[quote:Anonymous Coward 851382:MV8xMDc0OTY2XzE3MDk2NDk4XzMwMjA3NUQ0] [quote:rken] It was just reported on Fox News (Fox and Friends) a few minutes ago that the navy had taken things into their own hands and tried to stop the leak with a large (and non-nuclear) explosion. But things have gone bad and the hole is a lot bigger now and the oil flow has gotten much worse. Stopping a leak with a large explosion. I'm sorry, but how the fuck does that make any logical sense? it's like stopping a bullet wound with a shotgun blast to the person! LOL Well that could work once the heart stops pumping. lol [/quote] drill a hole parallel to the well, down a few hundred feet. 1 explosion to loosen the earth, a second direction explosion to collapse the well. tonnes of debris now blocking the well. Nobody is saying to use explosives above the ground. [/quote]

The sand and rocks that turned the gusher into a giant sandblaster that blew out holes in the riser pipe at the kinks was coming from the walls of the well that the cement between the casing and the wall was supposed to protect. Therefore, the hole has been getting bigger and bigger and now it’s like a volcano vent with the piping inside it probably a twisted mess.
