LIVE FEED rov working on the oil leak in the gulf

[=bECS=]

heres a link to the live feed of the ROV (remote controlled vehicles) monitoring and working on the oil leak off the Gulf of Mexico.
There are some very clear close up shots at the moment, it looks as if they are trying to block it now.

i am so upset by all this. There were photographs in the paper today of these seabirds absolutely drenched in oil. The sad thing is even if you could wash them off they ahve ingested so much of it they will probably die anyway....it is just so sad..........i certainly hope all the other oil companies are double checking their oil wells to make sure it doesnt happen to them and i hope they burn BP bad.

The sad thing is that even with all of that retribution it doesnt reverse the damage done....I fear all those beautiful wetlands will be lost and iwould imagine some wildlife sepcies may well be wiped out or taken to the brink.

i hope everyone is boycotting BP service stations.....i know it is only a small thing but it is something we can do

dont know how much damage will be done because of the oil. There are huge oil plumes that have remained underwater, which will devastate any marine life. Most oil leaks etc remain at the surface, but because this has happened in deep water some of the oil has remained submerged from what ive read
