Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Recovery - Containment Box Animation

Here is an animation we did of the lowering of the massive 4 story oil containment box that was an attempt to siphon off up to 85% of the leaking oil that resulted from when the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded and sank in the Gulf of Mexico. Frozen hydrates and ice crystals blocked the pipe leading to the surface so they aborted and moved it about 200 meters away. A new smaller dome is the next attempt. This is our artistic rendition concept of what happened and may not be an exact depiction of the actual event.
