Gulf Oil Spill - new record

[WattBuilder]

Here’s something I came up with that might work?
The device uses super magnets and the leak’s own fluid pressure to seal and cap the pipe, then to fallow with cement pour into the pipe.

Watch the live feeds as they try to cap the leak with the larger cap.

It's like watching something out of Starwars - with fancy Droids.

Okay, BP got the new cap attached.  They still have to test it under pressure and see if it works right.  Oil is still gushing from the top, so they're still "on the hook" to everyone for this fiasco.

Let's see what happens in a day or two.

Could last a day or two per tests. Maybe longer.

At least it is stopped for now.
