BP to deploy 100-ton containment box to Gulf spill site
A 12 man crew prepares the 100 ton concrete and steel containment box for deployment on the seabed about 50 miles off the Louisiana coast to funnel oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill. The Joe Griffin vessel will transport the box 100 miles from the Mississippi Delta and wait for cranes to lower it 5 000 feet to the sea floor.
