Do Your Own Jules Verne Thoughts O.K. Bob~ You’re the imagineer, check out the last paragraph! By the way, there still is no biological usage in play. From all I see it has become just one vast “make-work” project. Pictures of all that labor at work (Looks like they are thinking about putting billions of gallons of oil sludge into white plastic garbage bags!) FAIL TO DISCLOSE A SINGLE MASK IN USE! Is that somebody’s death wish with all those same fumes effects, that because of which they demand millions be sent into FEMA concentration camps for? Surely all those “workers” will now suffer the same ill effects as did the clean-up crews at Chernobyl! I feel Americans had better learn FAST how to do all that concentrating they have been taught NOT TO DO. I as well feel anyone approving of those camps should themselves immediately be put on the “Kamp Kool-Aid” diet! Look at it from a standpoint of the most practical. There are two known and rather fast ways to grab off the unwanted oil. The first is with hungry bacteria which will live and thrive on the oil till there is no more, then perish from hunger. The first is not very popular with your "illustrious leaders" (And that actually was once a gag-line referring to "communist " nations!) because thee is no profit in it to them. The second is to suck up the oil/water (Remembering oil floats atop water) and put it in super tankers to be taken to Texas for extraction of the oil. These, however, relieve chaos so neither is attractive to our "masters"! Then on the matter of the hole. The pressure is not too great to be contained. "O"ring technology has gone far beyond what is the problem with the hole, The pipe should be fairly straight as although bends can be created (As in the infamous Kuwaiti side drilling into Iraqi oil fields -- yes WE supported that theft!) but there was no need for but a straight line here and the straighter the better for the drillers. That means a very long length of slightly smaller diameter pipe could be easily inserted in the already drilled pipe, most likely with Orings attached. It would take at the outside but a few days for salvage crews to draw the wreck far aside and then disassemble and raise it to clear the way for a new drilling rig platform to install the pipe liner. ALL this should have already been done! Even a short liner to work as a nozzle would vastly stem the flow. This would be a simple solution and you can bet the farm MANY good workable plans have occurred but they would NOT have involved chaos. America gets what it deserves AGAIN! ~Hal~ No proof made due to time constraints! Lets consider the technology here of sidewise drilling, That technology has grown to precision, and that means the possibility might be considered to drill into the side of the pipe from a platform perhaps in shallower water and puncture the existing pipe with several smaller ones each telescoping to larger ones; say from a four inch pipe through incremental increases of twice the size until arriving at a pipe of six feet which could be then manifold into a dozen tubes dropping back down in diameter to feed awaiting tankers, to then feed barges. This would allow for a sizeable drop in the pressure in the tap pipes as well as reducing the present pressure in the three foot pipe. (Pressure drops with a volume increase) At the same time a large funnel shaped catcher could be put over the three foot pipe, say with a six foot diameter to be fed straight up into a manifold tank to allow feeding tankers which, being a huge tank itself, could then feed others to travel loops back and forth to the shore. How’s Jules Vern doing here?
