British Petroleum (BP) originally announced that it was going to live stream video of the "top kill" procedure to the public, only to later backtrack and say it wasn't sure if it could "maintain a live feed" during the operation.
After considerable blowback from government officials, such as Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass), BP acquiesced and announced via its Twitter stream that it would continue to serve its live stream.
The "top-kill" procedure was started about five hours ago, but because most of what takes place is happening inside of pipes, most of the action won't appear on camera anyway. You can still watch the live feed for any noticeable changes in the plumes of oil. BP says the procedure could take up to two days.
