 Re: live video
they put the top hat on and oil was still coming out from underneath it. looks like there is no seal and not much suction. hopefully they get the kinks worked out. as much as i hate to sound like a hippy but it broke my heart seeing our state bird covered in mud on national television. symbolism at it's finest

 Re: live video
Oh and on a different note I have worked on that Boa Deep C and it is a BAD ASS ship.
Not to mention the Polish Female BR hands walking around with thongs hanging out and sunbathing topless on the heliport were nice additions to the work day LOL
