I think they are going to have the new CAP in place sooner than expected.

The new CAP is now sitting on the bottom while they attach the hoses to it.

The old CAP has completely lost any seal it had, and it appears to be leaking about as much as it was when the CAP was off. The CAP has been bouncing around for at least two days.

That sounds like good news. I see a lot of people say they don't know how to stop this well. People like Bill 0'Reilly to put a point on it. But it's not true. They are drilling relief wells and working on other measures like the cap to re-capture oil and gas.

Well blow-outs like this have been uncommon but they have happened and they have been dealt with.

So we have a flat out of control oil gusher on the bottom of the Gulf right now ? No working cap, no collection ?
