Mr. Michael Gruters Et Al:

The MAJOR problem RIGHT THIS MOMENT IN AMERICA FOR THIS NATIONAL DISASTER IN THE GULF OF MEXICO is
Cameron CEO, and Ruth Rogers cannot get him to budge, will NOT release full measurements of that 2001 BOP with
flanges possibly made in China. Remember that two ROVs can take a ladies 60 inch tape used for INSEAM
MEASUREMENTS COLOR YELLOW WITH BLACK INCHES MEASUREMENTS down to the well and POSSIBLY MEASURE
CLOSE ENOUGH THE FLANGE MACHINED SURFACE in order for a MACHINED SLEEVE to be connected with BOLTS
through the slightly larger SECOND FLANGE area to HOLD IN POSITION while it sits down on the flange with special
SEAL attached inside or external made of special material used in the LARGE BACKFLOW ASSEMBLY FLANGE
JOININGS.high pressure 15,000 PSI SOFT seal. The precise dimensions or measurements are critical for perfect fit.
But the U.S. Secret Service and Federal Bureau Of Investigation have apparently NOT KNOCKED ON THE DOOR !

Wait and see if the workers contaminated clothing and plastic bags of oil and tar plus sand and dirt are put in landfills
in violation of Federal and State LAW causing deaths and contamination all over the GULF AND ISLANDS TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST.then you will see SUPER SUITS WORTH TRILLIONS ! All because no one would seriously look at
ideas from two old people which work like clockwork and cost perhaps $20,000.00 to stop leaks. NOW WE HAVE A
NATIONAL DISASTER WITH OVER $750 MILLION SPENT !

Second request was made today and earlier to use the TOP KILL and JUNK SHOT type connectors used for
mud/cement to TAKE OFF OIL AND GAS to another ship or ships making the flow slower with less pressure to the top
of the BOP as the TWO 6 inch lines on MUD lines would allow pressure to be released quickly then the TOP HAT 4

1
could be raised up to get the measurements on the FLANGE needed to bring down a TOP HAT 5 FULL BORE 21 INCH
FLOW TO SURFACE SHIPS WITH SHUTOFF AND PERFECT SEAL would also allow, with proper weights that that sucker
would STOP LEAKING. Keep in mind these Branko R. Babic INVENTIONS WERE GIVEN perhaps several days if less
than a week after April 20 Explosion. Even as a Plumbing Contractor WE KNOW how to stop the leaks, get fuel and gas
up from 5,000 feet using super rubber annulars pulled tight with washers against the inside wall of the 21 inch riser
.812 inch thick areas but FIRST you have to CUT THE PIPE SO YOU GET A ROUND AREA.

As far as the BOP TOP RISER is concerned one must HOLD BACK PRESSURE ON THE CUT AREA THEN SHEAR CUT
FROM TOP.then move crane over dropping the long section of pipe then come back, hook up the crane, take the
pressure OFF the riser clamping on to same with a crane then cut first across the BACK OF THE RISER then make a
cut down near the flange allowing a 1 foot pipe thick wall inserted with 12 inches washer beveled to put force on riser
internal pipe to crush it to flangethen above that have weights to keep it in place, shutoff valve and flange to go to
surface risers which MUST be flotation. S T U P I D I D E A perhaps but it would work and stop all leaks. My
initial idea was to have a short super thick sleeve go over the riser to stop splitting the riser pipe but a short cut into
the area above that flange would have done the same thingNO MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FOR CLEANUPS.all leak would have been stopped.

Another STUPID IDEA was making up the BRANKO R. BABIC COUNTER PRESSURE PLUG AND WITH WEIGHTS
FORCING SAME DOWN ONTO RISER INTO THE FLANGE SEAL BUT THAT WOULD HAVE SHUT DOWN THE WELL ------
UNLESS THE TOP KILL AND MUD KILL AREAS WERE USED TO DRAW OIL, GAS AND WATER TO THE SURFACE SHIPS
UNTIL STUDIES COULD BE MADE OF LIFTING THE BOP OFF THE MALE SECTION, MOVING IT OVER ON THE SEA BED
THEN BEFORE SUCH MOVE ANOTHER BOP WOULD BE IN PLACE TO SET DOWN ON THE EXISTING MALE PROTRUSION
SECTION FITTING INTO THE FEMALS SECTION OF THE BOP LIKE BEFORE.NEW BOP.. S T U P I D I D E A AS
NO ONE REMEMBERED ABOUT USING WATER HOSES FROM SURFACE TO BLOW WATER SCREENS OR WATER FLOW
SO THE NEW BOP SEAL COULD BE VISIBLE AND SECOND SHIP WITH CRANE HAVING NEW REPLACEMENT BOP ON
BOTTOM COULD SEAL THE AREA AND GUESS WHAT..THAT ONE WOULD WORK !

Again. Too many EXPERTS is like TOO MANY CHIEFS AND NOT ENOUGH INDIANS FOR A WAR OUT WEST Indians
LOOSE !

