Well Gets Capped, No More Oil, Says BP

Associated Press reports the following via foxnews.comThursday: "A tightly fitted cap was successfully keeping oil from gushing into the Gulf of Mexico for the first time in three months, BP said ..."

Alabama Gov. Bob Riley was elated to get the news, saying, "I think a lot of prayers were answered today."

BP Vice President Ken Wells claimed at a news briefing that the oil "ceased flowing into the water at 2:25 p.m. CDT after engineers gradually dialed down the amount of crude escaping through the last of three valves in the 75-ton cap."

Randall Luthi, president of the Washington, D.C.-based National Ocean Industries Association, said, "We hope this is a reliable fix to the immediate flow of oil until the relief wells are completed."
