BP Says Leak May Be Closer to a Solution

In the article, "BP Say Leak May Be Closer to a Solution," the New York Times discusses BP's latest initiatives to stop the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The spill started several weeks ago and is due to "a calamitous series of equipment and operational failures," according to Representative Henry Waxman of California. BP will be trying several different tactics to slow and ultimately stop the leak soon, so that it will stop in weeks, rather than months. Congress has passed a $118 million packet of actions to combat the spill and aid those hurt in the disaster.
