Ideas for fixing the hole in the gulf floor.

[RC]

If they think can stick a tube in the leaky pipe and fill a tanker...

Why can't they insert a "balloon" into the pipe and inflate it? If the pipe is too leaky, cut the pipe off before any leaks, then insert the "balloon". If nothing else, it will buy time for a more permanent fix.

Anyone else have a better idea, let's hear 'em?

Using nuclear explosives runs the risk of blowing the top off the oil dome and really making a mess. To say nothing about the leak being only 30 miles off shore. Tidal wave anyone?
