Key oil spill evidence raised to Gulf's surface


ON THE GULF OF MEXICO - Investigators looking into what went wrong in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill are a step closer to answers now that a key piece of evidence is secure aboard a ship.

The five-story high device breached the water's surface at 6:54 p.m. CDT, and looked largely intact with black stains on the yellow metal.

The blowout preventer was placed into a metal contraption specifically designed to hold the massive device at 9:16 p.m. CDT Saturday.

Patrick Peterson had 257 yards - including an 87-yard touchdown - on kickoff and punt returns, leading LSU (1-0) to a 30-10 lead at the break.
