Would be nice if the media & we focused on the important things:
1. Stopping the flow of this thing. The leaking pipe down there isn't all that important in the grand scheme. Stopping the flow of the well at the BOP or 18,000 feet deep where the relief wells will intersect it _is_ the important part.
