...and it sounds like the blow-out preventer (BOP) could possibly
explode--due to the pressure and force of this operation.

If that happens, then the hole from which the oil is currently flowing, could
be blown open EVEN WIDER.

Then, we have a bigger, gaping chasm from which oil is gushing. I can't even
imagine what that would look like, or the extent of the devastation. You'd
have gigantic areas of oil coming out.

I'm no expert, but it sounds like this is just not going to work. It works on land, but
under water is a different story and with the oil flow and pressure fighting against it--I
just don't see how it works.

What also angers me, is that the downside is so high. We're talking horrendous, paradigm-shifting
consequences if we blow an even bigger hole that dramatically widens the oil-leak. They're
recklessly playing with our planet and with our lives and our future.
