Nuke It?

Let's talk some more about this idea that has come up about using a nuclear bomb of the bunker buster type, to solve this oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Because the more I hear about it the more I wonder if whoever suggested it is a closet terrorist or a little short of a full deck. Like maybe twenty cards or so short. So, if we drop this bomb, it hits the water at full speed. But water has a tendency to slow things down. Not as much as rock, but slower. A mile of water would have a tendency to slow the bomb down some. That's not even considering that water is more dense deeper down. Then it hits the bottom and goes through silt . Ever get stuck a little in the mud in a lake? It kind of holds on to you, doesn't it? Well think about a couple of hunderd feet of muck. At some point the bomb hits rock. How do I know it hits rock? Well something has to be keeping the oil down there. Remember this oil is under tremendous pressure. If it was just mud and sand on top, it would have seeped out thousands or millions of years ago. Now, anywhere from there on, if the bomb explodes, we're in deep doodoo. See, right now the oil and gas is leaking out of a pipe that's, how big? Not more that 20 or 30 inches, right? Well if all that rock gets pulverized, and an atom bomb would surely pulverize it, then the oil would be leaking out of a hole about a mile in diameter. So instead of this leak continuing for years, it'll all be out in one day. Of course, if the bomb goes all the way down to the oil itself, then when it explodes, it vaporizes all the oil. Do you know what happens to a liquid when it vaporizes? We won't have oil in the ocean any more. But it'll be raining oil from out of the sky for a couple of years or maybe decades. I hope that if they use the bomb, they have the guy who came up with the idea saddle it up and ride it all the way.
