This is a loop of the the first few seconds of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2RxIQP0IBU This clearly shows that the oil leak from the cracks on the Gulf of Mexico seafloor is coming from the cracks on the sea floor and is not silt being kicked up by thruster kick.

  • @avivagabriel when has it ever been that the criminal(BP) has control of the crime scene and the evidence. If the seafloor has cracks as some assert and if there is a huge methane bubble it wont matter. Lots of things wont matter.

  • @1mealperday: I agree. Why not simply test samples of these brown clouds of "stuff" to determine what they're made of?

    Why not bring samples to the surface for composition testing? Is that not possible? If it IS possible, why hasn't it been done?

    If testing HAS been done, where are the findings?

  • Doesn't appear that these hydrocarbon clouds are from ROV thrusters kicking up muck, as some contend.

    BP has admitted to cracks in their sub-sea well casing. So, I'd guess these puffs of oil originally escaped from the damaged well, traveled through sea-floor strata, and are emerging from seabed fissures.

    Why not do sampling tests?

    Less likely, these leaking hydrocarbon clouds may even be "reservoir leaks" migrating up through breached sea floor integrity, and not from the Macondo well.

  • Wow.

    The long video doesn't show it well but this proves it for me!

    Amazing job!

  • what is really needed is honesty and independent fact finding. Its our damn country and our folks need to investigate. Days of trusting BP is long gone but for the puppets.
