I see that all these cameras may freeze or be unavailable at times. They are all frozen and unavailable just now. Guess the freezing/unavailability is in sync!

In my case Safari couldn't find the plug in.

I saw some pictures of the event on the CNN channel TV last night. My other attempts to see the situation over web were frozen as artsmith comments.

Were this event to happen again to another rig, what course of action would stop the spew of oil the fastest? This is what I want to know now, for it is not out of the question.

In this case I continue to wonder about the interplay of motives. Prior to the events in Haiti, and this BP Ocean Horizon disaster, I was impressed with BP. Prior to the earthquake in Haiti I had been prompted by print or TV adverts to visit the BP website, and read of their positions and agendas.

Since the events in Haiti, and the events in the Gulf of Mexico, I have come to feel that all press and propaganda from BP is consistent with advertising and PR work, that typically is not truth, but really often the opposite.

P.S. Good captioning with facts and figures of pressure, real depth, pipe diameter etc. would be helpful actually.

Firefox had a heart attack or stroke when I clicked on this link. I had to restart my computer, and I still had a hard time getting things to work again!
