BP's latest attempt to cap the spill

BP has now begun an operation which could allow the company to capture most, if not all of the oil currently leaking in the Gulf of Mexico. The operation involves removing the current cap which was installed June 4th and replacing it with a new, better-fitting cap called "Top Hat Number 10." When the old cap is removed oil will flow freely into the Gulf. The company will obviously then be in a hurry to install the new cap, which is not guaranteed to succeed.
