BP Suffers Setback With Oil Containment Cap

from National Public Radio

BP removed the cap collecting oil from the blown-out well in the Gulf today, and as a result, the flow of oil into the ocean has increased substantially. Officials say an underwater robot may have accidentally shut one of the valves on the cap, creating a hazard on the Enterprise drill ship. It's not clear when BP will be able to replace the cap and resume collecting oil. Michele Norris talks with NPR's Richard Harris.
