Unless you have been under a rock you are well aware of the British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP was mandated to broadcast their live stream from the ROVs so the world could see how bad the situation really is. Recently on the BP site they added eleven different camera feeds that could be viewed, I am not sure if adding the additional feeds was mandated but never the less it gives us even more insight into the constant attempts to repair and stop the leakage.

I found one problem with the new feeds; I couldn’t decide which one to watch because they are all from different ROVs. So I decided to build a quick camera array so I could view them all at once much like the array I built on surfassateague.com. Due to all the feeds being broadcasted in the Windows Media format the array is best viewed using Internet Explorer (I know, lame…), this is mainly due to the limitation of Firefox using the stretchtofit parameter in the embed, but I digress.

So without further ado, I give you the BP Live Video Cam Array:
