The Gulf oil spill appeared momentarily to have been stopped by the latest containment cap, PBS Newshour and CNN reported.
"There does not appear to be oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico," reported PBS based on its live feed of the spill. "Details of the new containment cap will be confirmed in the morning. The new containment cap has been placed & will be pressure tested."
"BP, of course, has to test the new cap over the well to make sure leak has officially stopped," CNN's Nick Valencia wrote. "The video looks hopeful."
While the oil spill was slowed by the new cap, and even seemed to stop for some time, oil could be seen leaking again in the oil spill live feed after 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
