Fuck, all BP is interested in is to retrieve/recover the oil. Screw the leak, and screw the environment.

There's a sunken oil rig near by, why don't they just drag it on top of the leak? Or sink an old cruise ship on it? It may not stop the leak but at least sufficiently slow the leak plug it up with cement

BP's efforts are fucking pathetic, in the end its all about the money and in the end its going to be us that are going to suffer the consequences. I really wonder how fucked our aqua life is gonna be in the next decade, especially if a hurricane blows through the whole mess

Suddenly everyone is a Heavy Petroleum Engineer! And by 'they' you mean some of the worlds smartest Engineers, I think they've considered your idea.
Really, there is no way out short of..
1.) Relief Well
2.) Nuke
That's the unfortunate reality. When dealing with extreme formation pressure, and extreme water depths, the options are very limited. Even then, there are no guarantee the relief well will work 100%. That's why they started on two. What if both don't work? Then they have to try drilling again, again, and again. This could get extremely ugly.
this sucks. well at least the good thing is oil doesnt mix with water... imagine cleanup if oil is diluted in the water.....
The problem is that the chemical dispersant that they have been using do dilute the oil into the water making it nearly impossible to recover or remove. Apparently there are plumes of the chemically dispersed oil underneath the surface of the water but we cant see it!
