Nuking the well

Dear President Obama,

It seems we are having a conversation through the Colbert Nation about how 'Crazy' it would be to Nuke the well. I don't see that you will have much of a choice.

You are now in charge of the largest man-made disaster ever. That group at BP is incompetent. The best thing they have done is get James Cameron involved. So now we get to see it in 3d.

1) Is it possible? Do we have the package? Yes, 155mm. Does it need modification?

2) You need to ask people to simulate the effect of the 155 at different depths. NCSA could produce a simulation in a couple of days of receiving the necessary data. The deeper the better.

3) This has been done before. Please ask the Russians for help.

4) Make sure seismographs are placed through out the Gulf to record the event. It is also necessary to test gamma-ray detectors satellites.

The reason the nuke is necessary is because the plug needs to become a couple hundred meters in diameter. Far larger then the diameter pipe. It needs to instantly change the silicon to glass.

Nothing else will do this.
