Thought some of you might be interested in the live feeds from the undersea rovers at the BP leak site in the US. Enterprise ROV 2 has some good video presently. The other ROVs may be be idle, so you have to try the different feeds at times. ROV 2 is setting at the top of the blowout preventer watching the cap that was just installed a couple of days ago over the outlet pipe. And is also leaking because the pipe is so damaged.
They are also pumping heavy drilling mud into the preventer at extreme high pressure to cap the well inside the blowout preventer. You can see when they are pumping the exhaust plume turns brown.

You will need a plugin to view the live video. FireFox works well and will prompt you on the plugin. IE is a bit harder as you have to install a ActiveX control, then choose a ROV feed and open in a new window. Great video considering it's taken at a depth of over 5000 feet.
If they are able to pump enough heavy mud in there and cap the pressure, then they will force concrete in for a final cap. Maybe in the next few days. ROV 2 moves around at times for different views, so if you watch a while, the video changes.
