Big news out of the Gulf of Mexico:
There is currently no oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico from the well that had been spewing crude into the sea for more than a month.
"They've stopped the hydrocarbons from coming up," National Incident Commander Thad Allen told WWL First News. "They've been able to stabilize the well head, they are pumping mud down it."
Allen says now they have to make sure the heavy drilling fluids, or mud, will hold back the oil and natural gas in the well long enough for them to be able to cap the well.
