I don't doubt it would have had to be a HUGE undertaking, but even if it took 2 weeks and $Millions to accomplish, it would still have been worth it, in order to have saved $Billions in damages.

Anyway, that was just one idea. I'm sure we could get 10 more, just off of GFY!

How about launching an enormous non-exploding missile into the leak, to act as a giant cork?

I know these ideas are maybe childish, but now that we are 36 days into this, almost any idea is better than nothing.
