In my opinion the atom bomb thing should be prepared and get used as last solution. At a certain point there should be an evaluation if it's better to use an atom bomb to seal things (which has had high rates of success in Russia) giving you radiation problems (while I don't know if a H-Bomb uses less plutonium than e.g. the Little Boy had) rather than having "endless" amounts of oil flowing into the ocean...

Actually a good time for that may already have passed - I at least see no way this thing gets sealed anytime soon and the effects we have seen yet are just the beginning of even worse scenarios to come...

The entire situation is pretty bad though. They probably shouldn't have drilled there if they have so little options to encounter the possible problems...
