As everyone knows, the deep horizon oil spill is going on here in America. I had an idea that I wanted to give to them regarding how to fix the problem.
Take a super barge crane (located in Texas) locate a million pound piece of granite, marble or concrete and float it out there and drop that massive piece of material on the hole using the barge crane. Seems simple enough to me.
Does anyone else have any ideas that might help. You can go to bp.com and they actually have a suggestion page for just that. Ideas that can help with the problem.
Just wanted to put that out there for anyone who may have something in there heads to help.
I'm fairly certain if it were that simple they would have done it already. You have to account for pressure and the possibility it could cause more damage and really bust the pipe even further open.
All I can say is, it's pretty bad when they have to start asking the public for ideas.
You don't think a one hundred ton piece of granite over a 36 inch hole would not work?
Why not?
It didn't work when Wiley Coyote tried it on the Roadrunner; it won't work here.
The bottom of the ocean is not a flat surface. The oil (that's under considerable pressure) would just seep around the granite. Even if this worked, it would only be a temporary measure that would have to be monitored. If the granite were to shift (or the bottom underneath it), you would have to move the granite before the repairs could be made.
Now. Right now there are thousands of gallongs of balck stuff being pumped into the ocean. That is a fact. And it's fecking stupid.
Sarah fecking palin. Dedums. I might shag it, but I certainly wouldn't listen it Sock boy.
BP are international, genius. They are also in your country. |Following your regualtions.
From my picturesque spot I see this - Oil companies blaming each other. Haliburton is one of them. That rings a big ring wing bell = Dick. Cheney. The fella who shot his mate in the face. And then got his mate to apologise for catching his bullet. In his face! I do watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. On a daily basis when I can.
I'd be sticking up for what is right me, right winger type fella.
Here's what I heard down the pub. I was pissed but Nevermind, as Kurt once said, before he blew his own face off with a big gun...
Da Big Fella "Shure if I bust a big typa feck off typa pipe and the stuff was pissing out everyhwere do you na no what I'd do, like?"
Me "Er no Seamus, I don't. Ya big fat bollix ya. Please, do pray tell. Soon. And don't fuck off ta da bog again before you do. Ya great big fat bastard of a geniius, ya. We don't be hanging for ya pearls of wisdom. Your only a fecking eejit anyways."
DBF "Fuck aoff ya, you bony wee cunt ya. Now. Or soon. I'd get another fucking pipe, of a similar gauge like. And I'd pipe the shite thru that. O'course I'd make sure dat fuckin pipe was going da right fucking place. First, like. Knowwarramean, like? You wouldn't catch me stuffing bitsa fucking golf balls and tyres and God knows what other shite down there. You wouldn't block a fucking mouse with dat."
he then went to toilet and returned looking very grey. Something about "pipes" and "shite" was heard as he stumbled outside the door.
At that point some young blondie type presented herself and asked, and I quote "You seem like fun, are you going outside to smoke soon."
I considered this. Then said...
"I am. But I'd be taken. But I chat to anyone."
She smiled. She was young. I kept my distance. As I am old. Much older than her anyway. Shure I could be her da.
