BP releases terrifying photo of oil leak

You can see why BP hasn't got this image of the Deepwater Horizon disaster at the top of its homepage.

From the Houston Chronicle:

BP spokesman Mark Proegler said today that the 5-foot tall containment dome, or top hat, meant to contain the flow of this leak is now sitting on the sea floor as crews continue working on connecting it with a pipe to a surface tanker above.

"It should be in operation by the end of the week," Proegler said.
