What happens when these five or six other wells cannot be capped either? I don't know the solution, but alot of wise people here who don't co-opt the name Einstein - They are pondering the solutions, but in the mean time, those people need to be relocated at the oil man and politicians who allowed this mess expense. Their safety is the first issue. The second step is what every one here beside dr e is trying to do, consider all the variables(and there are many)and proceed cautiously...Thinking before you act is a wise course of action.