The FIFTY YEARS spent working was not in a classroom getting a DOCTORATE ON STUPIDITYthose Municipal and
County Water AND Sewer workers have solved such problems many times when the EXPERTS WITH THE DEGREES
were still trying to stay awake in offices thinking of a solution. We have done that in the past ! My concern will
always be that those 8 story items are STRAIGHT UP ON THE SEA BED rather than lying down on I beams with casings
2
going into shutoff valves with tees and straight thru section goes into a tee then has a flat plate with bored risers with
shutoff and connections to make mud or cement go down into casing shaft under pressure with the Horizontal Run of
the TEE attached to another Shutoff then to the bottom of the BOP lying downthen out of the top of the BOP is a 90
degree flanged ell then a shutoff up toward surface with connection female flange for riser 21 inchesthat would
allow changing the BOP shutting down two shutoffs and unhooking bolts and nuts for two flanges.maybe ONE
QUARTER TURN release with bolts stopping release. CHANGED THE BOP.EASY ! USE MUD LINES TO PULL OFF
GAS, OIL into 21 INCH RISERS UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO TURN ON THE BOP AND TAKE IT OFF THE TOP SECTION.
STUPID IDEAS !

USE THE TEE APPROACH AND IF NECESSARY DUE TO BLOW OUT..GET A BRANKO R. BABIC FRICTION PLUG.OPEN
THE FLANGE THRU SECTION OF TEE, OPEN THE SHUTOFF, WITH THE SHUTOFF OPEN TO CASING THEN LET THE
BRANKO R. BABIC FRICTION PLUG BE RELEASED TO GO DOWN INTO SAY 1,000 FEET OF PIPE TO WEDGE AGAINST
WALL AND PUMP OUT THE SALT WATER AND OIL THEN FILL THE CAVITY WITH FRESH WATER FULL CEMENT AND
FORGET THE WELL UNTIL THE CASING ROTTED THROUGH FROM THE SALT WATER YEARS LATER THEN BE DEAD
AND LET THE GRANDCHILDREN HAVE A WAY TO PUT SPECIFIC TYPES OF STAINLESS STEEL PIPE WHICH WILL NOT
DETERIORATE DOWN FOR CASINGS IN THE FUTURE..WORRYING ABOUT 4,000 OTHER RIGS WHICH MAY BLOW
SOON !

Get the picture. Solve the leaks in 8 hours starting 042610 when warned 042310 OR spend $750 MILLION DOLLARS
trying to clean up 65 MILLION GALLONS OF OIL SPILLED ON THE GULF COAST.let me see.. $20,000.00 and four
days for four spill areas.OR SPEND $750 MILLION AND CONTAMINATE THE ENTIRE GULF COAST AND ALL
ISLANDS SOUTH AND EASTMAYBE EVEN EUROPE IF WE CANNOT STOP THE LEAKS BECAUSE WE WILL NOT GET
THE MEASUREMENTS AND SHUT IT DOWN IMMEDIATELYTOUGH DECISIONS FOR BP .WHEN
USCG/USN/NAVY SEABEES AND CONTRACTORS GET IT SHUT DOWN LEAKING AND DRAW OFF THE OIL.THE
DAMAGE WILL BE THERE FOR 50 YEARS OR MORE.FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN OR GREAT GRANDCHILDREN OF
THEIRS TO REALLY DEAL WITH IN THE LATE 2100S WHEN ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE BECAUSE NO ONE
REMEMBERED STEEL RUSTS FROM OUTSIDE IN SALT WATERships with holes in plates much thicker sitting in
mothball fleets should have told BP something!

Just another STUPID DECORATED AMERICAN VETERAN with a second STUPID IDEA FOR THE WELL OWNERS WHO
WERE INVOLVED IN IXTOC 1 PERHAPS in 1979 ! Thank GOD PEMEX LISTENED! WHO GAVE BP A PERMIT FOR SUCH
A DEEP WELL OR DID THEY ?

3
Chief Electrician Mike Williams on 60 Minutes said the permitted area started drilling and LOST A RISER AND DRILL
then the Deepwater Horizon moved over to another location to DRILL and this one went super deep through many
thousands of feet into the OIL.was that depth authorized and did BP report the failed UNSEALED DRILLING POINT
mentioned by this Chief Electrician ?

Subject: attn: Chris Matthews - Stop Leak Now (SLN) / Oil Collection Rings (OCR) / Seal Well Now (SWN) - limited <550 words

Proposed to BP and multiple media sources for over a month (link 1). - can not sleep watching this disaster take place, unabated while there are solutions.
Warning: As you may concur - We do not have time to wait for relief wells in August ( may be more like November and may not work) , by that time the Gulf
will be a dead sea, Florida beaches and Everglades will be black (more like orange goo), oil/dispersant mix headed north to wipe out east coast killing all life
in it's path. There will be stench of rotting animal life and toxic air which will promote respiratory disease and cancer. When there is a hurricane it will "paint"
the inland with slime and goo which will then be unlivable - We most stop those responsible for exacerbating this unmitigated global disaster NOW . God help
us - amen .

1) Stop Leak Now (SLN) Simplest Fix Replace old flange (link 2) and broken (now cut) pipe at top of BOP has (6) hex nuts with new flange & leak-less
riser pipe to surface. This is similar proceedure to when well was first installed (2001). This could have been done after the smoke cleared (day 2) and this
disaster avoided -It is unfathomable why this was not done.
2) Oil Collection Now - using newly designed Oil Containment Rings OCRs Stop prior and future oil disaster.
3) Seal Well Now (SWN) drill +1000' parallel proximity shaft place proper amount of explosives seal new shaft detonate ! Conventional explosive
should be adequate to blow bedrock through a 21" shaft - how about tunnels through mountains or Hover Dam ! Suggested nuclear explosion is absolutely
ludicrous and at least 1000 times overkill . This could fracture the seabed floor collapsing into oil reserve and releasing 25,000 square miles of oil.
