Government got involved, they decided to rethink what BP is doing.
Here's a site with about 18 BP cameras. This one is interesting in
that it shows the oil coming out of a side vent rather than the top.
BSkandi - ROV 2 (456854) bkup=45684 (second row 4th picture)
Only good as I write, they keep moving the cameras.
