We haven't even tried. Obama administration has done nothing at all. Why should BP care about capping it? It's not their Gulf and they just want the oil. Obama is only focused on illegal aliens because he is counting on them to re-elect him. He knows there are no Red States that will support him. Only those who support Obama get aid of any kind. He is sitting on billions in stimulus money but that's only to be used to buy votes for himself and his cronies.

Because BP literally got in over its head. The broken pipe is 5000feet deep. There pressure there is over 2000psi. No human can go to that depth and work. It must all be done robotically. The pressure of the oil coming out of that tube is probably in excess of 10,000psi They got themselves into a situation that grossly exceeds the capabilities of available technology.

Come on! Quoting: FLUFFY PUPPYI understand the pressure coming out of the pipe/s is extreme. But, when things get extreme we (known for a world full of engineering marvels) have always found a way to fight those extremes with anti-extremes! We can engineer anything we put our minds to in any time period of our choosing if we have the will to do it. It just seems to me there is a breakdown in that willpower somewhere along the way.

OLD DSRV's to 5000 ft... Operation The Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) is designed to rescue 24 persons at a time at depths of up to 2000 ft. Their maximum operating depth is 5000 ft. Power is provided by 2 large batteries, one fore, and one aft that power the electrical, hydraulic and life support systems. The DSRV uses mercury in a completely sealed system to allow themselves to match any angle (up to 45°) in both pitch and roll so as to "mate" (attach) to a downed submarine that may be at an angle on the sea floor. The DSRV is capable of being transported by Air Force C-5 to anywhere in the world within 24 hours. It is then loaded onto a "Mother Submarine" (MOSUB). The MOSUB then carries the DSRV to the rescue site where several trips are made to rescue all personnel. Rescue is usually accomplished by ferrying rescuees from the stranded sub to the MOSUB, however, they can also be taken to a properly equipped surface support ship. In addition to a number of U.S. Navy submarines being outfitted for MOSUB capabilities, several NATO countries also have submarines outfitted to carry the U.S. Navy DSRV for rescue capability as needed. Both the UK and French Navies have such submarines. The interior of the DSRV is composed of 3 spheres. The forward sphere is the "Control Sphere" where the DSRV's pilot and copilot operate the vehicle. The two aft spheres (known as Mid Sphere and Aft Sphere) are used to seat the rescuees or to install equipment for additional operations. Maneuvering is accomplished using 4 thrusters and one main propeller.

[link to en.wikipedia.org] DSV Sea Cliff From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to:navigation, search DSV-4 (ex-Sea Cliff) is a 25-ton, manned deep-ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy. It is sister to DSV-3 Turtle, Alvin (DSV-2), and also an Alvin class Deep Submergence Vehicle. The Sea Cliff was retired from active service in 1998. Per the Naval Vessel Register [1], DSV-4 was returned to active service on September 30, 2002. It is known only by its hull number, not by name. The DSV-4 originally had a maximum dive depth of 6500 feet (2000 m), like all Alvin-class DSVs at first. It was redesigned to dive to 20,000 feet, and refitted in 1984. With the refit of DSV-4, DSV-1 (ex-Trieste II) was retired from service. It has a hatch 24 inches in diameter, and held in place mechanically with hatch dogs and while submerged by the pressure of the water above it (it is tapered, narrower inward). The Alvin-class DSVs were designed to replace older DSVs, such as the less maneuverable Trieste-class bathyscaphes. The DSV-4 can dive 5,000 feet further than the famed Alvin, however the super Alvin class replacement for DSV-2 is designed to dive to 22,000 feet.
