[QUOTE=bravehat;22556383] Neutralise radiation? Impossible, and the radioisotopes in the water would be absorbed into the food chain. Bad idea.[/QUOTE] I don't mean neutralize as in making the radiation go away, I mean as in essentially making it a nonissue. If the plan works as it should, then the bomb would seal the leak, and the radiation wouldn't be able to go through the layers of rock. And everything is dead in the area. There is nothing alive within miles of that slick. There's no food chain for the radiation to be absorbed into, and even if the tides impacted the radiation(almost assured), the radiation would disperse into a quantity so small that it's comparable to the background radiation of the environment.
See people are assuming that everything is going to go according to plan. This is the exact situation where I would pay attention to Murphy's Law. There is nothing to say this won't horribly fuck up, it could create more fissures and more leaks because of how well the water will couple the force and pressure and at those depths the glass seal could easily crack.

It would be safe to assume that radiation is going to be around for a long time and have an enormous impact on the lives of many people. After a three month long research project, I've been able to conclude that radiation doesn't negatively effect the environment at all. A radiation did not seem to result in waste products and couldn't be found in forests, jungles, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc... In fact, radiation produced some positive effects on our sweet little nature. Issues surrounding radiation can never be over analysed. The constantly changing fashionable take on radiation demonstrates the depth of the subject. Given that its influence pervades our society, radiation is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters. The juxtapositioning of radiation with fundamental economic, social and political strategic conflict draws criticism from those politicaly minded individuals living in the past, who just don't like that sort of thing. Much of the writings of historians display the conquests of the most powerful nations over less powerful ones. Placing theory on the scales of justice and weighing it against practice can produce similar results to contrasting the vote of the man in the street with that of one more accustomed to radiation.
I'm against this just because of the problems it would cause if it goes wrong. Then again, I don't live by the oceans, they can do what they want with those oil spill thingies. I'm not against nukes, I'm just against the fact that this is about as possible to work as anything else we've tried.
And then the whole ocean was made of fire and the fish could swim in fire.
what wrong with putting a regular bomb in the pipe? well, actually the oil will just seep through the dirt and then we will have a sea floor literally crying out oil
How about you guys watch the videos and study up before making stupid comments? The idea is sound on paper, but they do establish that it is still an unknown. Just watch it ffs.
[QUOTE=meppers;22568620]what wrong with putting a regular bomb in the pipe? well, actually the oil will just seep through the dirt and then we will have a sea floor literally crying out oil[/QUOTE] If the Oil could seep through the rock in the ocean floor. We wouldn't have an ocean of water.
I'm pretty much pro-nukes for every situation.

Cons: New Orleans would be destroyed. Pros: New Orleans would be destroyed.
not gonna work [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ZWgSGzF4w[/media]
I want a video of it happening!
They've taken up the same idea i did :v: We all do think alike.
Just imagine how absolutely STUPID everyone will look if this fails. And don't say it's proven to work, it's not. This is extremely unstable and has an almost equal chance of making the spill worse, in addition to whatever bad stuff comes of the radiation. Ahhh I can see the "stupid americans" jokes for centuries now.
[QUOTE=sam2d2;22551830]Nuke an oil well? Just Cause[/QUOTE] Don't forget the water towers.
This will work.
I agree with the dinosaur, this WILL work. Further arguments are invalid
Then you realise the russians only ever used this on ground oil wells, and never underwater. and the other time they tried it on a natural gas leak, it blew a hole straight in the ground, and filled it with fire that will never stop burning.

Doing it underwater could be fucking suicide at those pressures. :page3:
[QUOTE=Levithan;22548339]Burn down a house to kill a flea.[/QUOTE] How is this a flea(sic)? If it were a flea then it wouldn't be an absolute disaster.
Isn't the Gulf of Mexico sitting on top of one of the world's largest subterranean methane deposits? I'm pretty sure I heard that somewhere. If it is, any sort of explosive at that depth is out of the question.
I'm surprised it's not been set on fire yet, surely some pissed off, overconfident fisherman will have thrown a lighter at all that oil.
Shut up about the radiation already. Do you know how many nuclear tests which MUCH bigger nukes were undertaken already? And I still haven't to grown my set of hentai tentacle penises.

Always bet on nuke. It worked on the japanese, why wouldn't it work on a silly hole? It might spit out shitty anime instead of oil.
[QUOTE=Brage Nyman;22586889]Always bet on nuke. It worked on the japanese, why wouldn't it work on a silly hole? It might spit out shitty anime instead of oil.[/QUOTE] I think we should clog the hole with this guys fat ass.
Is this seriously the best thing they could come up with?
HEY GUIZE LETS DO A NUKE ON WATUR TO CAVE IN PIPE, AND KILL MILIONS OF ANIMALS AND FISHM WHILE WE COULD CUT THE PIPE AND PUT A CAP ON IT SO THAT NOT AS MANY ANIMALZ DIE. /caps
2012 will be caused my a fucking oil leak. Didn't see that coming.
