After some setbacks, BP has successfully severed a riser pipe, preparing the way to lower a containment dome over the well in the Gulf of Mexico, that should, according to BP’s plan, capture a large quantity of the oil that has been gushing out of control since April 20th. Operators are now (11:15 CDT) using a circular saw to smooth the edges of the pipe to ensure a tighter fit for the dome.
We hope to have the video feed of the operation up soon.
