Oil Spill Fix Idea

Here's the idea...

1) Create a large cone made of some hard substance. It has a hole in the top, and get lowered over the leak. It's wide enough and heavy so that it seals the bottom to the ocean floor.

2) Oil comes out the top until the bottom is sealed off.

3) Once the bottom is sealed a pipe is attached to the top and oil (and some water) is pumped to the surface. This oil is contained at the surface.

4) Now that the oil is contained, the cone can be reinforced and made more permanent.
