The U.S. Coast Guard says BP has been able to cap one of the three holes in a pipe spewing oil at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. But the amount of oil flowing from the damaged Deepwater Horizon well remains unchanged.
“They were able to patch one of the holes,’’ Petty Officer David Mosley said this morning. But, Mosley said, like a garden hose with multiple leaks, when one leak is stopped the flow continues from the other leaks.
The estimated flow of oil from the damaged pipe remains the same as it has for the past several days — as much as 210,000 gallons daily.
