 RC>> Too bad no one from BP will read his suggestion.

 ml> you might be surprised about that... they get thousands of suggestions
 ml> and many of them are the same as what their own people have come up
 ml> with...

 RC> I am sure the trained engineers have brain stormed alot of ideas,
 RC> from silly to sane.

i'm sure they have, too... but the point is that they do accept suggestions
from John Q. Public...

 RC> Wonder if any thought of a nuke?

dunno... they haven't mentioned it on their site... it could work, ya know...

 ml> /me wonders if folk might be better off reading the content and
 ml> viewing the videos available on the BP site rather than sitting here
 ml> playing armchair quarterback without a clue :? :rolleyes:

 RC> With the enthusiasm Wayne shows in his suggestions, one might ask
 RC> him, if he has emailed the right people.

why hasn't someone, then? seems to me that too many revel too much in
taking potshots and shooting others down all the time... in fact, that's
all i see in all of the so called "political" areas in fidonet
:rolleyes:

 RC> I still think his cryogenic idea was insane tho.. LOL

i don't know why... it is only about 30F down there at the well head...
they could freeze the mud they're pumping down there but i don't know
how...

what i thought was rather "facinating" was their "junk
shot" idea... in this they pump all manner of stuff of varying sizes
down into the BOP to get it to stop up... things like pieces of tires, golf
balls, marbles, and such... the idea being to get large things in to the
large holes and then plug the smaller holes with the smaller items and so
on until it is all plugged up...

in any case, they have to stop the flow at the wellhead and then they will
be filling the borehole with cement to completely plug it... once that's
done, they will be abandoning that well for good... of course, they're also
boring two relief wells into the same shaft... depending on how that goes,
they may be able to use those relief well to continue to harvest the oil
product that is in that resevoir...

at least this oil isn't that thick sludge crap like what exxon released in alaska...
