Animation 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. 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.
