I just found this video on a web site for the IOOS. I linked to the YouTube version because it's bigger.

Just BP sharing the love. Remember all they're doing to help on the Gulf Coast.

It seems there could be another rig spewing oil into the Gulf as we speak.

This is fast becoming a "Zombie picture"- Try to kill him by cutting off his head, then you've got BOTH the head & the body to worry about...

NPR is running a real time video of the leak here. You can see just how effective the "cut and cap" is so far.

Rachel Maddow interviewed a professor from the University of Georgia about the Gulf spill. What she had to say is very disturbing.

You might also be interested in the next video (which will begin automatically). Taken together they're a pretty convincing argument in favor of a concerted Manhattan Project type approach to ending our addiction to fossil fuels.

is that actually live or 'taped', or delayed, or ?

i ask cuz it's 12:24 pm here, the time on the 'video image' is just a little after 10am.
allowing for time zone changes; the well is central time zone, i'm eastern-there's only a one hour difference but the camera image/time display vs EDT shows a two hour+ difference.

hence, my question.

It appears to be working beautifully. Every bit as well as deregulation would.
