VENICE, La., July 9 (UPI) -- The captain of a Russian sub says his submersible could cap the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
Yevgenii Chernyaev told BBC News in an interview published Friday there still was time for the Russian sub and its twin to help in the gulf, where oil has been leaking since April 20, when the Transocean Deepwater Horizon rig leased by BP exploded, then sank two days later. Eleven rig workers died in the explosion.
