sounds idiotic to me

That is AT the EXIT orifice. An umbrella barge up above it all would not have the same issues because it is being drawn off of, not fed by back pressure.

They're British.

If they fracture the well casing more than it is, when they pump the mud in from the relief well they will have a tuff time filling the well with mud. ( because it will be absorbed or forced into the surrounding rock formation) And they would not be able to stop the flow of oil to pump cement in.

You can't "draw off" a mass of slushy methane ice. It was tried in May and didn't work.

Government got involved, they decided to rethink what BP is doing. Here's a site with about 18 BP cameras. This one is interesting in that it shows the oil coming out of a side vent rather than the top. BSkandi - ROV 2 (456854) bkup=45684 (second row 4th picture) Only good as I write, they keep moving the cameras.
