Wonder if its pulse echo, doppler or vibrations from the flow that they are homing in on? Any reports you happen to hear would be appreciated as its an area my daughter works on. Also we heard just now that BP had successfully trimmed one of the leaking pipes and were hoping to divert most of the flow as a temporary measure, but that may be old news at your end.
