used to be at an exponentially greater rate than anything seen before.

My theory: The well consisted of the casing with the drill pipe inside it. The sand and rocks that turned the gusher into a giant sandblaster that blew out holes in the riser pipe at the kinks was coming from the walls of the well that the cement between the casing and the wall was supposed to protect. Therefore, the hole has been getting bigger and bigger and now it’s like a volcano vent with the piping inside it probably a twisted mess.

If the writers premise is/was correct, you can bet dollars to donuts that they would feed us a film loop, and not a real time video. They will never tell us how bad this leak is, or the possibilities that an oil volcano is forming.

Well firedoglake always takes a left wing slant.
So if they are saying this ( knowing that Obama will take the heat for it ) I would say it's probably true.

I'm still going to take a wait and see though.

Why are we relying on BP to provide the true details and video of the mess they caused?

Shouldn't the Coast Guard have something down there as well? (Not that we can trust that one either}

Where is Cousteau when you need him?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 979949



I'm on a dial-up connection - so not able to see the streaming video the way others are. I, too, wondered about them just looping old video.

I thought yesterdays video footage looked worse than the day before. But - the lens on the camera had oil spots all over it - then all of a sudden a couple hours later it didn't. I am assuming they have more than one robot on the sea floor capturing video. If not, then how did the oil suddenly get cleaned off the lens?

There were a few times yesterday when it looked as if I was seeing the same frames that I had seen earlier. I can't prove it - but that was the impression I had.

It was just reported on Fox News (Fox and Friends) a few minutes ago that the navy had taken things into their own hands and tried to stop the leak with a large (and non-nuclear) explosion. But things have gone bad and the hole is a lot bigger now and the oil flow has gotten much worse.
