BP the giant British oil company has failed again at fixing the leak that as been spilling into the Gulf of Mexico since the explosion that happened on April 20, 2010. The explosion of the rig killed 11 people. The leak has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ocean and is killing animals and fish all over the region. BP has tried to cap the leak but their efforts have failed. In the new attempt they tried to take mud and concrete and plug the hole up but that also failed. Their newest idea is to send a cap down and cap the hole and have a flexible hose siphon the oil up to the surface. The oil then will be put on a holding ship at the surface. This is considered a minor fix as the permanent on is being constructed now and is said to be done around August.
