It's not really a natural disaster.

I'VE GOT IT!! BP MUST CREATE A FLUDD OF THEIR OWN, THEN WASH AWAY THE OIL WITH MORE WATER! THEN INSTEAD OF OIL SHINE SPRITES WILL FLOW OUT!

Damn Brits.
They ruin everything.

Also due to your incoherent ape like wittering

lol, well done, and yes, yes i am :D, thats why i does, could worse. X3

I've actually just brought up the link in the OP in a chat room. The saddening part is that they started talking about gas prices.

I don't understand how they can really care only about money (that is, BP and the governments), when there's a huge natural disaster happening. I really cannot grasp how people can be so blind. How can they not realize that there money won't save their life if the whole environment eventually goes to shit?

As has been said, We can put a man on the moon, but we can't get a tough enough submarine down there, along with some heavy machinery to patch that stuff up? When I look at shows like mega structures on National Geographic, I'm always astounded about the huge things mankind can build. But they can't stop this spill? That's ridiculous.

Another thing that bugs me is how many people actually don't seem to give a shit, because the world cup is on. I even bet that the guys who should be dealing with this are following up on the WC too.

Just my thoughts. It's sickening.

anyone else find watching the oil spill relaxing?

This shit is more important that a game of fucking soccer.

You can't spot weld something that is pressurized like that you little dumb shit. The second they put a piece of sheet metal the pressure from the oil will throw it off before they can even begin repairing the line; that's why they cut another hole in the line. Right now they need to reduce the pressure; if they cant do that they cant do anything to stop it. Think of the pipe like a can of compressed air dude. If a hole gets stabbed in it you cant do anything until the air decompresses.

Way to get aggressive on me for no reason.

I never said it was easy - but in comparison, I believe it must be an incredibly complex task to get a man-made spacecraft out there on the moon. It puzzles me that we can't fix something man-made then.

It's seeping through the Ocean floor. This is the beginning of the end.

You guys don't seem to understand; there is nothing that BP or the government or God can do about it until the pressure is released. Everyone is bitching and it's not helping anyone. They are doing all they can to stop the oil leak. Not only is lost oil lost money but there getting terrible publicity for it.

With all the resources we have, we can not overcome this pressure? =/
Are you saying the pressure is like, infinite?

You do realize how long it took us to get to the moon in the first place right? Wasn't two months.

Anyways, I agree, I'm very freaked out about what's going on. But dammit, what can we do?

Unless you have an idea that actually WORKS, there's nothing we can really do.

Like I've been saying since this whole thing started, all they need to do is plant charges around that pipe, blow it up, and let it cave in. That whole process would definitely cost less than any of the stuff they're trying now.

Come on cowboys, I thought you guys liked blowing up stuff.

That is why they used a diamond saw to cut more holes in the pipe.

Most of the energy from the explosives get transferred in to the water not the ocean floor. It would take a nuke to do that (which a lot of people have been discussing). Other countrys have used nukes to solve problems similar to this.

How could they get a camera to those depths without it being crushed?

I have an idea.

But it is difficult, because it involves American politicians dropping their star-spangled egos for a few weeks and using the proven, Russian method of solving these issues. Russia has used very small nuclear devices to seal underwater oil/gas leaks, and in all 5 instances the detonation sealed the drilled well without causing any more damage.

So yeah, let's just use a method that's been proven to work, instead of building gigantic steel boxes, using a plethora of other toxic chemicals and making futile attempts at collecting minuscule amounts of oil using floating foam tubing, polystyrene spheres and other crap that is obviously doing far LESS than it advertises.

Setting the oil slick on fire as it approaches the coastline? Nice, one miscalculation and you'll have BURNING, oil-covered shorelines. What a great idea. What did you say your CO2 foot print was, again?

Pumpinggolf balls, mud and steel wire into the well's surface valve? I'd rather pump some intelligence quotient points into my brain if I were one of the people desperately clinging to these ridiculous, laughable methods of solving what possibly is the Chernobyl of oil industry.

I acknowledge that there is a respectable international effort regarding the control and eradication of the oil spill, as well as protection of the environment from crude oil pollution, but sometimes you have to stick with what has been proven to work in the past. Looking for new, overly-complicated ideas isn't always the best solution.

There's too much water in the mix to just light it on fire and more oil gets added each second O.o . I agree with devildog everyone hates the idea of using a nuke but it is a proven method with a minimal impact. Everyone freaks out when the here nuke but who cares.

Does anyone else nominate a big ass vacuum cleaner to solve this problem?

why the fuck would you drill in the ocean

I can reach deeper than any of those submarines...

Much deeper.

BP is also brainstorming things to plug it with. Like old shredded tires... Really??

Yeah man lets just nuke everything else while we're at it.
