This is truly sad and out of control. I think we should do like the Soviet Union did with their gas leaks and just blow this thing up. The thrust of the explosion moves the rock, presses on it, and, in essence, squeezes the well's channel. Or it doesn't work then we have a big oily nuclear reactive mess.
I think the haven't stopped it because the want to collect it. Sounds far fetched I know but I couldn't resist chiming in on this.
