News Alert: Gulf well cap removed, oil gushes freely
02:32 PM EDT Saturday, July 10, 2010
--------------------
Robotic submarines removed the cap from the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday.
BP expects to install a system to capture all of the oil coming out in the next week.
But before any permanent capping can occur, the uncapped well will once again spew its contents into the gulf in greatly increased amounts.
Within four to seven days, the new "total sealing cap" should be in place and directing the oil to ships waiting on the surface.
