In reply to chris. Based on your skillful posting, I am surprised you found your way to a computer. I would be more surprised you could find your way to a voting booth. Let's get the president to be a raging puppet like the majority of politicians trying to get elected. He should jump around like a 5 year old who lost his candy.. Maybe he could get a daily hour where he yells at BP, Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, etc. Oh wait….. run it 24/7 and see if it resolves all issues.

In reply to Ken. sorry ur wrong the hydostatic pressure of ocean alone is un godly and this well has enough bottom hole pressure to flow 15000 barrels a day the pressure has to be in in the tens of thousands psi. learn before u pop off

whoever says a nuclear explosion would stop this is nuts . u wolud really have bad situation at least now u have pipe with integerty. u would destroy the pipe and cement on the out side of the pipe and it would leak for eternity.

Lets go back to the original containment box that failed and modify the top to slide on a track system from side to side. Install pipe connection on the top and lower the system over the broken pipe with the top in the open position. Then using the robotic arm slide the top to the closed position and lock into place. Attach pipe at connection and let the oil flow to the surface , install a shut-off valve at the surface. Load oil into tankers. Attachments should be installed on containment so that additional weights can be added to prevent blow-off.

In reply to john stewart. John , you are right. It is amazing people are focused on sopping it instead of worried about how to pay. We should cease efforts of stopping the leak until we figure out who will pay. Good idea.

Seems to me that this has been going for about a month and a half and they are saying that at the slowest rate they show on the live feed they have dumped about 400,000 barrels of oil in the gulf since it started. Now this is one well that hadn't been put into production yet that is delivering oil into the gulf at the rate of about 250,000 barrels a month so I got a little curious and looked up the imports of foreign oil, about 350,000 barrels a month. Are we throttling back the delivery of oil on domestic wells so we can support other nations economies…sure looks that way to me, if ONE new well could produce half of our TOTAL foreign import of oil. More lies from a government that seems to be growing on lies.

I find it amazing that every one is so centered on giving suggestions on how to stop the leak and none on who is going to pay the people trying actually stop the leak and / or clean up the environment. Will gas prices at the pump sore up to astronomical numbers because US refineries are not getting enough oil from BP to supply our nations needs now?
Will citizens be taxed even more to help the US Government pay for the problems BP has caused to our invironement? Will BP be held accountable to pay resitution to those citizens that have lost years worth of income as a result of the spill. Because of the way the law was written for foriegn countries to pay restitution on any thing, it has a cap value (which in this case comes now where near what the loss of value will be to US citizens). Contact your congresman and other leaders of this country to demand BP foot the bill for all the cost of clean-up and resitution, after all it was their greed, and making sure the company CEO’s and others had their income assured for the year, that caused the problem in that they decided not to spend money to make sure their riggs were safe to operate and the evidently could have cared less about what happens to America’s well being.

take a 1000 ton slab of steel, iron, perhaps 40 ft x 40 ft. and set it on top of any gushing oil. That slab will crush and contain everything beneath it, and wouldn't need to be a precision fit

i sa y plug all those wells in the gulf and subsidize all the small independant oil producers on domestic soli like me. let us drill wells on our l;leases on shore ans government pay 65% of bill and hire more people to run the wells daily. it cures the problem offshore and we have a flood of jobs on american soil and no more oil disaters

Why Not get all the world Oil specialists to get to sort this mess out. start using pumps to suck it out of the water. drain off the water and skim the crude to another tank or tanks.

Attack the damn mess stop thinking about it.

why is it that every idiot out there thinks that they are smarter than the dozens of engineers with decades of education, training, and experience. I'd be more than willing to bet that the engineers in charge of this mess know a hell of a lot more than any of you who seem to think that you have come up with the perfect solution based on the fact that you googled it…

Nice counter. Could you add how many minutes of oil the U.S.A uses has been spilled? I have heard it is over 2hrs 15mins, does that sound right?

In reply to Abe. They can't one it's to deep the would not have enough oxyge and two it would kill the people trying to cap it. And I'm 13. That's just common sense! How old are you?

I think they don't want to lose that pipe. They are thinking how to stop it without lose it.
