    BP Oil Spill, Are You Kidding Me? Put a Plug in It Already!

     
    BP's oil spill in the Gulf is out of control, and after viewing the new digital CNN video of the recently cut well cap, it's obvious to a plumber, and most blue collar tradesmen, their engineers are also miserably incapable of even slowing the oil spilling from the well, let alone stop the flow.
    I saw the video and all I can say is this:
    I can't believe  BP is letting the oil spill out of the well head when such a simple device could be fabricated to size, inserted in the well head, inflated, and at the very least , would reduce the amount of flow, if not stop it all together.
    And they could do this in a couple of days.
    So BP, do you really want to stop the oil spill BP?
    Here, I'll lay it out for you how simple this is.
    1- Fabricate 5 test balls sized to the well head pipe
    2- Insert 1st test ball as low in the pipe as you can get it
    3- Apply air pressure to inflate against well head walls
    4- Install 2nd Test Ball
    5- Apply air pressure to inflate against well head walls
    6- Insert 3rd test ball as low in the pipe as you can get it
    7- Apply air pressure to inflate against well head walls
    Now, oil pressure will be greatly reduced, if not completely stopped.
    To ensure the oil spill won't reoccur, follow the last 2 steps below:
    8- Insert new 6" hose to pump concrete from surface ship.
    9 -Pour 5,000 psi concrete mix to cap above test balls.
    Done.
    Oil Spill stopped.
    Oh, I almost forgot BP....
    You'll have two balls left.....
    Keep them, you'll need 'em in court.
    Spread the word, this can be done, guaranteed.
    BP, Stop The Oil Spill in the Gulf Now!
