BP Oil Spill Top Hat Caps Well






In the above video you can see BP oil spill top hat caps well. They placed the LMRP containment cap successfully on the top of the leaking oil pipe which was cut off by giant shears earlier today. The dome now will funnel some of the oil to a containment ship on the surface. BP is hoping that hydrates will not form in the pipe which brings the oil to the surface. They are pumping methanol to the dome to prevent the pipe from getting blocked. The spill has been capped... but the oil is still gushing like mad.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
