I think now they have to cut the other end of the same pipes.
ETA: You can see right there where the shear crushed those pipes.

Nope two more.... grrrrr!

I'm guessing they want to cut away the kill/choke/riser lines so the shear can get a clean grip on the riser itself. If that's the case they will likely make two cuts on each pipe.

I missed that. That's for certain the grade casing they ran? You're right, it isn't that much. They likely would have been cutting it close in order to run that long string. Weight would have been a problem for them.

And there's also a good chance that casing has collapsed.

They just dropped the freaking saw.

Never pick up power tools by the cord.

For size reference, how big are those claws on the end of the ROV's?

CNN has another view of a different ROV cutting with a saw as well.

Slightly larger than an average size man's hands.

That guy that's sawing is really getting the hang of it now. Earlier, he tried to put the blade back in the kerf without the blade turning and it looked like it put it in a bind. I assume they have some sort of rpm monitor to see if he is cutting or just spinning.
