"BP Plc (BP.L) said on Saturday the complex "top kill" maneuver to plug its Gulf of Mexico oil well has failed, crushing hopes for a quick end to the largest oil spill in U.S. history already in its 40th day.
"We have not been able to stop the flow," said Doug Suttles, the London-based oil giant's chief operating officer.
"We have made the decision to move on to the next option," he added.
That next option is called the lower marine riser package cap, one that captures oil from the well rather than plug it. Suttles said it could take four days or longer to show results.
U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Mary Landry, flanking Suttles at a daily briefing, said the news of the top kill failure was disappointing and that the best option for ending the spill was drilling a relief well which BP estimates will take two months."

The media and all the talking heads either can't see it or they're being told not to say it but this blowout will effect everyone on the planet. As the Gulf dies and the oil nears the Gulf Stream all we hear about is Lady GaGa.
The great chastisement has begun. Isn't it ironic that God has chosen to turn the very thing, oil, that allowed us to live a life so far removed from any other human experience of life that one could almost make the argument that our lives really haven't been human after all. Oil afforded us the arrogance to turn against our Creator and allowed us to take His place in the temple, to sit on His seat as the final arbiters of right and wrong.
We're about to be taught a lesson about the exact nature of humanity and how powerful the true God is.
Pray!
