Nuke the leak?

[Gonz]

What if the explosion seals the main hole but creates new cracks nearby, potentially allowing more oil to escape?

That's an oxymoron, isn't it?

yeah, I was wondering if the couldn't get those bolts out of that flange,
and try to 'clamp' another pipe, same size, then bolt it on.
Seems to me they should try to do this thing sectional too, instead of a one shot thing.

They finally decided to unbolt it.
They should have been at this point at least 60 days ago.

WooHoo!
They just set the first section in place and sealed that sucker!

well, I should clarify...
The whole thing isn't sealed, just that first section.

These people are doing it right now though.

well, to me it looks like the test is really successful atm.
