We have explosive engineers who can drop a high rise building without a brick falling across the street. We form metals with precisely calculated explosives.

I'm really fairly certain that we could use conventional explosives to squash the well pipe flat, which is what the hydraulic rams in the BOP were supposed to do.

Not only that, but once the technique was developed, one could be put on every well as a backup to the BOP. So this would NEVER happen again.
