A permanent cement plug sealed BP's well nearly 2.5 miles below the sea floor in the Gulf of Mexico, five agonizing months after an explosion sank a drilling rig and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the federal government's point man on the disaster, said Sunday BP's well ``is effectively dead.'' Allen said a pressure test to ensure the cement plug would hold was completed at 5:54 a.m. CDT.
