Slide 18 shows a curious phenomenom which I have not seen mentioned
anywhere in this context (although it could have...), a waterspout.

Or at least someting that looks to me suspiciously like a waterspout.

Disclaimer: I am a complete ignoramus on the matter of waterspouts,
just a conjecture....

Maybe this waterspout is unrelated to the BP incident.

waterspout + transocean yields several pictures with Google Images.
