This is such a horrible situation and could not come at a worse time.

AP is reporting this disaster could be worse than the Exxon Valdez.  Initially thought to be leaking 40,000 gallons per day of oil is actually 200,000 gallons per day.  5 times worse than expected.  2 weeks at a minimum to shut it off.

Know any engineers who can come up with a way to stem the flow?

Do not handle oiled wildlife.  Call 866-577-1401 to report.
