I think the relief will will be accurate and if it doesn't relief most of the pressure from the blown well the second relief well should do the trick.
Once the pressure is off the blown well they can pump concrete down the hole.
Exactly.

Oh, I get it, they will pump mud down from the relief well like they tried with the top kill?

It's basically bottom kill instead of top kill. By pumping the mud in deep, they don't have to fight to get it to go down like they did with the topkill.
