Junk shot/explosion images for the record...

Screen grabs from either the junk shot or unplanned rupture (or both). These are in sequence, from roughly 8:30 ET this morning. Update: It appears, at least judging by the timestamp, that the live feed is back to monitoring the mud, and things look much like they did before...(??) Update II: Now the timestamp has been changed back to 7 am, and it appears to be looped from before the explosion....

"There is no light from the surface at one mile deep. All the lights come from ROVs," says Anonymous, no doubt correctly. It's sure as shit dark now, as they appear[ed] to be inspecting the carnage.
















































...since nobody else seems to have noticed(!), and who knows how long the video will be available (probably another few minutes...then at BP's discretion). An hour later almost every media outlet is still reporting on their BS "success" story fed to us (and the President) despite being completely false, yesterday.

Update: Apparently The Oil Drum (where more knowledgeable folks hang out) noticed this morning as well (though comments are all cautious and speculative).

I've uploaded the video of the occurrence here.
