In summary, there is currently a live feed of the Gulf oil spill available to the public per congressional demand. This is BP's "new hope" for stopping the spill, with various methods being attempted such as Top-Kill and Junk Shot. However, the overuse of dispersants and reports of the sea bed collapsing have raised concerns and accusations of a cover-up from senators Bill Nelson and Barbara Boxer. The live feed can be accessed through BP's website, but there are reports that it may not be truly live and instead on a loop.

now we will also be getting a live feed, per congressional demand, and this is now BP's "new hope": Top-Kill, not to be confused with the Top Hat, Large containment structure, Junk Shot... and so forth.


Sen. Bill Nelson and Sen. Barbara Boxer are having a news conference now, with video from 8 angles. The overuse of dispersant that has been dumped in great quantities ceased as of midnight last night, due to toxicity.

If anyone has a link to the live feed when it becomes available, please post it!

Oh, and both senators now claim a cover-up, which may be politics, but it does not inspire trust.

I don't believe it's showing a Live feed anymore - more like a "Loop" - Poissibly due to it being worse, or the fact reports of the sea bed collapsing?

1. What caused the Gulf oil spill?

The Gulf oil spill, also known as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, was caused by an explosion on the drilling rig on April 20, 2010. This explosion resulted in the release of over 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

2. How was the live feed of the oil spill released?

The live feed of the Gulf oil spill was released by BP, the company responsible for the drilling rig, in an effort to provide transparency and updates on the situation. The live feed was captured by remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and broadcasted to the public.

3. What were the environmental impacts of the Gulf oil spill?

The Gulf oil spill had devastating environmental impacts, including oil coating the surface of the ocean, harming marine wildlife, and damaging coastal habitats. The spill also had long-term effects on the health of the Gulf ecosystem and the local economy.

4. How was the Gulf oil spill cleaned up?

The cleanup of the Gulf oil spill was a massive effort that involved a combination of techniques, including skimming, controlled burns, and the use of dispersants. Over 1.8 million gallons of dispersants were used to break up the oil, but this method also raised concerns about potential harm to marine life.

5. What measures have been taken to prevent future oil spills in the Gulf?

After the Gulf oil spill, new safety regulations were put in place to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. These include stricter drilling standards, improved safety equipment, and increased government oversight. Additionally, BP has paid billions in fines and settlements for the damage caused by the oil spill.
