BP claims that within 24 hours the oil leak can be contained. Using undersea robots to cut off the pipe, they will then seal it with a cap which will stop the leak. This solution comes as a response to President Obama's legal threat towards those responsible for the oil leak and a giant fall in BP company shares due to the failure to fix the leak. However, BP officials remind the public that success is not guaranteed. If this plan does not succeed it could increase the flow of oil into the Gulf as much as twenty percent. President Obama today declared the leak as "the greatest environmental disaster of its kind in our history".
