<p>an expensive solution one geologist proposed was to dig a shaft under the ocean all the way to the leak site…workers would then dig around the blowout area until there is not enough oil to generate the pressure necessary for any oil to plume out…the valve would then be sealed in concrete</p>
<p>incredibly unsafe, expensive, and time-consuming, but there’s gotta be a brute force solution to everything, right?</p>
