They've tried the Dome, Top Hat sits at bottom of Gulf, Pipe w/Stopper, and if all fails a JUNK SHOT

Did I miss anything??

It sounds like an episode of Thomas the Train.

Couldn't have they atleast tried to make it sound technical.

Our government has allowed a bunch of hair brained morons to do this... it aint sayin much for our government, is it?

1. Well, the pro-BP folk have already dutifully unrecc'd this...

Either that, or they just like "Thomas the Train" (which I did too, "back in the day" when teen son was in that demographic... sigh...)

2. I don't understand

why their efforts are to bring the oil to the top of the sea instead of sealing the pipe? Or is this part of that process?

4. every solution they have tried has included siphoning. you be the judge..... nt

;-)

8. they got a GUSHER and YOU want them to seal it off?

Come on. Get real! They want that OILK and they want in on a ship so they can sell it for a nice profit!

10. They want the oil that is down there and any attempt they make to stop the guyser

will be conditioned by their future ability to drill it.

3. The SNL opening skit really begged this...

Unfortunately, I'm too sensitized to the situation to find it even perversely funny

6. "Hair Brained"? There's an idea ...let's use hair!! ;)

I think I understand their approach, however. There is a refrigerator in the break room with a bunch of those magnetic words, and whenever someone goes in they rearrange them. Poof, new solution.
