Destroy the wellhead, USE THERMITE, or whatever else you need to SEAL this MFER.....be done with it.

BP doesn't want to do that because they stand to lose Billions in potential revenues. The cleanup effort will cost significantly LESS, and they don't give a CRAP about our land.......PERIOD.

Geo, what are you thinking?!! Thermite is a mixture of aluminum and iron oxide (isn't that rust) that requires considerable heat (4,000 degrees) to ignite. It will burn through anything in seconds. Do not try to extinguish a thermite reaction using WATER. When you have CAREFULLY selected your site, it is safest to let it burn.

Considering the under water location of the wellhead, the cold water temperature at 5,000 ft. depth, and that Thermite will burn through ANYTHING, wouldn't that produce still more problems? If it were possible to use Thermite, I can't imagine what would happen with something burning at 4,000 degrees with oil gushing out over it.
