Now I hope this capping stack assembly along with the blind rams et al, to secure a blowout preventor that will work.
In 1979, another Gulf Oil Disaster was caused when a well suffered a "blowout"
Along the Texas coast, they’ve lived this before
Now, we are talking about tens of thousands of pounds pressure. Since 1979 no advancements on proper containment? How about prior to 1979?

At 3:52 Minutes in above link,
We have 12 presses ranging from 45 to 800 tons
So what kind of pressures should we be able to modify this technology for an application such as controling pressure? It seems that 100 tons or more
would not be unobtainable.
Furthermore, if BP were to implement an invention such as the MYT Engine from Angel Labs, to be used as pumps to collect the oil, it would be small
cost effective management. Imagine the engine that can run on atmospheric air pressure and pump high volumes of _________________ (Place your

Well, hopefully the 3 Ram Capping Stack will work....
