My son has been flying the Chief Engineer from MMS around doing inspections on the clean up. Here are photos he took with his cell phone. The first picture is the relief rig in case the primary one breaks down. The second picture shows the middle ship which is the one that lowered the hose. The third picture is the rig drilling the relief well. The forth picture is the spill.

A company from Alberta Canada is going there to pinch the pipe and stop the leak. They currently have equipment to go down that far and cut pipe in two. This will be the first time that they will ever have to pinch a pipe off.
