I have a degree in Fluid Power and I have to agree with ya on that.

How deep is the break? Couldn't they just feed down the same size pipe with a slip collar and tighten the thing down? Once they got it sealed below they could shut off a valve above the water.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . Plug the damn hole! We are all impacted by this, no matter where you live. Things like this keep adding up, and chipping away at our biosphere. The Coast Guard said 210000 gal. a day. That's 3818 barrels a day, or 1,393,636 barrels a year. They say there is enough oil down there to keep it flowing for the rest of our lives. Who's life? Our kids lives? My life? If it is our kids lives and they never get that thing plugged, that will be 104,522,727 barrels of oil. Enough to have 418 Exxon Valdez disasters. Rating: 5
