BP says oil flowing from ruptured well to ship on Gulf surface

The news came out that BP is going to close four vents atop the containment cap. Once the vents are shut they are hoping that very little oil will escape. Since the oil spill the oil has already hit islands off of Mississippi and Alabama. BP completed a complex underwater maneuver when it lowered a cap over the ruptured well after they cut off a piece of the damaged pipe. They didn't make a fine cut on the pipe so it is a possiblility that the cap won't be snug around the pipe and it may allow oil to still flow out.

This is a great attempt to try to limit the amount of oil that is released into the Gulf of Mexico. It still won't repair the damage that has been made to the Gulf and US states around the Gulf. It has caused the animals to have to struggle to survive through the oily sludge. It has caused great damage to the Gulf and surrounding states and it will take many years for it to get back to it was like before this disaster.
