Doesn't look like they are capturing too much of the leak to me.

Wonder why it's on a global warming web page?

Noticed that. I guess that is a domain the house rep had access to.

1) Coast Guard turning new crews away stating "These are BP's rules not ours"

2). Live leak on a Global Warming feed

Politically motivated/connected???

It took a few clicks for me to see it but it worked. It is probably pretty overloaded at the moment because they just got it up and working.

I cant get the page to load. I thought the govt wanted BP to do this to keep the public more in tune of whats going on.

Is this feed from the hole in the riser that they are sucking oil from the pipe or is this from the BOP? If this is the riser, they are not sucking up shite.

There are 2 leak points:

1) the end of the riser
2) where the riser kinked as it fell over.

That looks to be the end of the riser.

I know there are two leak points. This looks like the break in the riser. They plugged the end of the riser a couple weeks back. If this feed is from the riser, what exactly are they taking in? it is way more than 5,000 barrels a day leaking out this well.

All of the links seem to be overloaded. I still can't find a feed.

The CNN link just worked for me. Had to download a plugin though.

CNN link worked fine. There were times where the entire screen was almost black. No way this thing is only spewing 5,000 BOPD.

In the left side of the screen - is the line spewing what appears to be clear liquid and bubbles the dispersant?

No, it's glitter and a rainbow coloring agent to make the oil prettier from the air when taking photos.

Is that video in slow motion? Maybe they did that to make it look like it's not leaking as much.
