How can we send the man to the moon and cant seem to figure out how to plug a hole????
they should call tiger woods, he has never found a hole he couldn't fill.

And why can't we make a beer that makes you lose weight?
Just have Jack Sheppard do it.

So there is at least a piece of the original tube down there right? And wasn't there supposed to be a fail safe mechanism that basically stopped flow if there was a problem? So why can't they joint lower a large clamping device and pinch the tube shut?
I can not believe that there is not some solution out there that is better than what we have seen so far. How about sinking an old air craft carrier on it? It is very sad that we can get a camera down there to see the leak and yet have no clue on how to stop it.
Someone sent this around at work. Funny that these guys have a solution and the top minds can't figure something out.

just nuke it! Seriosly, put a low yield nuke in one of BPs submersibles and drive it right to the hole and detonate it. I Can't image it would do any more environmental harm than what's happening now and it would almost certainly fix the problem. If it didn't you still have the same option of drilling a secondary well.
