BP's newest plan is called 'Top Kill', this is a plan that they are hoping will plug up the oil leak for good. It involves pumping lots and lots of mud into the well to plug it up. It will take 24 hours to see if this worked, but if it does they will then go in with cement and seal the well over for good. BP says there is a 60-70% success rate with this attempt, being it has never been tried underwater.
For the last 5 weeks millions of gallons of oil have poured into the gulf, messing with the swamps, wetlands and wildlife of the coast. Lets cross our fingers this will actually work.
