HOUSTON — For the first time since the Gulf oil spill disaster started on April 20, the entire flow of oil was being contained Thursday as part of BP's pressure testing of a new cap, BP and federal officials said.
If the cap holds, the idea is to keep it on — and the flow checked — until a relief well can plug the blownout well in August.

Looks like the well may be capped.

Here is a nice article about Kevin Costner's clean-up machines from a source that I trust.

Maybe they will have an army of these ready for the next accident...
