and it worked! mmm I can taste the tears and butthurt of conspiracy nuts everywhere

>>1665170

>>1665446
salaam, brother

It took them 2 1/2 months to come up with the brilliant idea of putting a cap on a gushing pipe.

>>1665469
The other 2 months was spent trying to downplay the seriousness of the spill and to save as much money as possible on cheaper methods.

didn't they try something like this early on? with a dome or something like that?

bracing for colossal pressures to re-blow the pipe and rupture the surrounding seabed

By the end of the month we'll be hearing about how the relief well blew up.

>>1665493
>>1665491

correct

>>1665504
>>1665504
seriously I know we all want an awesome extinction like disaster to happen... but this isn't it.. its over they sealed it, now we can always hope for best korea or China to fuck shit up... actually, wouldn't it be awesome if for retaliation for all the war ships china just sent a sub out and blew up the well?

And there was much rejoicing!

anyway why did it take so fucking long to put a fucking cap on it?

>>1665531

oh wow lol, that would be such a hilarious ''shit on america'' thing for china to do


but srsly dude... pressure is a sure thing... unless those releif wells get pumping soon, that things gonna blow

SUCCESS!

>>1665550
>>1665550
See
>>1665552
>>1665552
if they capped it to early before the relief well was close to being done, pressure will rape it..
in short if a storm(or anything for that matter) slows down the building of the relief well we are fucked...

>>1665490

Yeah, fucking ice crystals clogged it up.

media player? wat

I came.

Please tell me it wasn't premature.

Also. UFOs.

>>1665550
Along with the pressure thing before the relief wells are drilled, I guess the second cap had to be designed, fabricated, tested, shipped to port, shipped to scene of the spill, lowered down a mile, its a fair bit of work in the month or so since the last cap failed to seal.
I dunno if they have these caps pre-fabricated and stored somewhere for events like this or wether they had to make them especially, I dunno.

i hope things get unbelievably worse for the shit south

>>1665646
Everything is a custom job for this kind of engineering. they don't build anything until they know they're going to need it.

What if the pressure pushes the 1st 500ft of the well pipe + old BOP out?

Came.

>>1665689
Then they send in the alien technology.

Don't worry. They've got wizards and shit man.

so is it really plugged now?

BP, if you want it then you should have put a ring on it.

>>1665689
I'd imagine the new cap has relief-valves Installed onto it so they can release pressure if it goes critical.
This link has all 15 live feed on one page and there are all kinds of dials and guages being constantly watched.

IT WORKED!!!!!

the whole pipe is starting to rise up

>>1665739

God damnit 4chan. Now I *have* to watch this livestream :(

The risk of me missing something catastrophic happening is far to high.

I Missed the thing. Is there a youtube video showing how the operation went?

THANKS /b/RO

Oil spill is fixed, and it's only a few weeks after almost every media outlet decided to stop covering it because Lindsey Lohan had fingernail polish on at her court trial!

(she is so hot right now you guise)

It's still leaking somewhere:

Less than before, tough, and I think they can shut that one down.

>>1665820
>>1665820
oh shit check out the top right feed on this stream shits leaking again wtf?

What is this oil leaking from, a valve, ruptured pipe?!..

>>1665860
>before it got bad

hehehehehehehehehehe

>>1665849
Explain what the fuck I'm looking at. Is this another leak? Is it leaking out from the containment device?

>>1665860
>>before it got bad
excuse me

>>1665860
Not sure if serious, this is /new/ and stormfaggots are this stupid.

>>1665872
>>1665872


HAHAHA, that just got a mothershitload worse

>>1665905

and it keeps getting worse


LOLOLOLOL BP FAIL

It will not be tested till tomorrow morning, they are still working on placing it.

Thank Jesus that the GOP stopped the spill before Obama did any real destruction to the Gulf.

>>1665923

LOL @ OBAMA NOT GETTING ANY BREAKS

the top right hand thing thats leaking... that doesnt look controlled... that looks like something has broken


is that part of the new pipe thing?

