The End of Pesky Oil Leaks

As several strategies to stop the catastrophic Gulf oil spill have come up short, a report circulated last week that BP was considering using a nuclear bomb to seal the hole a mile beneath the ocean's surface. Desperate times call for desperate messages I suppose, but a nuclear bomb?

I pictured bringing my car in to the mechanic to fix an oil leak. "Don't you worry, Mr. Williamson. What we're going to do is set off a nuclear bomb in your car. We could tinker around with other repair methods, but that's the quickest way to knock out that leak for you. And it comes with a 90-day warranty."
