deep dark tunnel

I feel like I am going down a deep dark tunnel in a terrible fright mare. Today is DAY 80 of the oil spill and it keeps getting worse. OK now commissioners hear of gulf oil spill woe that is on going. I wonder if there is a light at the end of this tunnel or more woe. BP claims they can stop it with a new cap. This one is suppose to be better with a tight seal to prevent oil from escaping.
