BP Abandons 'Top Kill' Oil Containment Strategy

BP will now try anew by cutting the pipe that lies deep underwater and fitting a containment valve over the leak, an effort expected to take four to seven days. This time, it will be easier to follow progress on the live feed. "We're confident the job will work but obviously we can't guarantee success," Suttles said. The permanent solution of a relief well won't be ready until August.
