  • Hi V. Why 'balloon' / plug? The pipe 'aperture', whether actual leak site or another chosen & created, then vacuumed by penetrating w/graduated male connector into the female/breach, eventually clamped / welded into position. Forcing a vacuum hose with rigid, slender, sheath into the breach should be easy. If the force of the escaping oil is the issue than it's only a matter of engineering proper length of 'sheath guide' + vacuum pressure to defy the resistance, right?

  • @anyusmoon1 haha you are so over my head right now...as I said I have NO technical knowledge (and will not pretend to)....I was just referring to his suggestion and the non-response, is all...

    What i find intriguing is that their support /suggestion line (Phone center) was set up almost a month in advance....coincidence???

  • wow.... i never thought of that.... this is pretty good

  • And you wonder why americans have the rep of being dumb. Can someone just think why on earth BP, Haliburton, or any of the experts working on this would actually ask the public? lol

    I can just imagine the dime a click the person running this is earning. lol and how much the dummies waiting and protesting no response are losing. Thanks for the laugh. loooooool

  • It was absolutely a publicity stunt, ever notice how many dislikes the BP Tube Channel gets, you know the one that The Tube spams us all with, showing how concerned they are, people bought it hook line and sinker, makes me sick, lets all throw in make a space ship and find a rock not so full of dumbasses for us all to live peacefully on

  • Information bank ...hmmm A data bank could be used to collect useful information and store that information for several years, then developed and changed/improved in a lab for several years, RE patented and then "sold" as a companies ideas. Great way to do free research! Sounds out a good way to cut out the little man? Interesting...

  • Robert wise is another corporate peon who supports corruption

    Another failure in life

    death on 2 legs

  • One must consider that the oil industry is not in favor of the USA developing its own energy. They make much more profit selling imported oil. The intent is to make the citizens of the US dependent on foreign sources. This catastrophe has surely delayed or stopped further off shore oil exploration in the USA.

  • Like everything else about government/corporate responses, this is nothing but a scam to make people think they care and are trying. I would doubt that they use these suggestions for anything other than to circulate the silliest ones for a laugh at their meetings.

  • Nice, Sacred Reich!

  • yes it was planned, it is a plan so no they will not fix it unless they "fix" it.
