Gulf well cap removed, oil gushes freely

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.

I have been intentionally turning off the news when this story comes on as well. I don't even live in the area most impacted and it upsets me to no end.  I can only imagine how you feel R.  I cannot believe this is still going on.

Hopefully it will work but I have taken a break from the BP roller caster ride of emotions.
The last month has been a bad month for me. I suffer from panic/anxiety attacks. I have taken far more xanax than I usually do. When I go through spurts like this I have learned to cull out as much stress as possible. Needless to say I haven’t been keeping up with it. I figure when there is good news, someone will let me know.
