On earth day the oil company BP had a pipe that was nearly one mile down in the water. the pipe bursted and is leaking nearly fourhundred thousan gallons of oil a day in to the ocean. they engineers of bp have devised a plan to take a metal box and place it on top of the pipe forcing the oil to drain into it where a long tube could be used to collect the oil by pumping it into a oil tanker on the surface. they have done this before and it worked but this was in an area where the water was half as deep.
I think that the device will not work because it is so deep down and they have no way of dirrecting it downward so it will be all done by robots. this will be a very difficult thing to do with all of the currents and waves on that move the ocean. but however if they do succed this will be a maricle and save millions of animals lives. if they do not stop it soon it will be to late to do anything and we could be left will a mess that killed the ocean.
