NEW: BP officials considering "junk shot" to try to clog blowout container with debris
Crystals accumulated inside containment dome, rendering it ineffective
Dome moved to side of wellhead while crews work to overcome the challenge, BP CEO says
Placing dome over well 5,000 feet underwater had never been tried at such a depth
Venice, Louisiana (CNN) -- If using a massive dome to cover the source of the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico doesn't work, crews are preparing for another option: clogging it.
Engineers are examining whether they can close a failed blowout preventer by stuffing it with trash, said Adm. Thad Allen, the commandant of the Coast Guard. The 48-foot-tall, 450-ton device sits atop the well at the heart of the Gulf oil spill and is designed to stop leaks, but it has not been working properly since the oil rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20 and later sank.
"The next tactic is going to be something they call a junk shot," Allen told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "They'll take a bunch of debris -- shredded up tires, golf balls and things like that -- and under very high pressure, shoot it into the preventer itself and see if they can clog it up and stop the leak."[/quote]
IT'LL WORK GUYS, JUST TRUST THEM.
Looks like someone at BP forgot to take their sanity pills.
Golf balls? What the.
How did they [B]NOT[/B] think of this sooner?
the fuck
You've got to be shitting me. Is there anyone in power than isn't a fuck-head? "LET'S FUCK THE OCEAN HARDER, THROW TRASH AT IT!"
Oh god Idiocracy is coming true
genius. pure genius.
Derp.
Well, we know who to blame five years later if 30 children in China are killed by falling bits of golf balls and shredded tires

qft
Why are we leaving this to the people who's fault this shit is in the first place?
Tonight's episode of [b]Throw Garbage into the Ocean[/b] brought to you by [b][highlight]BRAWNDO![/b][/highlight]
It's got electrolytes!
This is why nuclear devices are much better.

Seriously, for every natural disaster in the future lets just let Russia handle it.
just use a shamwow

But that would suck up the whole ocean.
Is britain doing anything to help clean up?
So what's going to happen when the pressure builds up and millions of golf balls shoot out of the ocean at 200km/hr

Nothing, because pressure won't build up. There's nothing increasing the over-all energy of the system. The only reason oil is exiting the hole is because it's less dense than water.

Actually, there is quite a bit of pressure on the oil, hence why they're building a second well to relieve pressure.
Lets get rid of pollution by polluting it.
Gee, never thought of that.
Can't they just place a nuclear bomb there and detonate it for the jollies?
Best idea so far compared to dome or garbage.
I hate my country.
Both sides are idiots
US: It seems your oil rig has exploded, BP.
BP: Don't worry, I got it.
US: Are you sure?
BP: Yeah
--
US: BP, it doesn't seem to be getting any better
BP: Don't worry bro I got it handled.
US: It really doesn't look like it.
BP: I'm just gonna, you know, fix it.
US: You're the one who caused this mess in the first place.
BP: Bro just lemme handle this.
US: Fine,
--
BP: I tried putting a big ass dome over one of the leaks but it didn't work
US: You don't seem to be able to handl-
BP: Hold up a sec bro, I got something here.
US: ... Is that a huge hunk of trash you just found?
BP: No man! This'll solve our shit right good!
US: ...
Russia: blow it all up
The problem with blowing it up is that there'll still be pressure, just lots of pulverized rock for the oil to go through.
It'll be near impossible to plug fully if that happens.
I think we should fill the hole with Sea Turtles.

This is a corporation's fault, why are bitching about the country?
I love the whole world.
It's such a smart place.
