THE WELL IS CAPPED !!!!

Hot off the AP wire! News is that the well head is capped and oil has stopped flowing in to the GOM for the first time since the blowout in April. Cross your fingers that it HOLDS !

Now this is only a 48 hour pressure test, but so far it is holding. BP says that after the pressure test is run, they will resume capturing and tanking the oil on board awaiting vessels.

But YAY !
