BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico

Breaking news update about the BP oil spill. BP has just placed the cap over the cut that they made in the gushing oil well. So far, the effectiveness is not known. However, the procedure has been completed just minutes ago.

Unfortunately, the cut is ragged, so the cap will not fit as snuggly as BP had hoped. The video of the procedure showed dramatic footage of robots wrestling the cap into place of the jagged cut.

One reason the cut is so jagged is because the diamond saw got stuck, so BP had to use giant shears to make the cut, which could not make as clean of a cut as the saw would have been able to make.

There is no way to know how effective the cap and cut procedure was until the cap is completely fitted. Officials do believe that oil will continue to flow into the Gulf of Mexico. However, the hope is that the flow will be significantly reduced.

Also, BP has pledged to bring the Gulf Coast back to its original state. The hope to completely stop the oil flow is a relief well that will not be finished until August at the earliest.

So far, BP has received a $69 million bill from the Federal Government according to the White House. Obviously, this is the first of many bills the company will receive regarding this spill and cleanup effort.

I sure hope this is the break we’ve all been waiting for in this frustrating oil spill. Hopefully this cut-and-cap will end up significantly reducing the oil flow. BP will be in the area for years if not decades fulfilling their promise to completely restore the area. I’m even sure they can completely restore some things. Some of the delicate coast line may be forever lost.

The video below shows more about the cap and cut.

It's the innocent birds and animals and such that really breaks my heart. They found a dead dolphin today. The first of many I am afraid.

I am really sad about this situation, seeing the pics of the herring and such smothered in the oil, either suffering or dead. I am praying daily that somehow quickly a resolution is found, so the wildlife and people of the affected areas can recover quickly. What a shame!
