re: #302 Gus 802

Now that I think of it. If they wanted to try something like this it doesn’t have to be a nuclear device. It could be conventional. Problem would be that you would have to drill adjacent to the current well site and close enough for the detonation to cause a collapse of the current well.

And why is this oil gushing in the first place? Has to be under enormous pressure—would an explosion potentially create another fissure where oil leaks out? I wonder how deep they had to drill below the ocean floor to get at the oil.
