Blogger Monkeyfister<\/a> has been watching the BP Live Cam<\/a> all week and commenting on strange disruptions and gas explosions.<\/p>\n His account suggests the situation is worse than BP is letting on, and it’s deteriorating: <\/p>\n I’ve been watching the live Spillcam, and discussing it with folks, here<\/a> all day long. About 5pm last night, we all started taking note of gas bubbling out of the seabed floor. It started earlier than that, actually– see pic a few posts down. About 1am this morning, the eruptions began to increase in spew volume.<\/em><\/p>\n At about 8am, CDT, as I watched, things started changing rapidly. Where the water around the two major gush points used to be very clear, it is now super turbid, and detritus is flying everywhere in a chaotic manner. seabed venting is obvious to see when ROV cameras pan around.<\/p>\n Yet-to-be-confirmed rumors are that the casing wall has finally worn through, about 300 feet below seabed, at an annulus (coupling), and the gas and oil are now finding a new way out to the seabed.<\/p>\n Not good news, as it will make the Top-Kill\/Junk Shot nearly ineffectual… At the least, it means that more pressure and mud\/cement is going to be required.<\/em><\/p>\n See Monkeyfister’s dramatic account here –><\/a><\/p>\n Can you really tell what’s going on in the grainy live cam image? Since the disruptions noted by Monkeyfister, BP has delayed Operation Top Kill<\/a> and reduced estimates of the siphon collection rate.<\/p>\nDon’t Miss: Pictures Of A Louisiana Town Covered In Oil<\/a><\/h3>\n
