which shows how difficult the situation is. the problem isn't operating an rov at those depths its plugging the hole, which requires an engineering solution. and as clever cameron thinks he is, you become a professional engineer after years of academic study and hands on experience. engineering is a profession that you don't just pick up after making a few films, the math and science etc is too complex for that.

bp are one of the worlds biggest companies, and if this is/will costing them billions. if there was anyone out there with the expertise to fix this, they would have been hired whatever the cost. the solutions they are trying are obviously the best of a limited number of options.
