    The feed from the camera from the ROV is off of the oil and gas gushing out of the riser pipe and onto a piece of equipment, not sure if that the BOP or some other equipment involved in the top kill.

    Glad I don't have to figure out "whats what" down there. All looks Greek to me. I sure hope and pray this works.

    This is inline with what they were saying on Fox, that they needed to do more tests. It really sounded like they were setting the stage for not doing the top kill at all.
