The video you DIDN'T see on the 6 o'clock news broadcast of the BP Oil Spill Disaster in the Gulf. BP only showed you the "logical" video of the wellhead leak so that the world could watch as they attempted to "cap" it off. That's because if they had shown you the REAL leak, and the subsequent damage to the sea floor as a result of the explosion that left a huge crater and a leaking deep sea riser spewing, the odds of them being able to repair the damage would be known. That damage still exists today, and it the root cause of the documented sightings of oil seen in the Gulf near the BP Macondo well site since spring of 2011, which BP is always careful to state it's not the "well" that's leaking. It's not. It's the riser deep below the ocean floor, and the subsequent damage to the sea floor that continues to cause shifts in the plates and resultant earthquakes since April of 2010 in various parts of the Gulf states and the southern US. The demand for real answers and the truth continues.
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.

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.
