Just looked at the live feed. This isn't where the "siphoning tube" or whatever it is was placed is it????

And are the pipes I'm seeing actually part of the BOP????

Is the riser the thing that looks like it's lying down? I thought that was oil coming ... oh, yeah, and I don't know shite so please don't laugh.

i might be wrong but the mud is supposed to be about twice the density of water which would lead me to believe it would not be rising out of the broken pipe but instead sinking to the sea floor.

Looks like the flow just increased significantly and something is mixing in with that oil for sure...

I'm sure BP wont tell us when they start. Hell, yesterday they wanted to turn the damn feed off so people wouldnt be watching.
