Officials from the Obama administration and oil giant BP say it might take up to three months to seal off a leaking oil well 5,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico that has created a massive environmental crisis that could affect much of the Gulf Coast.

BP chief executive Tony Hayward said Monday that "the worst-case scenario is that we would need to contain this for two to three months whilst a relief well is drilled."
