BP and Cloud Sourcing

I'm astounded that the oil spill problem in the gulf is still going on. Every problem has a solution, and if you throw enough resources at it then it has to be possible to fix it or improve it.

Having said that, I've not got the full facts. I was wondering if there's a place that you can get all the information - the design of the breach, the rate of flow, the diameter of the pipe, the likely pressures, what the access is like, how deep it is, what tools are available. If this informaiton was shared then "the croud" might be able to offer some ideas. I understand that most of these would be mad or stupid or already thought of, but the power of the crowd is that it is likely to come up with several plausable, lateral thoughts that might just fix it.

Two possible areas for suggestions - stopping the flow or mittigating the damage

It's a brainstorming session, so no flaming or derogatory comments.

If you've got any ideas, please comment them here...I'm going to add a few.
