Questions on my list:
I heard BP did not use a safety device commonly used in the North Sea. What is the difference between that and the Blow out preventer mentioned above?

I heard Dutch experts offered to help but were spurned. True? Why?

I heard that Russia solved a similar problem by detonating a nuke above the well, presumably to crush / compact everything in the entire area. This sounds somewhat better than the above scenario. Comments?

How does the environmental damage compare to the "dead zone" that apparently occurs somewhere in the area annually (caused by fertilizer runoff/algae bloom)?
