The plans they have put forth will NOT stop the leak, only capture more of the leaking oil....

IF the pressure tests are successful, they will close the new CAP that is on top of the NEW BOP (junior sized version) that is being mounted on top of the TRANSITION SPOOL.

The closing of that cap could occur sometime late this evening.

IF ALL GOES WELL, the leaking oil will be stopped before tomorrow morning.

I don't know where you are getting your INFO, but it is BS.

I’m quoting a BP official. If they cap the leak, all the better. But, he said the first stage would be to reduce the leak, capture more of the leaking oil, and then shut off the leak completely within the next few weeks.

HIs comnments make sense. Better to promise only what you can deliver, then deliver more than you promised.
