folk on the oil drum over the last half hour have been arguing that the explosion this morning wasn't an explosion at all, but rather the remote operating vehicle moving away from the riser, with the debris being kicked up by the thrusters.
it's really hard to say, isn't it?
a little lesson in the opacity of surfaces maybe, the non-transparency of images, that they may "put you there" but they are not necessarily any good at letting you know where "there" is or what's happening....
