Oil execs in Capitol Hill hot seat
(CNN) – BP is lowering a second, smaller containment dome known as a "top hat" into the Gulf of Mexico. A larger version failed last week. Every day the company fails, more and more oil damages the fishing industry, threatens wildlife, ruins beaches and kills tourism.
Executives from three oil companies will be back in Washington today. There is plenty of blame to go around, but will anyone stand up to accept it? Our Brianna Keilar has the report.

As a homeowner in New Orleans, I get physically ill when I watch this on the news. They are fumbling around with measures not guaranteed to work. Don't American lives and land deserve any respect? These BP executives are not from here are they? They should be required to live on the coast of Mississippi or Alabama and clean things up for the rest of their lives.
As the old saying goes,"it's ok as long as you don't drill in my backyard". I don't care what the majority of people think. We don't want drilling off the coast of Florida.
Let the "blame games" begin!!
