British Petroleum (BP) is live casting a view from the submersible ROV that is monitoring the fractured well in the Gulf of Mexico, the result of the MC252 oil well disaster that has been spewing oil into the Gulf since an explosion rocked the well on April 20th. The video feed drives home the magnitude of the disaster but will probably also be interesting to view as BP tries to implement it's latest attempt, 'top kill', at stopping the leak. BP describes Top Kill as "The primary objective of the top kill process is to put heavy kill mud into the well so that it reduces the pressure and then the flow from the well. Once the kill mud is in the well and it’s shut down, then we follow up with cement to plug the leak."
