Tony Hayward In The Well Was Still Rising

1 workers and setting off the spill. A temporary plug has stopped oil from gushing for more than a week now, but before that the busted well had spewed anywhere from 94 million to 184 million gallons into the Gulf.

On Sunday, helicopters scanned the shoreline for fresh oil while a mile undersea the work to plug BP's well gained speed. Pressure in the well was still rising and there was no talk of collecting oil anymore, just stopping it for good  reports.


Married, with two children, Mr Hayward considered going into academia, but instead went to BP in 1982 and was posted first to Aberdeen, home of the UK's North Sea oil boom.