>>1665923
>>1665923
>drastically reduces the flow of oil
>and it keeps getting worse
lolwut?

>>1665872

The leak seems to be coming from the "capping stack" according to the rov display.
Each rov feed tells you what its monitoring, only just noticed.

>>1665613

Ok, nothing to see here.
Now can we get to drilling on another well?

Skandi Neptune is a bro.

So if I'm reading this right, BP did something good, it lasted for around 15 minutes, and then the situation got worse again?

I thought this board was supposed to be about news....

>My face when one of the workers put a bomb in one of those robots just for the lulz.

My desk.

pressure 2200 psi

>>1666009

its better than it was an hour ago, but the new cap seems to have ruptured.... not as much oil is coming out than before tho

>>1666031

No, just a trickier problem.

>>1665860
it's already the worst environmental disaster in the US; ever.
Libfag status:

Wrap some of this around the pipe, job jobbed.

hollllley shit

how long till the new cap goes BOOM? pops off, flies out of the ocean and kills obama?

>>1666105
you can fix just about anything with the right amount of duct tape

the rupture holes seem very round for ruptures, wonder if its a rupture or design feature, anybody see it rupture?
I'd imagine a rupture to be more of a crack or split.

I think this is the current stack we're looking at

What was that white flush?

And here was just an other one. What was that?

>>1666031
Those are from the relief valves. Im guessing when theyre convinced the cap is in place they'll tighten the valves and shut down the other two leaks.

>>1666184

> my face when efforts to fix leak advances human technology to decades ahead of it's time.

>>1666188

Extrapolate for analysis, please.

seriously, no matter how much they limit the flow... if they close it down with 70,000+ poinds of pressure, that thing will blow

>>1666133
Remember, if it doesn't move and it should, use WD40; if it moves and it shouldn't, use duct-tape.

this doesn't look promising either

>http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/07/12/gulf.oil.disaster/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1

"If the new cap does not completely contain oil from the crippled well, some may have to be brought to the surface to waiting containment ships. But under a worst-case scenario, there could be new damage to blowout preventer."

This sentence makes no sense.

wtf is that green shit leaking out of it?

anyone have a stream of the robots working???

>>1666277
Methane gas WE GO BOOM NOW

>>1666245

It means the existing materials that they have down there have degraded and become unusable.

Which means the problem has gotten worse, because we'll have to fix that before we think about how to contain the flow.

another pic of the green shit leak wtf?

>>1666241

Thats right, you know the saying: If you can't duct it, fuck it.

>>1666277

wait wait wait


what if its mud/shit from underground well

would that mean underground there is something going wrong???

Inb4 robots are hacked by marshviperX and robot wars occurs at 5000 feet below the sea

>>1666373

It means the pressure is fucking with the area between the open water and the oil well itself.

In otherwords, what people who were worried about nuking it for may well actually be happening.

it appears the green shit has died down, i guess it was supposed ot happen/they fixed it?

>>1666385

win

they'll finally turn off the flow and the entire encasement will blow off the sea floor.

According to BBC World Service just now, they are currently doing pressure tests, so nothing is final yet.
At the moment they are more concerned with low pressure than high pressure, if the pressure is too low then that means the well is leaking below the riser.
High pressure good, low pressure bad.

>>1666385

lol.

What are they doing with the yellow cable?

anyone watching the rov2 stream have any idea what the robot is doing at this point? they seemed to be just swinging the thing around for a while, green shit leaked and now its running around with a hoop like thing?

>>1666463

can i have the link??

>>1666416
I thought they'd already established that the casing was blown.

>>1666474
OP link.

>>1666463

I suspect it's probably gathering samples.

hahahaha anyone jsut see that fail, the robot dropped the fucking yellow wire thing to the depths

>>1666515

dock its pay.

