Is this new video infrared? If so, it shows a huge oil and gas release over the blowout preventer. Hydrocarbons come out at over 300 degrees F (the hot white areas in the video) and the sea water is near freezing (black) . The BOP itself is visible because of the hot oil flowing through it. If this is infrared, it shows the largest release of oil and gas from this well yet, and one that BP has not disclosed.
