Just send Flopnut's Rep Power down. It will plug the leak in no time.

Yes, I wonder how much pressure is behind the oil spewing ? The way this idea works , it will seal it off fairly slowly so that should help. I presented them the concept , the Engineers will have to tweak it.

I'm waiting for a response from BP, then I'll unvail my idea , which may be stupid. Who knows exactly what you're dealing with at those depths.
They promised a response but said lots of ideas are coming in and they have to sort through them. But they have a team addressing responses. |

The extra pressure related to flow is negligible. Estimates of the leak are 2.5 million gallons per day. Through a 22 inch pipe, that isn't all that much. The velocity of the oil in the pipe is only about 2.5 ft/sec, so we're not talking about a lot of additional energy, relatively speaking.

I would hate to see this mess reach the white sandy shores of Destin, Fl, that place is beautiful. There are several theories out there about how bad this really is, but on one is giving the same answer. Does anyone know how truly bad this is going to be for us? It seems this is going to be the worse oil accident in history. Forgive me if the answer is obvious, I have been working on finals, not watching television.
