The Leak Goes on... the leak goes on...

 

So the "Beat goes on" and the Leak goes on....the "buck passing" continues, and the numbers change...yet again...as to how much oil is actually floating around in the ocean...the pictures of red oil plumes streaking on top, and now we understand it is confirmed that these plumes exist below the water surface...(told ya!)...and the "Who Bot" failed!!! Surprise surprise!  Interestingly enough there are very few pictures of wildlife being rescued from the oily grip...not sure if it's because thery are presently  lacking in oil injured wildlife, or if there is a reluctance of the media to capture and show this video.  They have apparently managed to insert a smaller tube inside the larger one, and they are hoping that they are collecting at least a percentage of the escaping oil.  My question....If they can get a tube inside the larger shaft, why not perform an angioplasty of sorts and insert an extremely highly pressurized balloon into the smaller tube, and rapidly inflate it to completely close off the entire larger pipe?  Obviously, like my angioplasty, it's not a permanent solution but I think it sounds more feasable than golf balls and dirt! It would also be easy to inflate....just line up all the Head Honcho's from BP; Transocean; and Deep water Horizon, and get them to blow...hard!!! We know they can do it...and they're so full of hot air that no ice particles would form as in the Who Bot! But maybe we should wait until after they've tried the golf balls and dirt...then send them in...after all it was probably too many golf balls and dirt that distracted them from pursuing a safe and secure venture in the first place...that and of course MONEY! What par are they on now?
