16. Actually I think game over if they succeed in gutting Social Security.

I understand that's what they're trying to find a way to do now. Billions of dollars in wall streets hands? I bet just thinking about that makes them orgasm.

5. About 3:20 in, it looks like the plume gets bigger.

But that could be an illusion of the current on the ocean floor. Just wafting toward the camera instead of going straight up, or some other direction. There can be pretty strong currents down there.

Edit: Oh wow, that doesn't look like just a change of perspective later on in the video. Flow rate changing? Different materials flowing out at different speeds?

9. Amazing explosion of what appears to bee a natural gas pocket.

Dark = oil

Light grey = natural gas

Doesn't change the dire situation, but gives insight as to what is happening down there.

:(

10. Not really an 'explosion' per se.

But yeah, there's all sorts of shit spewing out. Crude, natural gas, methane, rocks, all kinds of stuff. They could tell us, but they won't.

6. Weird, notice at 4:05 on part three. The clock stops at 18:18:41

for a minute or so right when the plume sorta pulls back into a smaller space. It looks like that bit of film is being run backward.

15. Its just over two minutes and that's definitely what's happening.

I wonder what really happened during those two minutes . . . and I wonder how much of this "live feed" is really live feed.

11. Thank you!!

This is what I saw, but the times don't seem to match up, unless I was stunned longer than I thought when I inquired about it.
