This technique was used on an oil spill in the Persian gulf in the 1990's. Even though it is late in the game, at least it would keep some of the oil off the shorelines. The moron in the White House rejected this suggestion. 2) You remove the upper section of the Blowout Preventer Stack, which is called the Lower Marine Riser Package, along with the recently sawed/sheared off riser pipe stub which is bolted on top of it. To do this you power up the VetcoGray H-4 connector that currently holds this LMRP in place on top of the lower section BOP Stack, and then unlock it. This connector is a hydraulically operated subsea connector, the same kind that connects the lower section BOP Stack to the Wellhead below it. After this LMRP is unlocked and lifted out of the way, you get a brand new 18-3/4" five ram lower section Blowout Preventer Stack. You then fully open this new lower section BOP Stack. There have been some still images from an ROV video feed that show what appears to be two 6-5/8" drill pipes that were sawed/sheared off inside of, and along with, the riser pipe above the LMRP. After the LMRP is removed, any pipes that remain sticking out of the improper functioning lower section Blowout Preventer Stack need to be sheared off at the top of it. After these pipes are sheared off, you then mount and lock your fully opened brand new lower section BOP Stack on top of the improper functioning 18-3/4" five ram lower section BOP Stack, using a VetcoGray H-4 connector. After this new lower section BOP Stack is firmly locked on top, you close it. This new functioning lower section Blowout Preventer Stack will completely stop the oil. The White House has also rejected this suggestion. Simply stated, of course anyone could stop it, this is not the first time an underwater oil leak ever occurred, it has happened in other places around the world, and those same special vessels that could have contained the leak to a small area and those companies that are capable of plugging the leak offered to assist immediately, but they were not allowed access into the Gulf of Mexico by order of odumbo because the maritime unions in the U.S. were upset that he would allow non union workers into the area, those vessels that were turned away are non-union... it's tragic, the only reason the leak continues to spill oil is because odumbo is protecting the unions... this is a political maneuver by very stupid people beginning with the jackass in the White House to protect his political agenda and America be damned...
