So I'll assume that that is GOOD with the pressure falling????? I mean, for a hurricane that's NOT good!

No - that looked terrible. What a lot of oil!
Does the pressure going down -- is that good or bad? somebody?

The only leak that I could see, was the leak at the top of the BOP where the riser is broken which has been leaking since the Horizon sank.

So what about the pressure going down?

I'm just the messenger. I'm curious also. I'll leave it to the knowledgeable folks on here to offer a better explanation.

Was that oil or the mud compound coming out of the riser they just showed?
Also, if the mud is overcoming the oil but its leaking into the gulf is it as toxic as the oil or worse?

Where did you see this other view? TV coverage? The video I have has not shown anything broken.

watching the other cam on cnn, it looks like oil is gushing at 3 sites pretty bad
Posted on 5/26/10 at 3:29 pm to TigerHam
Pressure from the Oil coming out? Or pressure inside the seals, as in the BOP, like my crappy Isuzu engine is leaking oil where it shouldn't be?

If the pressure is dropping that means something is leaking.

The cnn site is frozen -- if you are on don't get off. keep us posted! Too much internet action on that site/feed.
Posted on 5/26/10 at 3:31 pm to TigerHam
Yeah...
but aren't some leaks more acceptable than others?

OK wait ... I thought that there was only 1 camera total so that means no matter what source you use we should all be seeing the same thing, right?

No this means the pressure from the well is going down meaning that the leak is probably SLowing down... dont take my word on the leak is slowing down but I know if the well pressure is dropping then that is a good thing because that is less pressure for the cement to have to resist against whenever it is solidifying in the BOP

prophet I'm on cnn and the other link in this thread page 1 ...they're showing the same thing. I have gotten up from the computer but as far as I've seen there haven't been any more shots of the "gushing" from the broken riser. ??? Like I said, I have been up and down ...
