BP Oil Spill Live Feed High Definition Volcano Riser Pipe Flange After Shear Cut Why Top Cap Leaks Video

In this narrated high definition clip I point out where the top cap is now leaking by showing the riser pipe after they sheared it off just above the LMRP (lower marine riser package). In this clip you can see the five smaller pipe they cut above and below the flange that the top cap is now trying to cover. However the oil & gas will make it's way out though those smaller pipes and cause the plumes you see in the current feed from the sea-floor. Also you can see the four or five bolts that hold the flanges together. Cut them to separate the riser pipe stub from the LMPR and mount a new hydraulic coupler over the flange and you have a perfect seal. You will still need to vent from the cap you attach. Close all the vents and pressure up thing and you should be able to recover 95% of the oil.

I was just watching one of their feeds and they were using an ROV to slowly move down the riser pipe (to the ship) and expect the pipe connections along the way. As they went down the pipe, the water got murkier? and murkier until at one point they had to be like 1 foot away from the pipe to see it. After that, they lost complete sight of it and have been trying to relocate the pipe for like 30min. It's too dark and oily down there to see anything.

No? chance
