I thought of the explosive solution.
I think it may just fragment the seabed leaving it porous to
further oil upwelling like quicksand it kept mobile in flowing water
above an aquifer.

I actually figured out a FOOLPROOF method to seal up the well.
They've been circling around the problem since day 10 and have
everything they need right on site NOW.

I can't believe none of those hundreds of technicians, engineers,
scientists
and experts haven't thought of it.

Literally dozens of them should have by now!

It literally CANNOT fail due to the physical laws surrounding the
situation!   

They've got those domes already down there two of them!
They've got the drilling mud already right there.

You put the larger dome over the wellhead and feed the drilling mud into
the dome.

The circumference of the domes size being larger than the wellhead
gives you the equivalent of mechanical advantage but via hydraulics 
in direct proportion to the differences in the area between
the area of the pipe to the dome.

It's EXACTLY how a hydraulic jack works.

In the larger area the heavy drilling mud will offer greater resistance
and not be able to be blown back and out of the pipe as it is currently
in the confines of the narrow pipe where it cannot match the force.

Put enough drilling mud into the confinement of the dome over the blown out
well head and it HAS to overcome the velocity of the oil and soon stop the
upwelling oil and then by mere gravity on into the well to seal it.

Again, it's the relationship of the greater area of the dome to the pipe 
in the well head that supplies the hydraulic advantage to overcome the
force of the upwelling oil.

Do you see how perfect this really is?
I feel stupid not having thought of it a month or more ago.
It's like Junior High School science class!

Hey, SOMEONE see if you can't get in touch with someone in authroity.
I'm currently bedridden, without a phone and and in fairly dire straights.

But I'm a patriot and barring my being absolutely off my rocker I
cannot see how this could fail to work!   

Hey if I'm wrong I'll take the hit without shame but how can this fail?

It's just so blasted self evident!
