Seems to be coming from below the bottom of the frame....

1. Center plume is still gushing upwards

The feed is beginning to clear a little and the center gusher is still going.

2. Well, first, there hasn't been a new "Blowout" event. Here's what I think is happening.

Because, at times, the water clears enough to see that the tan-colored plumes are still much the same.

The mud is heavier than water, but is blowing in an upward direction.

All these thousands of gallons are accumulating and loitering around in the waters in the neighborhood.

Eventually, some of the material has sunken and blended with the otherwise more clear seawater.

And this muddied water finally crept back in around the BOP from all sides, more from the left, and is obscuring our view.

That's what I think we are seeing.

:patriot:

3. I watched, and you might be right

IN fact, the live feed has now cleared up and it looks like it did before the "blowout"

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bounce:
