You guys came up with the idea, you go for it.

Let us know how it worked.

Right, that's all they've been doing is hand-wringing. Since you don't know
the dynamics they are dealing with, why do you presume that they are
hand-wringing instead of busily trying to stop the leak? If the leak was on
dry land it would have been stopped within an hour of it starting. Since it
is a mile down and they have to rely on remote unmanned underwater
vehicles, it's not quite so easy.

I don't pretend to know more than the BP engineers like some people here. I
defer to their expertise instead of coming up with wild guesses like you
and Wayne.
