Check out his video and notice the flange where the marine riser (upper cut-off part of the pipe) is connected to the blowout preventer (lower part). Why can't they unbolt the flange and then bolt a new valve onto that and then close the valve?

Oh that's right, I forgot. The BP people are a bunch of f-ing morons.
