Ok, here's my idea. In order to stop the leak you make, what amounts to a huge bathtub stopper...
No, no ... wait ... hear me out.
You go to a foundry and make a huge disk, about 75 feet in diameter with a massive spike on the bottom at the center. On the opposite side of the massive steel plate you build a twenty foot tall steel wall reinforced with re-bar and steel cross beams.
So you basically have a huge, reinforced steel pie plate with a spike on the bottom.
You lower this plug to the bottom of the sea and line the spike up with the leaking well.
You then fill the pie plate with concrete and other objects of massive weight until the plug seals the hole.
I'm not certain of the pressure coming out of the well but I'm guessing the guys at Haliburton or BP know ... and I'm certain of you dump enough focused weight into a large enough spiked, pie-plate you could plug the well up.
Anyway, that's my idea and BP, Halliburton can feel free to cut me a huge check if they use my idea and it works ... though I won't hold my breath.
