Is enough being done to protect the public from chemical pollutants? Watch "Toxic America," a special two-night investigative report with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, on June 2 and 3 at 8 p.m. ET on CNN.
A report. Thanks. That's gonna help a ton.
I just called and emailed BP. They've already inserted a hose into the pipe. How about a different hose with a balloon at the tip? Blow air into the deflated balloon and it should fill the pipe. If they can pull it off, insert a hose, with a balloon tip, which also has a hose in the center. That way, they can take care of the pressure and recover some of the oil.
The only real way to stop it is to drill another well...horizontally enter the well from several directions and plug the well from underneath.
BP should have 5 drilling rigs around that well right now racing to cement that leaking well.
They can directionally drill with pretty good accuracy.
