There's been another setback in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP's latest effort to cap the oil spill were stalled when the saw cutting through the pipe got stuck:
BP early Wednesday used robot submarines and a complex maneuver in an attempt to stop the massive flow of crude oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico.What else can go wrong?
The company tried to cut into the undersea well's riser pipe, the initial steps toward placing a cap over the well that has spewed hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico every day since late April.
BP's effort stalled after the blade of a diamond wire saw got stuck, said U.S. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the federal government's point man on the oil spill.