>>1666463

They're rounding up the jellyfish

How awesome it must be to get paid to drive these little dudes around.

basically its los lose either way

scientifically, we have nothing that can stop those pressures if the sebed is unruptured

but if the seabed is ruptured, we could stop the well leak BUT these ruptures will grow

its lose lose

>>1666489

if that's the case, why even do this?

>>1665084

so what is going on here???

>>1666529

Nuke that fucker and nuke it now.

If the shit can only get worse then i say we fuck it harder than it's going to fuck us.

>>1666538

cause there fags and think everyone is too stupid to realise that the well is the least of their problems

WHAT THE FUCK MAN

the camera that was watching that leaking pipe has gone....

>>1666594
>>1666594
lol cuz PBS reported the leak had been stopped... kind of bad ot say that then have a stream showing oil spill into the ocean...

>they seemed to be just swinging the thing around for a while

think that may be the ocean current moving the rov about, I didnt see what you mentioned, but...

>>1666594

theyve obviously done something wrong and looked away in shame

or the whole pipe blew up and oil is gushing

i swear im watching a loop... didnt they already put the cap on?

WTF is going on NOW

Cap has been removed oil shit storm once more!!!

OK, now it's bad to leaking on the top on OP link.

Is it leaking again?

Guise can I ask a question?
I was watching this at 6:30 PST , they took... something off of the oil pipe. Before they did that, there was no oil gushing out. And now there is tonnes of oil coming back out :| , what the fuck did they just do there?

>>1666695
>>1666685
>>1666683
>>1666681

wait its leaking again? which camera?

god it's shitting dicknipples now.

Dead Cthulhu lies dreaming, IA, IA! Wake him not.

>>1666721

That'll be that high pressure people were talking about.

SHIT DUDE CHECK THIS OUT

FUCK

Rofl this shit will never get capped.

SHITS GONNA ASPLODE

>>1666790
Ok I just announced to a train full of people that the leak is still going. They mad.

l_assets/html/Skandi_ROV1.html

I'm getting quite attatched to rov's 1 & 2 and their little hands, dawww :3

Why doesnt bp try to collect the oil with the set up they have now?

>>1666819

Because they have nowhere to put it.

Didn't Kevin Costner already fix this?!

>>1666806

/new/ news before teh news


makes people mad LOL

Holy shit the damn thing is shaking the BP oil disperant arm like a motherfucker

Skadi 1

ne1 know what skandi rov2 is up to?

Looks like it's shitting brix.

Looks like Skandi rov1 is injecting dispersent from the yellow rod thing

>>1665411
You were saying?

LOL @ BP when their sole existence is just to pollute the planet.

Some pretty angry people on this train. I've never riled people up before this is awesome.

>>1666844
>>1666844
from what I can tell Skandi 2 is going to pick up the yellow wire that was dropped earlier!

http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:45685.asx?bkup=49182

skandi 1 is a brave little robot, so near to that gusher

So does it appear to be lessened?

>>1666856

Yeah skandi rov 1 is on dispersent ops, it says on its hud, rov 2 is on stacking pipe ops.

>>1666876

Tell them they need to go home and log onto 4chan.

Herp.

can't believe they're still using that dispersant. they're going to kill a lot of people.

>>1666911

the dispersant is stupid... i was watching a report on measures stopping it and they said ''the boom stopps most oil on the surface, but a lot of oil is flowing underwater and gets through''

''what the dispersant does is break up the oil which lets it drift underwater''

HURR DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

They should have mics on the rovs so we can hear the oil gushing out, i'd imagine it to be a deep bubbling rumble like thunder

>>1666876

show them this

http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:45685.asx?bkup=49182


they will rage HARD

>>1666952

you cant hear sound underwater... its a vaccuum

>>1666940

It's for their PR campaign, less oil on the top makes it look better for them.

>>1666961
Water is not a vacuum.

>>1666940

Those fuckers. It's BETTER if the oil is on the surface. The dispersants are making the oil go deeper where all the actual sea life is.

>>1666972

As opposed to up here, where we are?

