  • When this video was taken the riser was still connected to the well and was leaking at both ends. Once the riser was cut away from the flex joint this made room for the capture dome to be put in place. The riser that was left on the sea floor is no longer connected in any way to the well, so no it is not leaking. Saying the riser is still leaking is like un pluging an extension cord from the wall and saying you can still get shocked.

  • I really wish people would do a little research before posting videos. The riser is what connects the top of the BOP stack to the drilling rig at the surface. In this case when the rig sank the riser was bent and cracked just above the flex joint on the LMRP above the BOP. All 4700' feet of riser was then strung about the sea floor in a short span of 500' between the sunk rig and the well itself.

  • Gushing from floor starts at 2:00

  • This video is dated April 23, 2010.....

  • i can't see anything in this video..

  • google al jazeera gulf oil spill

  • No end in sight for oil in the Gulf of Mexico

    Fresh oil seepages raise questions about further problems with BP's damaged oil well.

    For the naysayers out there. Yes the video is old. And yes THERE IS OIL STILL COMING UP.

  • hence the earthquakes

  • The title of this video is a bit misleading.

  • Good Grief :(

  • Good Lord!

    

  • Can you add to the video description an explanation of what a riser is? I only know it as the platform choir members stand on.

  • Comment removed

  • I read somewhere that it was still leaking, and they havent managed to stop it completely

  • it is not looking like water where this bot is diving in it' looking like jelly to me. and this well is closed now? really?

  • @propylaeen or could it be a form of plasma??? (mother nature bleeding). x

  • @lyteweaver ...sorry ... meant to say 'Mother Earth'. x

  • If it WAS still gushing like this now it would be coming up to the surface at the Moncondo site.... Oil IS on the surface from time to time but from charts I have seen it has been from other sites..

  • The video is dated 4/23/2010, so it's an old video recorded by Oceaneering International. The riser wasn't even there, just a big blown-out hole! I'm amazed that they so-called "capped it" at all.

  • Is it still gushing or is this an old video?

  • Scary stuff. I hope this video goes viral. The world needs to know about this.

  • Is it still gushing like that now?

  • That looks evil.

  • thanks British royal fuckup petroleum - making the ocean a death camp.

  • These BP pr!cks got off way too easy!
