What has BP or the gov't said in response to this? is there a good reason why they wouldnt want to try and block the hole? idk but maybe blocking the hole could make things worse.

i not nearly as up to date on this, but has anyone heard or read a reason why, so far, the curative attempts dont include blocking the leak?

ill look it up.
