Phoenix Sun: BP Update: Video grab shows riser pipe cut

http://thephoenixsun.com/archives/9943

After some setbacks, BP has successfully severed a riser pipe, preparing the way to lower a containment dome over the well in the Gulf of Mexico, that should, according to BP’s plan, capture a large quantity of the oil that has been gushing out of control since April 20th.  Operators are now (11:15 CDT) using a circular saw to smooth the edges of the pipe to ensure a tighter fit for the dome.
