Hi
It's possible to watch the live feed from that damaged oil rig online.
To watch it in the browser the link is:-
http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_internet/globalbp/globalbp_uk_english/homepage/STAGING/local_assets/bp_homepage/html/rov_stream.html

It's also possible to watch it in a media player such as VLC.
This is the link:-

Just now they have got robots doing some work down there.
Here's a screenshot:-

Tried to watch it, but that webshow is terrible, got a repetitive plot line and the actors are a bit fishy...

Still it's better then "Sex in the City 2" lol!!!

That feed's been picked up on sites like uStream.com and LiveStream.com for a week now. ^_^

Hi
There's quite a lot of activity down there.
Just now they are in position to cut the riser with a diamond-wire cutter.

Here's a snapshot:-




And this is an explanation about the plan:-

Better entertainment than the crap eurovision the other night

My all time favourite is the original watching wet paint dry

Have you heard about the scientists that made a car run on water?
But it only works with water from the Gulf of Mexico...

(Sorry)

Interesting, but very boring.
