Good idea, not sure a builder would film an 'official' one though, and not sure they'd use a 'normal' camcorder.

Im guessing it's the launch. The best place for a funny 'shock value' picture would be at the point you're suddenly accelerated.

They wouldn't show it on the day they film it - unless they did a show live from AT. They'd want a few days to edit it and put the report together. BP isn't run in quite the way BBC News is which could film, edit and run a report in hours - not days.
