A Live View to a Disaster
BP is providing a live video feed of the flow from the site of the Deepwater Horizon disaster site. The feed, here, shows the gas and crude flowing from the end of the damaged riser pipe, which I believe is about 12 inches in diameter. The company has also created a dedicated section on their website here in which you can see a breakdown on the various methods they are attempting to employ in order to stem the flow from the damaged well. A huge disaster, but nonetheless interesting to see what they are coming up with to try to solve a very complex problem.
