Anyone know what is happening? It looks like a big boxy looking cover was down there and then the water gets murky
and turns the screen black. ???

Here is the link to the cam:

BP prepares oil leak cap as anger grows along Louisiana coast

http://www.english.rfi.fr/americas/20100523-bp-prepares-oil-leak-cap-anger-grows-along-louisiana-coast

By RFI

The latest attempt to stop the month-long oil leakage from a damaged offshore rig has run into more delays, and anger is mounting as oil continues to wash up on the coast of the state of Louisiana in the southern United States. The plan by BP, which leased the damaged rig, to cap the leak this weekend has been delayed, and may not start until Tuesday.

1. I agree.
However, it may only be the position of the camera (mounted on a moving bot). Still, it appears something has changed.

5. They should put a variable sized icon of a 6 foot tall person...
in the corner of the screen that adjusts to scale when the camera moves in and out.

This would give the viewer an idea of the correct size of that thing...it is really frightening when the camera zooms in.

I wonder if there is video software that does that?
