"BP is working on three possible solutions to stop the oil that is flowing from the bottom of the sea. First, the company is trying to repair the valve that was supposed to prevent the well from leaking. Hayward compared that operation to "conducting open heart surgery about 5,000 feet beneath the seabed."

The company is also trying to drill a relief well parallel to the leaking one, but that could take three months.

The fastest fix would be to place rectangular steel boxes, that weigh 74 tons, over the leaking pipe and then funnel the oil up to a ship. The boxes are expected to be on location next weekend.

Napolitano said BP has seen some success in using underwater dispersants and will conduct a review of the method this morning. " (ABC)
