Capped!

 After 86 days of continuous catastrophe,

the hole at the bottom of the sea has been capped.

Oil is not leaking into the Gulf of Mexico

from the Deepwater Horizon location.

Much more remains to be done,

but, at least temporarily, the flow is stopped.

An estimated 689 million liters of oil have flowed into the gulf,

killing wildlife,

damaging the ecosystem

and destroying the livelihoods

of thousands of people.

Thank God!

Perhaps this is the beginning of the end

of this man-made disaster.
