"BP engineers successfully removed the failed blowout preventer from the once-gushing Macondo well this afternoon, according to a report on the company's website. The blowout preventer will be brought to shore and replaced with a stronger blowout preventer, capable of handling an increase in pressure when the well is sealed with mud and cement via a relief well later this month." Jaquetta White reports for the New Orleans Times-Picayune September 3, 2010.
