I do think one thing though:

Wouldn't a nice explosive shot down the hole essentially "liquefy" the sea floor in that area momentarily, and then it would all immediately re-settle due to gravity and water pressure, and seal this shit right up?

Why can't the Navy aim something straight down the throat of this thing?

Too much pressure. They actually do use dynamite to kill wells, as long as they arent to deep. Deeper the well, the more pressure coming from it, and explosion inside of it would not seal a well that deep, and instead make it impossible to shut down at all.


Its a mess right now, but wait till the hurricanes get into that shit, and starts pushing it up the gulf stream, all over the the shores of the atlantic ocean.

Oh, and thats august assuming they actually hit the relief well on the first try, and dont end up off by even a little bit. This is a huge mess that is going to turn catastrophic. I cant imagine how much marine life has died because of this.
