Coast guard says saw is stuck in new effort to fix oil spill. BREAKING NEWS updated 2 minutes ago PORT FOURCHON, Louisiana - BP's latest effort to stem the oil gusher in the Gulf stalled on Wednesday when a saw become stuck as it was cutting through a pipe on a busted well, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said. Allen said the goal was now to free the saw and finish the cut later in the day. This is the second major cut in the effort to contain -- not plug -- the nation's worst spill. Allen said the first cut with giant shears was successful overnight. Even if it works, the current mission to cut a major pipe and cap it would only reduce the flow, not stop it. If it fails, it could make the largest oil spill in U.S. history even worse. The best hope for sealing the leak, until a permanent fix is possible in August, failed Saturday, when engineers were unable to plug it with heavy mud in a maneuver called a top kill.
