8 Days and still no response from them. I still think my idea will work. In the mean time the ocean will shortly be destroyed.

I haven't really read in dept about the problem, but wouldn't some think tank specialist have thought up "bad case" scenarios BEFORE they started popping holes in our oceans floors?? In 3 sentences or less WTF really happened? Is it more than a pipe got broke wayyyyyy down under water?

The dumbasses tried putting a concrete cap over it. Dumb ! They tried pumping a bunch of chopped up golf balls and junk in to the pipe. Even dumber ! And now they have stuck a pipe inside it with corking around it. Nope ! They need to give the Hog Farmer plan a go and stop the ****ing oil! |

drill baby drill....in shallow waters where it is safer instead of this deep because of tree huggers.
Louisiana should still be using "jimbob's" idea to protect their marshes. |

Okay.... My thinking is.... there's a device called a "Drain King" that can be used to unstop a plugged drain line. The principle is , it's a heavy duty rubber bladder that you connect to a garden hose that when you turn it on it in flates to seal off the pipe and push pressure through the outlet to blow out a stopage. the same principle can be used here using a submersible pump connected to a steel pipe connectected to a heavy duty rubber bladder that will inflate inside the pipe to seal it off. Then once the flow is cut off they can cap it.
What do you think ?????? They haven't tried this so far but they are now cutting open the pipe to allow for a cap to be put on that will have a hard time sealing so I think they need to try my proposition instead. |

rubber= no go.
a cylinder of steel that can expand with hydraulic pressure. The walls would have to dig into the pipe. |
