Don't know. Haven't been able to follow much of it today.

If you watch towards the rear of the shears I think you can see part of the tightening mechanism. Right where the paint is worn off.

Getting close--oil starting to leak near bite.
Posted on 6/1/10 at 7:14 pm to redstick13
There is definitely oil coming out around the cut now.
Posted on 6/1/10 at 7:15 pm to redstick13
Whoa, big gush of oil just shot out.

Most definitely can see oil coming from the cut now. They are taking their time with this. Maybe checking flow / pressure from the kink end near the BOP?

Oooo.... its getting it now! Get that sum bitch.

You can barely even see the shears there's so much oil now.

we should see the riser on the left fall to the seafloor right?
Posted on 6/1/10 at 7:17 pm to jennBN
Riser is starting to sag.
Posted on 6/1/10 at 7:18 pm to jennBN
I think they may have a cable on it

The drill pipe is still inside and will likely hold it up.
Posted on 6/1/10 at 7:20 pm to redstick13
It jumped like the cut went through.

Should've used those castrating crimping shears...

For those that know, what am I seeing on the live feed? What is that big yellow wrench looking thing?
Posted on 6/1/10 at 7:22 pm to jeff967
It is definitely cut in some fashion...
Posted on 6/1/10 at 7:23 pm to boxcarbarney
That big yellow thing is a 22000psi pair of snips/shears. That is cutting the bent riser above the BOP
