Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon BP Oil Spill - Live Feed
As the Gulf of Mexico oil spill continues, optimism is growing that the latest capping attempt may prove successful, finally bringing an end to the flow of oil into the ocean.
Preparations are now well underway for a pressure test of the damaged oil well BP has said.
The test began late on Wednesday and is expected to last up to 48 hours. BP has said that valves were being positioned ready to gradually close the cap so that pressure could build up so the well's strength can be tested.
This live feed has a view directly over the leaking well, and will be one of the first to show whether the latest attempts are successful.
