Took awhile but they finally did it. 
There’s still a lot of clean up ahead.
What’s Anderson Cooper going to do now?
I’ll believe it when someone other than BP says it.
Poor Anderson Cooper. He won’t have an excuse to hang out in New Orleans much longer.
Back to the studio for him.
Good news for sure about the leak finally being contained!
I’m sure AC will show up somewhere wearing his tight big gun busting black T’s and I will tune in!
I have a 6 pack of some tasty brews and some good ol’ funky New Orleans music (Meters, Neville Brothers, Radiators, subdudes) lined up and ready to go for my personal celebration tonight…
I know that there are still years of work ahead, but this is the first glimmer of Good News from the Gulf in months, and I am gonna git hoodooed tonight!!!
This, given their incessent underreporting of the flow rate. Using their calcualtors, 20,000 barrels a day is actually zero.
Well there is a camera right on the leak and you can’t see any oil leaking anymore.
It’s my understanding that this is just temporary, to see if the well can be shut-in in case of a hurricane.
This is a TEMPORARY fix, the relief well and “Bottom Kill” is the way forward here.

Finally capped after almost 3 months and spilling more oil than the Ixtoc I that was leaking for about a year. Yay?
So what about the methane that caused the explosion in the first place? How is that under control?
