As BP works throughout the night to get the Top Kill procedure to seal off the leaking oil pipe one mile below the surface of the Guulf, you can watch the process in real time.
This procedure has never been attempted at this depth but watch as the oil escaping has changed from a black and white plume, black for oil and white for natural gas, to a brown plume representing the mix of the 10,000 tons of mud being pumped into the pipe.
If it is working sometime today, Thursday, the oil flow should slow down and eventually end.
BP cut off the live feed to the press but somehow PBS managed to keep the feed.
This view will be maintained as long as the live BP feed continues.
