The Top kill procedure has never been tried before and experts warn that they cannot safely declare that it has been 100 % effective until 2 to 3 days after it is implemented. Since they implemented the procedure only yesterday I think it's early to declare that the problem is solved, however it is a good sign that oil has stopped leaking for now. We just have to see if it holds up for another day or so.
