Former President Bill Clinton has suggested it may become necessary to blow up the Deepwater Horizon well. Clinton made the comment during a panel discussion in South Africa.

Bill Clinton: “Unless we send the Navy down deep to blow up the well and cover the leak with piles and piles and piles of rock and debris, which may become necessary — you don’t have to use a nuclear weapon, by the way, I’ve seen all that stuff, just blow it up — unless we’re going to do that, we are dependent on the technical expertise of these people from BP.”
