Is the BP Gusher Unstoppable? ~Mother Jones
"To those of us outside the real inside loop, yet still fairly knowledgeable, [the failure of Top Kill] was a major confirmation of what many feared. That the system below the sea floor has serious failures of varying magnitude in the complicated chain, and it is breaking down and it will continue to.
Another president, another set of promises~Stephanie Grace"What does this mean?
"A down hole leak is dangerous and damaging for several reasons. There will be erosion throughout the entire beat up, beat on and beat down remainder of the "system" including that inaccessible leak. The same erosion I spoke about in the first post is still present and has never stopped, cannot be stopped, is impossible to stop and will always be present in and acting on anything that is left which has crude oil "Product" rushing through it. There are abrasives still present, swirling flow will create hot spots of wear and this erosion is relentless and will always be present until eventually it wears away enough material to break it's way out. It will slowly eat the bop away especially at the now pinched off riser head and it will flow more and more. Perhaps BP can outrun or keep up with that out flow with various suckage methods for a period of time, but eventually the well will win that race, just how long that race will be?...no one really knows.... However now?...there are other problems that a down hole leak will and must produce that will compound this already bad situation.

ok, got pics of Hayward and Allen and will try to come up with something.....
Oil has not been confirmed to be leaking from the seabed. What you are seeing in that video is silt disturbed by the ROV. ROVs always kick up dirt like that when they approach the bottom.
Here's an example of methane bubbles coated in oil leaking from the seabed:

If there were a leak, you'd see something analogous to that.
And if sand in the gusher can erode metal, then a trickling leak in the soft seabed mud will worsen rapidly.
Even if BP tried to hide it, they wouldn't get away with it for long.
Unfortunately some of the ROV cameras are transmitted at a low, grainy resolution making it difficult to view at times. The Viking Poseidon's camera is one of them.
Love your blog!
I saw your trickle, and raise you one sho'nuf Plume Eruction.
As well, this is getting confirmed by others as the information spreads: that the Well Will Collapse in a matter of time.
No more Top Kills. No more Containment Vessels.
That is the Big Problem.
I suggest you go camp out at Oil Drum http://www.theoildrum.com/
Cameron also is about to deploy hopefully with Cousteau.
Spread it as thin as you want and you will still have a blanket of epochal change.
I call it a Godzilla Moment.
GODZILLA!!!!
When the BOP falls over, the hole will then be completely open.
GODZILLA!!!
Rockets won't stop it.
Buwwettes won't stop it.
We may have to use Nukear Forz!
I appreciate your input, but this one will be larger than Canada --literally!
Pardners does Stephanie Grace have any intelligent thoughts mosey through that jughaid of hers or is she just a glorifed cheerleader for them crooks called politicians?
Stuck on stupid don't begin to describe that filly!
Yippie Kia Yea and keep up the good work Editilla.
