Gulf Oil Spill: First Attempt With Oil Containment Box FAILS, Blobs Of Tar Reach Shore

Golf balls and rubber debris is their best guess for finally activating the blowout preventer. BP's wild guess work is unacceptable.

The data I really want are:
(1) exact diameters of the well
(2) materials and thicknesses of at each layer of the casing, including all strength of materials data, directly from manufacturer of steel, not from BP's jots on napkins or whatever they have
(3) pressure of this gusher, as a function of depth (if I recall correctly, pressure would vary in a vertical pipe, not just drop to zero as a step function at the height that P=mgh)
(4) materials naturally occurring at that depth (rock? what type?)

Then I can tell you how much mass needs to be dropped into that well, how fast, at what depth, and demolition experts can tell you whether they can do it. BP obviously does not have the right men for the job anywhere in their payroll. Nationalize the cleanup effort, hire any physicists, research geologists, mining engineers and other legitimate professionals to find the solution, direct the Army Corps of Engineers to implement it, and bill BP for the competent work it is obviously incapable of performing nor even contracting.

Leaving BP in charge is unacceptable.
