Wow I just realized, maybe they can't attach a shut off valve to the blowout preventer flange because if they completely seal the well at the top, if the concrete that forms the bond with the sea floor is compromised (blame Haliburton) the pressures coming out of the well would blow the entire set up off the floor resulting in a widening well head making it even more difficult to seal shut. That's why they had better hope they connect with the relief wells.
I don't understand what caused fractures 7 miles away with oil leaking out of them. Is the author saying the Deepwater Horizon mishap caused these distant fractures? How does that happen? Maybe it has something to do with the Haiti earthquake? Maybe that cracked the concrete well plugs down inside the well shaft and caused them to fail? I have heard there was a rig leaking something like 7-12 miles away to the west of this site but nothing of fractures scattered around that area.
I watched the Sixty Minutes interview where the guy said the annular valve seal was damaged by being closed and having about twelve feet of the drill shaft pulled upwards chewing up the rubber seal. Then at some point the two concrete plugs failed. Anyway who can believe any one thing at this point? What does it matter? We have to stop the oil.
And that article talks about the nuke option being our last resort to stop the oil but what about all the other leaks in the area? Are they all going to be stopped with one nuke or does each fracture need a nuke? The reasoning seems to imply there are multiple fractures within a 7 mile radius but if we seal the one well it will solve the problem. I'd need to know more details.

Now that the well is capped, I'm still not clear why they would expect leaks elsewhere, if leaks hadn't shown up before the "accident".
My prediction is that they will use the low-pressure readings as an excuse to open the valves again. And this should play right into scenarios like the one Inventor X posted.

Hmm. Given the evidence, a mediocre detective would easily conclude that BP was aware of these leaks prior to the "accident" and then proceeded to stage said "accident" to acheive some objective. It is not clear yet what that objective was. And, a fifth-grader would suspect that it was to hide these other leaks. But why?

Dude those "other leaks" are natural fissures commonly found around asphalt volcanoes. Google it. they found them back on '04 in the gulf and along the Cali coast. Not a volcano like a lava one that can explode but built like a volcano with layers of hardened bitumous tar (like Labrea tar pits). The type of oil solidifies in the cold high pressures and forms these domes. The oil comes up naturally through fissures on the sea floor. What they were doing drilling into one of these... I don't know.
I did a little checking around and found out BP is putting a lot of money into "green" tech like windmills. Then just recently watched an hour long video on the Davos group of energy bigwigs. Tony Hayward was one of the speakers and he talked about how China is the next BIG market for oil and how US is moving towards the green tech. So it doesn't take much to see they are projecting long range market demands. I don't know what,how, or why but something is fishy. I can't say they did anything deliberately but maybe they're like "F.U. America! We're going to China and oh by the way are you interested in buying some windmills?" I don't really care about the details I just wish we would move away from oil (the Davos group is projecting oil demands 30-50 yrs in the future) and utilize zero-point energy. Check out: Rodin coil and Joe Cell. cool stuff.

try this one out for size:
http://theintelhub.com/2010/06/18/gulf- ... ized-plan/
sell your stocks and run the company into the ground or just move it to a better market (China, Russia) and/or buy companies (Boots and Coots) that specialize in cleaning up the mess you just made.