>>1666961
I allways thought water was one of the best carriers of sound

>>1666969

but what about all those movies about people can't hear you scream in a vacuum?

Oh fuck. It's going critical.

My face when Final Fantasy 7 happens in real life.

>>1666972

so the dispersant kills animals and makes it uncollectable by booms and skimmers

cool....

They are activating some switch and button, there:

What, black people losing arms and shit?

Oh wow there is a guy on the train who is on his way to Biloxi to report for volunteer duty. He's giving up school and I asked him if he was ok being there for the next decade possibly.

Another victim of bp. I didn't say it but he's just trading an education to fix their mess.

Feels bad man.

>>1667002

I mean the flow is stronger now.

>>1667015

and his health... heel get sick from teh oils

>>1667000

cnn's live feed looks like they pulled the cap back off, and oil is just gushing out in the fucking water again.

>>1667024
Well, he must put mask and glove and don't touch it directly.

>>1667015
>he's just trading an education to ruin his lungs inhaling benzene all day long.

fixed.

>>1667047

throwing away education to get high?? count me in

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

>>1666988
True you cant hear anything in a vacuum as there is nothing to carry sound waves, water/gas etc.
Even space isnt a true vacuum as it contains lots of stuff, but the reason you cant hear anything is space is because there is no pressure to push molicules etc close enough together to carry sound, like dominoes.

>>1667066
Is it Dagon?

Wut

OH SHIT THE OIL IS BECOMING A BEHEMOTH AND WALKING ASHORE

>>1667070

thats why nobody can hear you scream underwater
''BBC just reported BP has put on a better, tighter cap that will capture more oil and will hopefully stop the leak'' someone isnt watching the feed

WTF man... theres mud coming out of the hole

THEYRE SHOWING OLD PICTURES THAT ARE ''LIVE''


these pictures are from the 15 minutes that the cap actually worked

FAGGOTS

TURN ON THE BBC TO SEE LIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Who's placing bets on when one of the BP employees passes out, and knocks the cap off or otherwise fucks shit up?

>using a claw to turn knobs

Jesus, christ.

According to CNN's stream it's an ugly oil volcano that occasionally gets mad and belches a lot more out.

>>1667133
>>1667133
>knocks the cap off
>implying the camp is on
check out the livestream bro oil flowin like a mother fucker

>>1667147
>>1667147
CAP* fuck typos...

Wtf is going on skandi rov1??

>>1667147
They are using 2 fucking different feeds on CNN.
One looks like the cap is on, and nothing is leaking, and the other feed looks like a fucking oil volcano.

>the camp is on

You better belive it ducky...

Why is BP still allowed to be running this shit? They've done nothing but bungle the entire thing every step of the way. Why hasn't this become an international effort?

>>1667173

That "cap" has an opening on top if it, they aren't closing it till the relief wells are complete, if they closed it now it would probably blow off.

Any screencaps guise?

>>1667184
>international effort

OMG THE KENYAN IS LETTING THE UN CONTROL OUR OILS!!!!!111

That's why.

>>1667185
>Implying that it won't blow off tomorrow, or by the end of the week? :D

>>1667185
>>1667185
I saw them put the cap on for a good 15 minutes leaked some greenshit then they took that mother fucker off now we are back to square one

Because it is America's problem.

>>1667187
Nigger make your own. Theres tons of live feeds, just move your quater pounder finger across your keyboard and press that button.

Jesus this is the most deserved thing ever. America; built on oil, invading foreign lands for oil now choking on the shit. We will never again taste fresh gulf shrimp.

>>1667204

The "cap" was just a special gun that shot a small nuke down the well. Expect either "problem solved" or a plasmafied jet of oil an gas vapor to shoot out of the earth in a few hours.

>>1667222

Wait, they actually nuked it?

>>1667212
He's on a train..

>>1667218
>>1667211

In case you haven't realized, this is fouling up the ocean for everyone.

