Giant box above oil leak site; Robots position container over spewing well - Polidicks

[url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37008288/ns/us_news-environment/[/url] [quote]ON THE GULF OF MEXICO - Underwater robots positioned a giant 100-ton concrete-and-steel box over a blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico on Friday as workers prepared to drop the device to the seafloor in a first-of-its-kind attempt to stop oil gushing into the sea. A spokesman for oil giant BP LPC, which is in charge of the cleanup, said the box was suspended over the main leak just after noon EDT Friday and was being moved into position...... ....If the device works, it could be collecting as much as 85 percent of the oil spewing into the Gulf and funneling it up to a tanker by Sunday. It's never been tried so far below the surface, where the water pressure is enough to crush a submarine. [/quote] Sounds like they can't contain themselves with all the excitement.

Now that's what I call thinking outside of the box.

There'll be trouble if they keep boxing everything up like this.

Oh god the puns :v:

Clocks for their quick thinking and timely response. [QUOTE=B-hazard;21799337]Boxes because they are containing the oil with a giant box. Simples.[/QUOTE] Don't be ridiculous.

gaybow cuz its gay lol

Wrench because they probably used a wrench or two to build the thing at some point

Smiley face because it will make the fishies happy

Heart because it was polite/nice/friendly of them to make the container

Shouldn't they use a barrel?

Red X because X marks the spot where the oil's spilling out?

Book because they are doing everything by the book?

bad speling

Check mark because they have to check this off of their to-do list.

[QUOTE=TurbisV2;21803187]Book because they are doing everything by the book?[/QUOTE] Wrong, the article says this is the first attempt of its kind. Book because they're WRITING the book by doing this. :v:

Thinking about it now.. If it is so deep that the water pressure crushes submarines, wont the box become crushed?

uh no there is water (or oil) inside of the box

[QUOTE=VaultBoi;21803926]uh no there is water (or oil) inside of the box[/QUOTE] I imagine it would be pumped out.

oil is still gushing out of that leak so...

[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;21801745]Heart because it was polite/nice/friendly of them to make the container[/QUOTE] that's like spilling milk and cleaning it up [i]because you're a nice guy[/i] they kinda have to find a way to clean that oil spill, cause they were the ones who caused it.

I have the perfect solution They should build a new oil rig over the pipeline [editline]03:26AM[/editline] [img]http://www.ultimatecoupons.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/bobthebuilder.jpg[/img]
