The live video feed of Gulf oil spill has been added to the Rep. Markey’s site, but most sites on the internet are crashing from traffic.

UPDATE: Explosions continue and caused topkill to fail
BP Gulf oil spill junk shot explosions continue, BP officially announces topkill fails.
NOTE: There is not one steady reliable live oil spill feed source. You may need to try all the different options below. I will update that status of each.
UPDATE:
The link to the Live video feed camera of the Gulf oil spill has been added to Rep. Markey’s site at http://globalwarming.house.gov/spillcam However the global warming house.gov spill cam has been down all day. I have only been able to connect to it once for about 2 minutes. It is still down as off 9:30pm eastern.
The bad news is due to the enormous amount of traffic to the site the server has crashed. So check back later.
Update 2:
Windows Media Player Users: You can actually get the direct video feed here using this link mms://video.oceaneering.com/enterpriserov1 (requires windows media player I believe).
Windows Media Player: Alternate Link http://mms.piersystem.com/deepwater1
Status this BP provided direct link to the feed has been down all day. It is still down as of 9:37 pm EST.. I have been able to connect to this feed intermittently for a few minutes at a time and then am disconnected.
Update 3: Huffington Post 10:25pm Est – Huffington Post has switched to a Ustream Feed which is displaying video.
Ok so scratch that. It seems that the Ustream video being played on the Huffington post was only a one hour time delay of the original CNN feed. As off 11:12 PM EST there are no live feeds available
Huffington post has reported that the BP live video feed of the Gulf oil spill has crashed due to immense traffic. A comment on the post said that Weather channel will be posting up to 12 links to the feed.
Status: This feed of the gulf oil spill is working as of 12:47pm EST

Update 4:40 pm
Here is a screen shot of the BP Live Video Feed Webcam of Gulf Oil Spill as being streamed from CNN Live.
Screenshot of BP Live Video Feed Webcam of Gulf Oil Spill as gusher of oil spews from main leak pipe.
Update 6:00pm – The CNN oil spill camera was working. It was up until at 9:54 pm EST at which time the BP live feed was shut off by CNN
If the oil spill webcam video above is not playing due to high traffic you can try to watch the CNN Live Oil Spill Video Camera Feed Here:

Status: The CNN oil slick webcam has been very reliable with very little connectivity issues. This is your best best right now.
UPDATE: PBS Live Feed of Oil Leak Video 10:11 PM with barrel counter
Status: as of 10:00pm EST PSB is also reporting the Live Footage of the leak has gone offline and they are working to provide another source of footage
Udate PBS Live oil spill cam with barrel co unter posted above
I will continue to monitor the link. If you find it working please post me a comment. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2010/05/bp-siphoning-5000-barrels-a-day-from-spill-spokesman-says.html
The PBS is now playing a recording of the captured footage from the earlier live stream.
PBS has also left a link to the CNN Footage which has also gone offline.
NOLA.com – Oil Spill Video feed down as of 10:16 pm
Nola.com has put the feed on their site here http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/05/view_live_video_feed_of_bp_gul.html

It seems that CNN has dropped the video wall, but ABC news seems to be displaying it regularly. http://abcnews.go.com/video/video?id=6046305
FOX News is also playing the video wall of the Gulf oil spill. http://interactive.foxnews.com/livestream/live.html

Other Feeds/Playlist extracted from the Live BP MMS oil spill feed (Requires Windows Media Player)
A great feed source is ustream.com but you need to search for “oil spill” there because the feeds come and go.
Spill Camera Status: These have been working intermittently, some working while others have not. If you have flash your best bet to watch the live BP oil spill video right now is to try the CNN link above. If you only have Windows Media Player then try giving these a shot.

1) Open windows media player.

I am totally impressed by what you embarked on and the results! The lioness pictures on National Geographic’s website and the one here are simply amazing. I am sorry you had to mourn the passing of your camera – I have the same model and would be sad to see it so mauled – but glad that your backup plan worked flawlessly. Amazing. And thank you for sharing it with the world.

Texas has great success in the past with oil spills using oil eating microbes. Why is this not being used in the Gulf of Mexico?
It seams their are a lot of brain dead people on this planet.
Here is a video worth watching.

Jack, BP claims microbes have been investigated and wouldn't work on this scale. They claim a dead zone would be worsened with microbes.
1. Like isn't it a dead zone already?
2. Microbes are not poisonous like dispersants-they just try to be exclusive eaters in a oiled area. When
oil is gone, they should just die.
3. they outta at least test it..right?

…A whole month has passed since someone tested an oil sample from the beach with a Geiger counter and found it radioactive. No one has reproduced those measurements. It certainly appears that there's a cover-up on this news!

I saw a Bot glide directly over a 1 ft mound that was pluming oil- then it landed 15 ft away facing away from the plume- 10 min later the cam went blank. I am looking for the footage.

Dental hygiene is vasty important to complete well-being. Most people do not feel of their oral hygiene as a portion of their health, but a lot of wellness associated issues stem from infections inside the mouth. See your dentist twice a year and stop any unecessary health troubles that could have been avoided in the event you did your 2 yearly check ups.

Oil Spill Eater II
Testing of OSE II by Dr. Tsao of British Petroleum
BioChem Strike Team Leader
Regarding the Effectiveness of OSE II Remediating Oil from Deepwater Horizon, Blow Out, Gulf of Mexico
British Petroleum tested Oil Spill Eater II at Louisiana State University. Relevant sections of BP’s BCST (Bio Chem Strike Team) test results are posted.
British Petroleum formed the Bio Chem Strike Team (BCST). Under the direction of Dr. Tsao, BCST was established in response to the Deepwater Horizon incident by the Alternative Response Technology (ART) program. The BCST consisted of experts from BP, LSU, LDEQ (Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality), USCG (U.S. Coast Guard), OSPR (California), SCAT, and highly experienced oil spill response consultants. Furthermore, BCST operated in conjunction EPA and NOAA.
The tests were conducted with Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry EPA test procedures. PAH and Alkane degradation was quantified.
OSE II showed a great ability to remediate PAH’s, and Alkanes. By the conclusion of the testing time frame, OSE II remediated 80% of both components of the oil. Based on total concentration levels of the PAH’s OSE II actually remediated 200 %of the PAH’s or 162% of the total of both oil fractions.
released by BP which ended up in Bay Jimmy, Louisiana.
This test by a major oil company is the second major testing of OSE II on two of the largest spills on water in the history of Earth caused by Man. Exxon tested OSE II in 1989 and discovered OSE II was the most effective product on Alaskan Crude oil from the Valdez spill.
BP has now successfully tested OSE II on their spill in the Gulf of Mexico which is over 600,000,000 gallons of oil spilled.
Dr. Tsao wrote “After nearly one year since the Deepwater Horizon spill, residual weathered oil remains in many locations. The need for a field trial to establish operational criteria for final bioremediation work plans should be initiated before early Spring 2011.”
The OSEI Corporation after over 16,000 spill clean ups in the past 21½ years, stated the logistics in regard to the successful application of OSE II were worked out some time ago.
The remediation of the PAH’s also verifies that OSE II is an effective first response bioremediation product, and has benefits:
) causes the oil to float which limits the negative toxic impact to the water column or ocean floor of the oil and dispersant
) reduction of the adhesion properties so the oil cannot stick to birds, grass, rock or sand on shorelines
) elimination of fire hazard
) proven non-toxic by the numerous toxicity tests, you can safely wash your hands with it, the TV news program in which Retired Rear Admiral Lively drank some of it
) OSE II causes the oil to float, because of the method in which it goes to work on the oil, it is still very difficult to see
) defined end point of turning the oil into water and CO2
OSE II is the best and only needed oil spill response that will, even at this late date, remediate oil and dispersant currently in the Gulf.
