This isn't a half-bad idea.
:mmmsmug:
But... will it be the same for underWATER?
When I first heard the idea of a nuclear bomb to stop the oil spill I thought it was a stupid idea, but after seeing this I'm having second thoughts.

thats what i thought
but who knows, if this worked well enough
Description: Here's some vintage USSR film showing us how they extinguished a gas leak fire. The same technique could be used for the oil leak in the gulf. The Russians used nukes to put out fires like this a total of 5 times.
your point?
Given that the spill is under water, I'm sure it wont be as simple as in the video.

Ya with all that pressure down under.

That's original video in Russian with more footage. They also used cannons to break some pipe stuff in the fire.
They cant do that with the Bp oil spill due to the unstability of the ground where the leak is,It could even do worse damage.
Good luck getting a nuclear weapon a mile under the sea with that kind of pressure.
to be fair the russians use nukes to open peanut butter jars
American's use nukes for getting their McFatAss out of bed, eat some cereal, get in the car, drive, etc
Russians only use them for things like opening Vodka, putting out teeny weeny fires, and your house.

probably would end bad if it was crushed while being lowered huh.

They'd probably be able to get the bomb down there easily, I think the problem would be drilling to get the bomb into position. I think.
They are already drilling a relief well so why not just put a nuke down there. I mean the science is there it works. Also I just love the idea of nukes going off..... safely.
Even Better Solution: Napalm it - will be more effective and wont effect stuff underwater as much
I thought we already covered this topic? If you nuke the ocean, then we will be invaded by an army of mutant crabs :crying:
