So if any one here has any real suggestions I would be glad to pass them on. Here is our chance to do more than just complain about the problem.

The current containment cap is scheduled to be removed in a week or two, right? That's why they're still looking for suggestions?

The actual rate of flow should be measured at that point. A lot of errors (both of management and design) could have been prevented if the volume and speed of oil had been known.
