Oil Spill Update and Volunteer Opportunities in the Gulf

From the Clean Water Network:

BP thinks they are close to capping the oil well that has been spewing millions of gallons of crude oil in to the Gulf of Mexico since late April. Last night BP engineers lowered a containment dome onto the riser pipe they cut open on Wednesday. The cap is intended to form a seal around the pipe and allow BP to pump the hydrocarbons up to the surface instead of into the water. The operation is still in progress and there is no certainty that it will work any better than the previous attempts at stopping the spill. The next step in the process is successively closing four vents at the top of the containment dome. Once the vents are closed BP hopes that very little oil will continue escaping in to the water. We will not have a definitive answer on whether the operation has worked until at least the end of today if not into the weekend.
