for those interested, the Skandi Neptune video feed is showing what's
happening as BP replaces the cap on the blowout preventer and takes other
action - it's pretty interesting some times, boring at others. If you don't

The page on Rep Markey's site was smaller than normal. I went here to pick a non-embeded
web stream.

I hope this attempt works.


From what I've read, the BOP had one blind shear that a joint of pipe could foul. It
would seem that a second shear would have been plain common sense. My automation systems
use dual path circuits to control control power to things that can hurt one. Single point
failure in a BOP is idiotic. JMHO.
