gusher possibly getting larger
Source: Monkeyfister blog

Read this this morning. Hope its not true. It relates to the gusher getting larger.

Major Change Down Below...


I've put everything back into proper chronological order, and have begun adding images and video for documentary purposes.

I've been watching the live Spillcam, and discussing it with folks, here all day long. About 5pm last night, we all started taking note of gas bubbling out of the seabed floor. It started earlier than that, actually-- see pic a few posts down. About 1am this morning, the eruptions began to increase in spew volume.

1. more stills and videos
The Sunday Afternoon 1:20pmCDT Event...


I have a friend, who is Bat Shit Crazy. No. Really. He's brilliant-- never mind that-- just looky here. Fortunately for you and me, and ironically enough, BP decided to run a repeat of the afternoon eruption i the late night, when they figured no one would notice. Our absolutely brilliant friend (did I mention he's a Mac User?), who is Bat Shit Crazy had it in him to record, and make a screen grab contact sheet of the event.

Below, you see the Riser pipe end, and a whole lot of the landscape blowing out. It spun Our Favorite Disaster Bot at least 360-degrees, before it recovered. Somewhere after the third blowout of the day, BP hauled it up. The ascent video is posted just below.

This is the Monday blog with more stills and videos. Including the ascent video of the cam coming up to the surface for cleaning.

2. That's been my ultimate concern.
Multiple situs of oil gushing on the seabed along with the enlargement of the present hole.

5. Was going to post this myself.

Glad I saw this first.

Amazing pictures and descriptions. Recommended. And very depressing - he doesn't believe that the Top Kill procedure is going to work.