>>1667227
>>1667227
no... they did not nuke it.. I have been watching the entire stream...

>>1667227

you actually believe the things anon says?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>1667235

Why do you think i asked?

>>1667238

GENIOUS

anyone else see skandi ROV1 just sitting there doing absolutely nothing? wtf?

anyone else see that crack appearing at the bottom of the big white thing?

>>1667228
Neat and thanks. How big around is that pipe?

>>1667270

Smoke break

>>1667283
>>1667283
what stream you watching? right now i got 3 streams up and none seem to be doing anything at the moment?

>>1667284

I'd say about 30 inches.

>>1667284

55gal drum

>>1667293
>>1667291
>>1667289

there not doing anything because that crack is growing and has started spewing oil

they are scratching their heads like WTF we do now?

>>1667302
>>1667302
what stream shows this growing crack???? i wanna see our extinction damnit!

>>1667302
we die

>>1667293
Yeah the original leak pipe was around 20", not sure about this one though maybe around 20 - 30 inches or around 2ft-ish

http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:35523.asx?bkup=35624

that one... but there not looking at it anymore

>>1667302

> wtf we do now.

Glad to see my future is in the hands of professionals.

>>1667302

Where is the crack? On the "cap" rig or on the original piping going into the dead BOP?

lol wtf random fish just swam by one of the cameras lol

Oh look it didn't work. Bwahahahahahhahaahahahhahhahahahaahahahahahhaaha!

>>1667334
>>1667333

it was on a big white box thing and it came from a bolt

ATF they doing? there all sitting with their thumbs up their asses or something?

well they gave me hope for a second and now its looks like were fucked hahaha, 3 of the ROVs I am watching are just doing nothing right now all the heads of bp are running to some underground shelter

inb4 300 posts

>>1667384

thats prob what there doing... the camera gave them heads up that its all fucked and there running around stealing shir from the offices to save with the SUVs waiting outside to take them to a bunker

what the fuck am I looking at

why are there so many wires

huuu

We ocean now

Careful analysis of this footage leads me to believe that I don't know what the fuck is going on, there's like 12 streams.

One stream does indeed look like the oil has not stopped spilling whatsoever.

>>1667413
Why do people keep making shitup and saying stuff that is clearly not happening in any feed?

Is this like livestream liberal propoganda bullshit?

http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:44838.asx?bkup=45135

interesting shit hapening

did this thing seriously not work?

>>1667554
>>1667554
worked for like 10 minutes green shit started leaking and they took it off asap

>>1667560

that green shit was the wall of the pipe underground eroding away

>>1667560
>>1667575
so to sum up the whole scenario i can just look at this >>1667491
right?

>>1667597
>>1667597
Basically yea...

>>1667607
dammit.

>>1667620

anyone else noticing on the stream that shows the oil gushing, random pockets of red every now and then?

>>1667639
its just pixel distortion... or swamp gas. nothing to see here.

>>1667639

The blood of the ancients

damn nothings doing anything this went from awesomely entertaining to fucking boring...

>>1667575
I'd be willing to bet the green shit was just hydraulic fluid.

>>1667685
from the depths of a pocket of oil?

>>1667685
>>1667685
most likely, still not a good thing though...

>>1667726
>>1667726
from the cap that they were installing genius....

and back to nothing happening oil spilling everywhere... awesome...

anyone know if BP plans on doing anything else tonight or was that it and they just called it a day?

>>1667792
>>1667792
anyone even still in this thread?

>>1667792
>>1667924
Damn, guess i gotta samefag bump the shit out of this..

>>1667738
well sorryee for looking at it from another perspective!! i figure why would there be ALOT of green shit coming out from something that doesnt have a constant flow of green shit going into it?!

Think faggot!

>>1667792
>>1667924
>>1667939
Fuck ya bump

>>1667792
Don't know for sure so didn't want to answer but bumping for someone who does. It doesn't *look* like they're doing anything else tonight.

>>1667939
