I’m working on an information architecture document here at work, and streaming live footage of the BP oil pipe at the bottom of the gulf. Currently there are two ROVs hovering over the fresh cut in the top of the pipe, and one of them is using a sawblade to (I guess) dress the cut before they do whatever is happening next.

I take my hat off not to BP, but to the incredibly skilled workers and operators who are piloting million-dollar machines by remote control five thousand feet below the surface of the ocean to fix a problem that never should have happened in the first place. They make it look easy.
