If you’re still a bit uncertain about exactly what happened with Deepwater Horizon or the various options for cleanup, Al-Jazeera has a nice simple animation showing the details.  In it they cover the three leaks, the robot subs, the dome, and the relief well strategy.

Simple, clear, and well-done.
