PORT FOURCHON, La. - As the crude crept closer to Florida, the effort to contain the nation's worst oil spill hit a snag Wednesday when a diamond-edged saw became stuck in a thick pipe on a blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf.

It took hours, but robots freed the saw late in the day and the operation to cut through the pipe resumed, a source familiar with the operation told Reuters.
