BP cap plugs Gulf oil leak

  • 12 years ago
Nearly three months since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, the flow of oil from the ruptured undersea oil well has been halted -- at least temporarily.

Engineers from oil giant BP are waiting to see if the new cap placed over the well can hold the oil without blowing a new leak.
