Best idea I've seen yet.
This will work.
Needs some help getting an audience with the right people.
Your help appreciated to help spread the word.
I have no vested interest other than to get this situation under control.

Any idea how they tighten all the nuts and bolts?
I'm quite sure that James Cameron or Robert Ballard could show them how THEY did this sort of thing at more than twice the depth.

I have no idea what force the oil coming up through 12000 ft of rock is exerting. I wouldn't like risking have that force lift the whole assembly off whatever keeps it attached to the pipe inside that "shaft".
Tightening nuts and bolts?
Screws loose?
At depths exceeding a mile.
Ballard has done extensive work at three times that depth. Cameron has worked at at least 2 miles.
Tightening nuts and bolts?
Oh, and there are MANNED submersibles that can work at almost 4 miles depth.

The under sea robots.

The issue is specifically addressed.

All you need now is a skilled, volunteer crew.
So, remotely operated. What about visibility?
Volunteer? Do you think BP is made up of volunteers?
Meanwhile, Cameron already offered HIS services to help, and was rebuffed by BP, who doesn't want any outsiders to see what is really going on.

Lobby has limited vision...
You think they are somehow faking the live video of the well?
If it's not good - and it doesn't seem to be - then it would seem to be much more difficult to get ROVs to manipulate nuts and bolts.
