The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which began on April 20, 2010, took several months to contain. The well was successfully capped on July 15, 2010, after various attempts to stop the flow of oil, including the use of a containment dome and a "top kill" procedure. Ultimately, it took approximately 87 days to fully stop the blowout and seal the well.
How long is estimated until the oil spill reaches Europe?
It won't. Ok, nothing is 100% certain, but no oil has made it out of the gulf coast, so dire predictions that the oil spill would enter the loop current and in the 2-3 days make its way to the Atlantic Ocean, has yet to occur. Oil in water tends to degrade and disperse with time, resulting in less total oil and in lower concentrations in the water.
When is the oil spill expected to hit Daytona Beach Fla?
It appears unlikely the oil spill will affect the eastern coast of Florida. I am not saying that it is impossible, as there is no such thing as 100% certainty with oil spill forecasts. The oil has in the past 68 days not entered the loop current. This has kept the oil in the gulf. Oil in time degrades and disperses, to the point were the concentration is nearly undetectable.

How do you fix a PSP if you spill water on it?
