Maybe B.P could build a 400 ft long auger with a pipe in the center of the flights,and the flights will fit inside the well. They could lower or drill the auger down the inside of the well, and pump the drilling mud or cement down the center of the auger, so the mud or cement comes out below the flights of the auger inside the well, and maybe the flights will help hold the mud or cement in the well, then B.Ps top kill process might work.

despite the optimistic claims BP has clearly FAILED again to stop the oil spill, since, 45 days after and four different methods adopted, also the “cap” used this night hasn’t solved the problem, because, only 6000 barrels (or less than 30% of the 20,000 barrels spewed every day from the BP well) is now collected by the cap’s top pipe, while, now, BP aims (read: “hopes”) to contain “90%” of the oil leak (that STILL gushes copiously from the cap bottom and will increase very much when the four vents atop the “containment” cap will be closed) but, also assuming the leak will fall to 10-30%, it, anyway, means, that several millions more gallons will be spilled in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Atlantic ocean, until the new well will be finished in mid-August (as “promised” by BP…) to divert the oil flux from the damaged well
.
well, despite I’m SURE that BP still won’t listen any suggestion from me or other, I’ve developed a further, cheap and simple idea to quickly CLOSE the wellhead and to STOP NOW up to 100% of the oil leak, and NOT only the expected/hoped “90%” using the (current) BP’s “cap” system
.
my new idea uses a TRUE cap (without any kind of pipe to gather the oil) to be inserted in the cutted riser on the top of the wellhead to (finally and completely) CLOSE it

ANOTHER BP LIE
Any one with very minimal experience knows; once you remove the weight with a rough cut you go back with the diamond cuter and make a smooth cut. SO, either BP did not spend the money to have a second saw standing by, or they have an ulterior motive. Ether way BP is lying to the public by omission. The President and Thad Allen are allowing it.
