I have recently heard that the slant drill method is intended to be pretty deep, possibly down at the oil level.

So top kill has failed, and we are about to see Son of Containment Cap. I hope this one works. It's some fascinating attempts, I just wish the cost of failure wasn't quite so high.

I should also say that the amount of effort you people put into text based graphics is both impressive and absurd at the same time. Nice job, though.
