until engineers finish drilling two relief wells and try to plug that well permanently. reaction this afternoon was cautious. all of us have been watching those horrible images for almost three months now. it s the first time in that time period we haven t seen that image. but i have to stress, we have to manage our expectations. because depending on what the results are could depend on what happens next. i think it is a positive sign. we re still in the testing phase. i ll have more to say about it tomorrow. of particular concern in the next two days, what scientists cannot see beneath the seafloor. whether oil and gas could be seeping through cracks in the wellbore. admiral allen saying tonight once tests are concluded it is likely bp will return to oil capture vessels and to containing the crude. the relief well a number of weeks off, even though engineers only have 37 feet left to drill for one of them to hit home. let s turn to oil and gas industry veteran bob cavnar. who wr
