so I guess their plan is to cover the hole with a dome.

But it’s increasingly clear that the gulf spill will be the worst in U.S. history, exceeding even the Exxon-Valdez accident, which spewed 11 million gallons of oil into Alaska’s Prince William Sound in 1989.
British Petroleum, which owns the sunken oil rig, plans to lower massive containment domes over the three leaks located more than 5,000 feet beneath the ocean’s surface. Even if the unproven strategy works, it would take more than a week before the flow of the oil is stopped. Last year it took 10 weeks to plug a similar broken well off the Australian coast.
