I read somewhere that the Russians have used special nukes.

how about pumping concrete into the 98 ton box?

[jpsb]

have a robot squeeze the pipe shut below the bop value.

[jpsb]

build a 40 foot diameter hollow concrete pipe up to the surfaceHmmm, that might be too expensive, but pehaps we could have one on stand by to assemble if ever needed.

[jpsb]

build a really big vacum cleaner and put the suction hose at the source of the leak.

[jpsb]

find a chemical that gets really hot when exposed to water then pump it down to the bop value and melt everything to a solid mass. You need to do this really fast. Nuke would be better, but evacuate the coast first.
