Deepwater Horizon oil spill

Since the 'top kill' method didn't work in capping the oil flow I thought it's ok for a thread about the upcoming attempt, I named the thread according to the Wiki-article.

"On Tuesday, undersea robots will use a diamond-coated saw to cut through the riser pipe atop a giant stack of pipes called the lower marine riser package, or LMRP. Workers will lower a containment dome and place it atop the LMRP to funnel oil to a tanker on the surface."

So a risky new strategy that might backfire.

"The company is also drilling two relief wells that are expected to ultimately plug the ruptured well but will not be completed until August."

So it might be gushing until August.
